It's a terrific episode, and not just I'm in it. The producers did a fantastic job.

Thank you, Matt! This was such an important show, and mad props to George Iny at the APA for leading the charge. If you're heading to a dealership, watch this show!

This is cool.

Want me to explain how the North American auto industry is like that time my father bought a turkey that wouldn't fit in the oven? Sure you do. We build 1.3M; we buy 1.9M. Why the math doesn't math. driving.ca/column/lorra...

My cat has been missing for over 6 weeks. Discovered someone had ripped down her 'Missing' flyers in my neighbourhood. It wasn't the city. Please don't rip down someone's missing pet flyers. I put them back up. But please don't do that.

My Dad died 29 years ago. Today. Right around this time. I miss you, Pop. I'll keep you alive in the words. Promise.

So this Mellon dude wrote the check to pay the military for the country that was formerly a democracy. If he writes the cheque for the monstrosity of a ballroom being erected at the White House, does that make it the...The Mellon Ball?

The most powerful man in the world is reading from Coles Notes like that guy I sat beside in grade 10 who hadn't read the book. At least that guy had a cool jean jacket and in one year would be the proud owner of a Trans Am. We're doomed.

Are we still doing ethical and legal questions? Asking for a neighbour.

Press release next week: "New wing of the Pentagon to be called Musk's Tusks. Or Gates Gates. Or Bezos Brigadoon. Or the Oracle Miracle.

It's rare for a column of mine to stay on the hot list a day beyond its publish date. This is Monday's column. On a Thursday night, riding at number 2. Maybe I'm right about the future of the Canadian auto manufacturing industry? driving.ca/column/lorra...

Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts. #NoKings

Motherlode today. Mail all day from people sharing stories. Winner so far? NINE kids, one bathroom.

Linked In proposes I follow Bari Weiss thank you no

Come on now. The RCMP is far busier covering up for Doug Ford.

So the wrong Kiss guy died.

Re Carney and cutting deals with the U.S.: Be wary of headlines positioning the entire Canadian auto industry as being represented by CVMA - Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association. Strong lobby, but they only represent Stellantis/GM/Ford. 1/2

I set up a GoFundMe (www.gofundme.com/f/sweet-pea-...) for the woman who has been here every night for three weeks with cameras/cages/supplies. A volunteer rescuer, pays for all her own gear. I forwarded her the first $580 and she transferred it immediately to a cat rescue operation. Amazing.

My Sweet Pea has been missing for nearly 3 weeks. South central Burlington. Please keep an eye out for me. www.thespec.com/life/relatio...

I blocked an asshole. My cat is still missing and I don't have the bandwidth to argue with uniformed - but very certain - morons.

As Ford endorses vandalism, the city twists ever tighter and it's costing us billions. driving.ca/column/lorra...

Me: "This is that EDM crap, isn't it?" BF: "Yeah." Me: "This is music to murder by." BF: "I don't think we should kill anyone." Me: "No, I mean if you were a serial killer, this is the music that is playing in your head while you are doing the murdering." BF: BF: BF:

If you're away and your teenage kids are home having a party (they are) call them and tell them to turn down the damned music. Thank you.

Anyone want to tag Canadian authors? I'll start with two I know of off the top of my head: @ziyatong.bsky.social @lorrainesommerfeld.bsky.social

We saw Pea in our yard late last night. She bolted again, but at least we know she's close!

My Sweet Pea is missing. She bolted out a door last night. If you know me, you know where I live. If you see her, please let me know. She's a timid indoor cat, and I am so scared for her. Thank you.

"The reality was more complicated." Really? That sentence is more complicated than how this played out. The only reason they got the guy is because his family handed him over. Stop hanging earrings on this, NYT.

Is Vance really one stroke closer to moving up the leader board?

ICE raiding the Hyundai plant is just *chef's kiss* on this whole administration that is being run like toddlers racing bumper cars.

So, Americans, are you really gonna accept the Secret Agent Man story?

Dear Canada: your political "dynasty" families are not working out terribly well. Let's not start yet another one, right? #nomoretorys #nomorefords #nomoretrudeaus #nomoremulroneys

This might be the most disturbing thing I've ever heard.

Brendan Sweeney (quoted in my Driving.ca column today) at Trillium did an even deeper dive on the canola vs car thing, and the numbers being lobbed around by the canola industry in the headlines are even more misleading than we thought. trilliummfg.ca/data-bulleti...

Is it really canola OR cars for Canada? In the wake of the Chinese tariffs, Canadians face off in familiar quarters: Ontario vs the West. driving.ca/column/lorra...

The only way I thought Rudy Giuliani could be hurt in a car crash was if he was in a hearse.

BF: "Did you know you leave the bathroom light on at night when you go up?" Me: "Yes. So you don't trip on the stairs but also so you don't have to turn on the hall light." BF: "Oh, cool. Just checking." Me: "It's love, not dementia."

Go walk in a cemetery. It'll do you good. www.thespec.com/life/hamilto...

And some days, you just wonder how it could get worse.

Getting a divorce is a pain in the ass, but really, my dude?

Toronto congestion is among the worst in the world. Here's why it's doomed to stay that way. driving.ca/column/lorra...

“Safety strategies aren’t that hard: Slow drivers down, and separate vulnerable road users and drivers by time and space. What makes actually implementing these strategies so challenging is our unwillingness to decrease motorist throughput or inconvenience drivers in the name of saving lives.”

All those EU leaders coming to the White House with Zelensky reminded me of when a motorcycle gang goes to court to protect little kids who have to testify against their abusers.

A convicted felon rolling out the red carpet for a dictator wanted on international war charges is criminaling at its finest.

"Wide-ranging" = we're talking to an addled toddler who found the gummies.

What a fucking headline.

"Ill-considered". Is there no reasonable news outlet left that will use real words? Fascism has rolled into town and you have all rolled out the red carpet and ordered the after dinner mints.

So, unless Canada ramps up its fentanyl exports to the U.S., we have fewer bargaining chips? Have I got this right? #DontCaveCarney

Nobody in Japan is gonna buy your cars, Donald. That would be like asking Julia Child to make you a Big Mac. Gift article from The New York Times. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/b...
