Everyone else is showing off with all this snow. We haven't had any! Where's my snow?? I want it!!

Why is every government so horny for a balanced budget?

Hockey fans watching the gold medal game in Toronto loudly booing Gretzky whenever he appears on screen is very pleasing to me.

I feel a little bit insane for thinking as I walk down the street on a February night, with cherry trees in full bloom: 'I wish I was in Winnipeg.'

Sorry, I'm busy rediscovering emoji kitchen

Olympics Dog was chasing the motorized camera they have to capture the competitors at the finish line, then decided to chase some competitors instead

Can we move the Emily Carr Library so that I don't feel like I'm risking my life every time I have to go there? #yyj

call me a carceral urbanist or whatever but i think that if you murder an entire family with your SUV, at the very least, you should never be allowed to drive again

I don't think I've ever found a sitcom couple as loathsome to watch as these two. I'd include Jim and Pam but I barely watched the office, so they get a pass.

NEW from me today: Tumbler Ridge is mourning a horrific loss. But how the shooter's identity is being talked about online, and the dangerous links being made to trans people at large, will have resounding and dangerous impacts in the months and weeks to come. xtramagazine.com/power/tumble...
