Funniest moment on Jeopardy in a l-o-n-g time.

🙂

I watched the whole thing because it's astonishing

Ha ha ha

This is impressive but I liked it better when a "song" always involved singing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Fu...

Wait, the Superb Owl was today?!? Honest, I didn't know. Did the laundry, some difficult crosswords, some reading. Prepped dinner. Discussed opera with my DH. A good day!

I saw this yesterday afternoon. All round very impressive production and performances. Worst moment? The Duke had just sung the first notes of the love duet when a voice from the heavens announced that the performance was being stopped for a medical emergency. www.youtube.com/shorts/OzyTg...

Media have "A million other priorities. The abused women and girls are nothing but a plot device, just like they always were. It’s the pussy-grabbers’ world – we just live in it." Marina Hyde Fri 6 Feb www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It's stunning to understand that Republican House Members and Senators will go along with tRump's moves to fix the mid-term election in the U.S. because it will help them get re-elected, even if those moves are illegal or anti-constitutional.

I wrote this piece as a commission from the Duet Club's Women of Song choir and it has now been published by Cypress Choral Music. It is a secular seasonal piece for SSAA and piano. The choir in the recording is the Healey Willan singers of Toronto. cypresschoral.com/composers/da...

Spending is up in Ontario? they build hospitals, but don't staff them, except with agency nurses. $ for developers and private for-profit agencies, nothing for patients. All an excuse to privatise, because the system Cons have broken "doesn't work".

@qntm.org explains the effects of the malevolent entity in his masterpiece There Is No Antimemetics Division. "It turns people into people who do not see people as people." p.268. In my view, it describes perfectly how authoritarian regimes use police and army against their own citizens.

I read some of the motions that were voted on at the Conservative convention in Calgary. Some were disturbing and illustrate how American are their views. i know party members are more extreme than supporters but voters might vote for them not knowing all of what is in their platform.

Well, Carney's Liberals are getting quality people to represent Canadians in Parliament. There is hope.

I can't disagree: B.C. premier says Alberta separatists seeking assistance from U.S. is 'treason' www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

All this snow made of think of cycle I wrote for high voice and piano called Snow Songs on poems of Archibald Lampman. Here is an orchestral arrangement of that song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOZV...

Reminded of why, climate change aside, even if I only put them on once a year, I still need proper winter boots for the snow.

This is a fascinating read explaining how Polièvre will be overwhelmingly confirmed by his base. I'm sure the demographics carry over to the U.S. where MAGA supporters are so at odds with many other American Voters. abacusdata.ca/who-is-in-th...

The only way to stop the murderous nonsense is for Americans to dethrone tRump before elections become impossible. He now talks about "climate insurrectionists". Make up an insurrection, cancel the midterms. Easy-peasy.

Canada is being attacked by Chairman Orange because he is too chicken to take on China. All his aggressivity is forging new links between the world and China, so who's "winning"?

“the Canadian exit was sudden, synchronized, and devastating.” Damn straight 💪🇨🇦

We watched Starfleet Academy episode 2 in which the Doctor sings Papageno opposite an alien Papagena played by former COC Ensemble singer Jamie DeGroote. He was fine, she was great. I wonder if what we heard she sang with the "head" on.

Exactly as you here from the U.S. People who don't know the difference between Socialism and Communism. Many very successful European democracies identify themselves as Democratic Socialists.

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, I believe most Canadians will agree that it is in Canada's best interests if you cancel all of Palantir's contracts with the Canadian government. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I thought I'd push the snow to the side of the driveway and then blow it until I started shovelling. Fired up the Toro. 20 cm (8"). Wet enough to stick to the shovel.

China (totalitarian dictatorship, flouting trading rules, ignorer of neighbours' sovereignty) becomes a more reasonable economic partner than U.S.! La Chine (dictature totalitaire, briseur de règles commerciales, violeur de souveraineté des voisins) semble un meilleur partenaire économique que É.U.!

Not just the Sun. Post Media also owns The National Post and Post Media is controlled (63%) by Chatham Asset Management an American hedge fund.

first day back to school wasn’t too bad. only about 4 meltdowns in the parking lot. the kids were fine tho.

Make America Go Away.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Here another short video, this time of beautiful drone shots of Le Pont du Gard with original accompanying music. There's a playlist on my youtube channel: maestroF100 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw08...

There will be lots of *talk* of Canadian resistance, even armed. How much *action* will we see? Canadians are still travelling to Murrica, still buying their stuff (despite weak attempts at boycotts), still slowly erasing our different identity, still ignoring our history.

Let's hope Canadians are as valiant as Ukrainians when the "precision" violence rains on us. But I despair when I see big numbers still traveling south, consuming Murrican products, not seeing internal MAGA traitors. And after tRump, there will be Vance, Rubio, Miller...

Interesting idea but Dougie wouldn't go for it.

All those who thought the U.S. armed forces would be a bulwark against dictatorship by refusing illegal orders have been proven wrong by the attack on Venezuela. Those young people have been indoctrinated that state violence is exciting, honourable and glorious. Brace for more!

When a hard Conservative like Andrew Coyne sees the complete MAGAfication of the Poilièvre party, *everybody* should see it clearly. Even those who voted for Pea-Hare.

The Truth about Venezuela.

tRump *must* have privately auctioned the oil exploitation rights to U.S. petroleum companies. As long as the army obeys him, there will be more violence against other countries. Aggressive dictators always need an army and ICE-type militias are not disciplined enough.

I would love one!

I'm still not sure what was the point of this piece. When I watch hockey on TV I don't need to be reminded of the culture wars. I get enough of that in my news feed. www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

Let me be the first to wish one and all a Happy New Year. Be Blessed. So with a boundless heart Should one cherish all living beings; Radiating kindness over the entire world: Spreading upwards to the skies, And downwards to the depths; Outwards and unbounded, Freed from hatred and ill-will.
