Important note for the hordes of young conservative men: ““Old” in this usage means “out of date,” “out of touch,” or “stuck in some misunderstanding of what 1960 was actually like for most people,” so it still applies to you, although you are not chronologically old.”

“Those hit hardest by tariffs are small businesses, which make up 97 % of U.S. importers. In September, they shed 40,000 jobs. These businesses have a harder time navigating erratic policy shifts.”

You guys why give the American Stasi an opportunity to come after you by blocking them? Bluesky doesn’t let accounts see who’s blocking them but a third party says that’s no problem: “With [product] you can instantly find out who blocked you on Bluesky.”

Two contradictory-sounding takes that can both be true: 1/ In a geopolitical dog race, Canada bet everything on the aging, weakening dog — and for good reasons: Similar values to 🇺🇸, similar culture, shared geography. And then got bitten by the dog. So is now understandably hedging its bets. 🇨🇳

The airline said select flights that were recently reconfigured with the new seating arrangement will be changed again to remove the extra row of seats. globalnews.ca/news/1161657...

the only good thing about this part of the horrible shooting story is that it may turn out to be a gut shot for the carcass of @cbsnews.com and that's great. and unlike the ICE goon CBS has real internal bleeding.

Jesus Christ CBS is Veep but for media

Man, this weather, I don’t know. Somewhere in south Vancouver.

Toronto Star: Carney government in talks with China about EV tariffs "Canadian negotiators are in 'active discussions' about lowering or dropping tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles in exchange for easing punitive Chinese counter-tariffs on canola and seafood."

Straight up fraud but the RCMP has a history of little to no action or success in going after fraudsters.

Rainy-day mood in #Vancouver.

a few years ago there was a Cars and Guitars exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum, Bob Weir's car was a black '65 Corvette with slotted mags. it was filthy, covered in barn dust and cat footprints, he said it could only be displayed if it wasn't washed coolest car in the entire museum RIP

P.S. It's a good idea to weigh your cats monthly if you can! Weight fluctuations are often an early indicator that something is wrong. Weekly is probably overkill but mine both have FIV so I am always fretting and want to pick up on any trends super early. animalwellnessmagazine.com/why-you-shou...

Hi hello, the Toronto Sun's email is [email protected] in case you'd like to inquire as to how they feel about their Ottawa Bureau Chief making these kinds of statements about innocent women being shot by militarized thugs in the street! Let's make his weekend extra fun :)

In a now-deleted tweet, the Toronto Sun's Ottawa bureau chief, Bryan Passifiume, incites violence against the left while preparing for a LAN party in his mom's basement.

Hurry up, Saturday! (our usual listening appointment)

Finally, there was a time not long ago when conservatives railed against the Fed engaging in quantitative easing (QE) by buying MBS. Somehow I doubt they'll object to the President announcing his own QE program using questionable legal authority through the GSEs. It's all very strange. /end

Elon Musk ran an unofficial government agency and sat at the right hand of the President as he waged the broadest attack on civil rights in a century and is openly agreeing with and boosting white supremacists. Yet he earned a $1 trillion pay package and news coverage that rarely mentions this.

It’s been a tough flu season in Ontario. The good news is that it likely peaked and is now starting to ease, though we can expect several more weeks of widespread flu activity.

should probably be a bigger deal that the vice president's favorite intellectual is a dull nazi bsky.app/profile/leah...

“Electric vehicles accounted for 30% of (Hyundai’s) total sales in 2025. Hyundai’s EV sales rose 7% from 2024, while hybrid sales were up 36%.”

Mark Kelly blasts Hegseth attempting to lower his military rank and pension. Saying "If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it."

Oh this is interesting: Prime Minister Mark Carney just had a call with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado

Never has a President wagged a dog harder than Trump and MAGA now. To distract from Epstein, the explosion of health and homeowners insurance costs, and the tariffs that are decimating small businesses, Trump is plunging this country into a war and using our soldiers as pawns.

Tony Soprano has captured Tony Soprano. I’m sure everything will be fine and no further liberties will be taken.

Maduro Requests Lindsay Halligan to Prosecute Him

For over two thousand years Christians have been warning us about the antichrist. When he finally shows up, they vote him into office. Twice. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Convinced that the older you get the more you can see the future. You’ve learned patterns, human behaviour, and you’ve seen it all before. This power provides no solace.

Chevy Chase "was not aware" of his reputation, says Marina Zenovich, director of CNN's documentary, "I'm Chevy Chase and You're Not.”

Comical, @wsj.com.

This is how I learned I’m a better fit for finance culture and tech culture. You only succeed in tech culture by fully embracing the Current Thing and being all-in on it: danwang.co/2025-letter/

Nice left hook here after a right jab. “…said University of Washington data analyst John Cox from the comfort of his bed.” Unfortunately ran out of energy to finish the piece but it’s probably good.

Canadians 🇨🇦, fight the boiling of our nation by foreigners! @paulisci.bsky.social

National Post, in case it wasn’t obvious. Commentary blames Conservative election loss on Trudeau departure and Trump, not voter aversion to Poilievre. Uses Conservative Party popularity numbers, mentions Carney’s “low 40s” rating, leaves out Poilievre’s much lower rating.

1969. CBS pulled the final Smothers Brothers episode featuring David Steinberg, but it aired without controversy on CTV in Canada. Tommy Smothers flew to Toronto and invited the media to watch it on CTV in his Yorkville hotel room. Read all about it in my new book, to be released in Nov 2026.

“Surely, we have emergency brakes to stop these kinds of things. Someone will intervene. I would look into who that is supposed to be exactly, but this glockenspiel isn’t going to tune itself.”
