If you’re a Canadian who doesn’t care about hockey, tomorrow morning will probably be the best time ever to do your grocery shopping, hit Costco or go to IKEA.

Sidney Crosby out of the lineup today. : (

They played SO well. What a great game Canada. You were amazing.

I'm looking for some quick feedback on Season 2 of #ThePitt. What do you like? How realistic is the medicine? What are your takes on the characters? All impressions welcome. ER healthcare providers' feedback especially welcome.

Overtime Bill Brownridge 2021

Palmerston, a cat who served as the “chief mouser” for Britain’s diplomatic service, has died in Bermuda. He was about 12.

"Musk’s posts included him repeatedly claiming white people face systemic discrimination, endorsing the conspiracy that there is an ongoing genocide against white people in countries around the world ..."

This is an incredible photo.

NBCUniversal drew ~21.4M viewers for the Milano–Cortina opening ceremony vs. ~16M on CBC/Radio-Canada. Adjusted for population, it was about 6× more watched in Canada than the U.S. A real tale of two countries—and how they engage with the world. www.thestar.com/rolling-file... #MilanoCortina2026

Wow.

Time to share this brilliant piece by Kevin Killeen again. Why February is the worst month of the year. youtu.be/38PB3sBZxf4

Trump: "I don't think I've ever seen you smile." Collins: "Well, I'm asking you about survivors ..."

Poilievre just told #CP26 "There's never been a referendum crisis or a national unity crisis when Conservatives have been in power It's an interesting coincidence isn't it" False. BQ was the product of Mulroney's time in office. Borden - WWI conscription crisis. Sir John - Louis Riel. C'mon man.

Also on CBC Radio's Day 6 tomorrow, it felt like a good week for the return of our segment 'America, What the Hell?' This week's guest is @muellershewrote.com. You can also listen online: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

JD Vance speaks at the March for Life behind bulletproof glass

I enjoy this mostly for the impression it might leave with international audiences that Bonhomme is Canada's governor general. bsky.app/profile/mark...

906 days. That's how long Meta's been blocking news in Canada. Doesn't matter if the outlet is based in Canada, the U.S. or Germany – we can't read it. Small non-profit or legacy newspaper. Can't read it. Posts made before Aug. 1, 2023? Nope. But disinformation, AI-generated spam, that'll pass.

We're talking about this with @jeetheer.bsky.social on CBC Radio's Day 6 tomorrow. Steve Bannon has compared Canada to Ukraine, and talk is more prominent of using a potential Alberta referendum as a reason to try to take Canada.

So the newsy bit from Carney's second big speech of the week will probably be the pointed lines near the end: "Canada does not live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadians."

And in her next post: "Musk’s participation in the bikini trend opened the floodgates. Grok went from making 300k images a week to 4.4 million." Nearly half of Grok's images were sexualized depictions of women.

Trump demands Carney give him his standing ovation from Davos

The contrast between this and Carney’s speech could not be more alarming or shocking.

Here's Canadian PM Mark Carney's speech at the World Economic Forum. It's 30 mins in length. www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

I spoke to CBC earlier this week about what it’s like to live in Minneapolis. It’s only the tiniest snapshot of what it has been like in this city. But I hope it helps people outside of Minnesota understand what ICE is doing to our community.

Hey so, uh, @thebeaverton.com ...do we just...quit?

"Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

As dark as the last few days have been, the courage of the people of Minneapolis fills me with true hope. I do not know what will happen next. But in this moment, the love of community we see in Minnesota gives us all a beacon of light.

Here's my CBC radio Day 6 interview about autistic Barbie.

From a toy store in Minneapolis. A toy store.

You can hear Nicole's powerful story on Day 6 on CBC Radio tomorrow morning, or you can listen via the link below.

"How would you currently describe relations between Canada and the US?" Bad: 83% Neutral: 12% Good: 4% EKOS / Jan 14, 2026 / n=1012 / MOE 3.1% / IVR

They literally always accuse protesters of being paid because 1) it shifts the terrain of the debate and 2) it reassures their base that no one legitimately holds a contrary position. They take comfort in thinking that anyone who disagrees with Trump is either brainwashed or a cynic.

There will always be people fighting like hell to keep it from being unbearably worse. ~Martha #Gellhorn

Watch my address on the ongoing federal presence in Minnesota: youtu.be/fGTsYXBWQgU

We've analysed new videos published by @vahid.online that show rows of body bags at the Kahrizak mortuary in Tehran on 10 January. We've counted at least 186 bodies in one clip and at least 178 bodies in another, although the true figure is likely much higher. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"The aim is to prevent the world from turning into a den of thieves."

Pastor: I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.'

This is so great. "You guys are all sons to me now." What an amazing idea to enjoy and learn from the food and cultures around us.

In case this was missed amid all of the other news of the week.

Helpful!

"Journalists and their news orgs can show their patriotism by doing their jobs of seeking the truth, no matter who it offends. They can serve the public by reporting honestly & deeply on what their government is up to and why even if that means they lose access or get sued." @sulliview.bsky.social

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been dissolved, ending its 58 years as the primary funder for PBS, NPR and local TV and radio stations

Watch to the end for the surprise ending – when she's arrested.

here’s hoping 2026 is just one year
