Watching one of my favourite YouTube Chefs make his #BeefBourguignon recipe. For the wine reduction he recommends this boxed wine because it’s “cheap, palatable and tastes good when cooked” 😂 #Ouch #FoodTube

Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin. How times change.

Since April's election, oil and gas lobbyists notched at least 177 meetings with federal officials — a third of which were in September alone. If Tuesday's budget is any indication, they successfully persuaded Prime Minister Mark Carney's government www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/06/n...

I'd be lying if I said I'm not enjoying all the meltdowns.

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody. Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

If you have friends or family members with uh, “interesting views” on #ZohranMamdani becoming Mayor of New York City? You have 50 days to un-invite them to your Christmas Party.

The Toronto #BlueJays gave us arguably the closest #WorldSeries in modern history, and the most fun and inspiring playoff run I can remember in any sport. I LOVE THAT TEAM, and 100% believe #TORONTO should have a HUGE CELEBRATION ANYWAY, to thank the team, fans, city and COUNTRY for a legendary run!

The largest oil & gas producers in Canada may be under-reporting their clean-up costs by **$113 billion**

A month ago, I had to pull the blinds in my home office daily at 5:30 pm. As the sun blinded me otherwise. Today, the sun did me the favour of setting at 5:06 pm, so I didn't have to get up to pull the blinds. #WinterIsComing #YYC

Ladies and gentlemen, the head of ICE operations in Chicago. The only thing missing is the swastika armband.

I feel like something more people need to understand about having a village is that you need to do things for other people too.

oh okay charlotte airport. we're playing the cranberries softly over the speakers just as the sun rises?? we are targeting wistful white women in their late thirties, before coffee???

Dont forget the part where there they knocked down a whole neighborhood to build the lower one. It was almost 30 years before that displaced population rooted for the Dodgers, and only because of Fernando Valenzuela.

Sigh.

Yamamoto. Gotta slay a god to win

Tell that to the dog I just woke up by screaming at my TV.

Yes it’s going to be fun, but tonight may also break records for the use of anxiety meds in Canada. #Game7 #WorldSeries #GoJaysGo

Thank god Halloween is over and there are no more major holidays until Christmas

Canadian power must help people, not tech bros and crooks. All provinces should follow BC's example and ban power allocation for cryptocurrency mines and set electricity allocation priorities for businesses they believe matter most www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/30/o...

Schedule physio for 7:30 am on Tuesday October 28th I said. There’s no way you’ll be up late on a Monday night I said. #WorldSeries #GoJaysGo #SleepDeprivation

Wait, the opinions of 47 of us are more important than the rights of 5,000 of you? Sorry, that wasn't supposed to be a question #AbLeg

Ganley: govt. This govt could have bargained in faith; they could have recalled legislature early, they could have allowed people the time to write in, to engage in democracy but they didn't -- because they didn't want to.

Saving this list to drop into conversations with people who blame the Feds when they should in fact, blame the Premier.

You know, someone who’s extremely good on the predatory aspects of AI and other tech while also acting like a normal person is Brian Merchant.

To put #YYC drivers in perspective, we live across the street from a school, someone was speeding & hit a squirrel. The squirrel is so flat, the magpies have given up trying to find something to snack on. Now, replace “squirrel” with “child” and that’s what could have happened. #CalgaryDrivers

i once again would like to express some alarm and concern at the sheer pace of Nazi-related news updates

When he says “record education funding” he means in nominal terms — and forgets to mention that nominal funding is almost always at record highs. On a per-student basis, and after adjusting for inflation? It isn’t even close.

Sorry, are these Rogers ads during the World Series from “The Proud Owners of Canada’s Team” supposed to make me feel thankful for Canada’s Telecomm oligopoly? #BringItHomeJays #WeAreBlueJays #WorldSeries

The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI. But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.

Them: “Danielle Smith changed the rules because voting machines can be hacked for voter fraud” Me: Explains how tabulators are used that *count paper votes* and no actual voting or hacking occurs on said machines. Them: 🤯 #YYC #ABPoli
