Five minutes of Global News and Iām already going insane. Kirk is still the top story IN CANADA for some fāin reason and then they had David Akin on doing the classic Canadian media thing of presenting analysis/opinion as news.

Five minutes of Global News and Iām already going insane. Kirk is still the top story IN CANADA for some fāin reason and then they had David Akin on doing the classic Canadian media thing of presenting analysis/opinion as news.
Did Poilievre actually make a Seinfeld reference when talking about the Liberals? Really going for the younger demographic there, I see, Pierre.
We're at a point now where a Fox News host can just casually suggests killing homeless people with a lethal injection on air and no one bats an eye but a MSNBC contributor gets fired for calling Charlie Kirk "divisive".
What if I donāt read any political analysis or read any politically relevant nonfiction or log into any social media for a whole week? Iāll check the news but thatās it.
I just replaced my ancient Chromecast with a Roku stick and it is SO MUCH BETTER
Itās not gonna be a major news network for long.
I canāt believe itās been an entire day and we still havenāt found out what Sydney Sweeney thinks about all this.
That killing should not be a top story in Canada.
Itās so odd how Haligonians expect free downtown parking when you have to pay to park downtown in every other city everywhere.
I canāt relate to your Ezra Klein criticism because I never listen to him. That clip of his that was going viral a few months ago was sent to me by multiple folks, and I never clicked on it.
Uh oh I just had two shots of espresso. Real espresso not the Sabrina Carpenter kind of espresso.
And do we really believe FBI Director Wiggum is going to find them
Good point. Thatās what I did last time. Whatās the consensus on Shark?
Donāt quote me on this but isnāt a lot of 0% alcohol made the same but then they remove the alcohol?
Second Dyson where the battery starts dying too fast when the thing is only two years old. Many people I know have issue with the battery
I am so done with Dyson vacuums and their crap batteries. What other brand should I get? FYI: I have a dog who sheds. Here he is staring at me like āI can shed all I want look how cute I am!ā
I can watch The Dick Van Dyke Show whenever I want!
Agreed itās awesome but why are they basically the same price as the ones with booze??
Am I actually going to open the op-ed section of an American (or Canadian because our media is equally moronic) news site today? Nah. Gonna watch some Bobās.
somewhere in the United States, the worst op-ed you can possibly imagine is being prepped for publication. And just a reminder: you can always go out and buy an Italian combo instead of reading it
Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirkās horrific murder for political point scoring, itās almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasnāt murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.
Thoughts and prayers.
Many, many Canadians also but they always use the āsecurity riskā argument when truth is I trust the Chinese Communist Party far more than I would trust Elon Musk (as our governments sign more deals with Starlink)
The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.
I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot
This fucking story is going to get more coverage than literal babies and children being shot at school.
I was only paying 6$ a month (indefinitely) for the Washington Post and I still cancelled it.
They said gay people were going to destroy civilization yet Peter Thiel is RIGHT THERE talking about the antichrist and theyāre totally fine with it.
Michael Kosta is hot. There I said it.
I really want to know the full story about that Hyundai SUV stuck between the buses
Good! I donāt understand why we canāt buy Chinese cars yet everything else we buy is made in China. www.ctvnews.ca/business/aut...
How did they decide what 80s songs would become part of the canon? I feel like I always hear the same ten songsā¦ yet I never hear No Parking On The Dancefloor by Midnight Star or Teenland by the Northern Pikes.
Right?? People are complaining about her VMA performance cause she didnāt show āenergyā. I mean, she sang Fantasy in the original key so do shut up.
There's been a whole spate of restrictive new internet legislation proposed and in some cases passed, purportedly to protect children, and somehow Meta continues doing stuff like this free of any meaningful consequences
So what if she just walked around the stage? She is Mariah Carey and she aināt gotta prove shit to you.
Wait. So Miracle Whip is just mayonnaise with sugar???
Sabrina Carpenter is pop starring like no pop star has pop starred in years. youtu.be/tFNHKB_qoDc?...
I hear a version of this story a lot. The job market and salaries and costs in Canada suck. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...
Sam: what are you up to, Norm? Norm: my ideal weight if I was eleven feet tall Itās amazing how well Cheers hold up.
Just let us buy Chinese cars. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...
We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.
āwtf Tim Cook! Iām switching away from Apple!!ā Yeah, except Google and Microsoft were there too so where ya gonna go.
Ha!
Give the guy a break! Heās just following orders. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/03/o...
Rhode launches at Sephora Canada today, the same day that Bieber announces a surprise second album. That couple is smart.
"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." ā Michael Okuda How quick we forget.
Everyday these leftie hipster meme accounts tell me about some damn conservative influencer or YouTuber I donāt need to know about.
For years I always thought Slick Rick was putting on his Bally shoes and fly green tux.
I saw someone earnestly say they didnāt understand why a gay politician would be closeted āin this day and ageāā¦ do people not realize that due to the continued and arguably resurgent existence of homophobia some people never even come out to themselves.
I guess heās too far in to back out of this ridiculous strategy even though it will destroy him. But donors have demands. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...
K-Pop has been kicking American popās ass for YEARS. Blackpink and BTS are bigger than any American girl or boy band ever was. So, whatās with the surprise at the massive success of K-Pop Demon Hunters??
That is too far away to think about
First, he wastes all that money on highways and such but now heās WASTING WHISKY???? This time Ford has gone too far!!
Considering the prices, it would be great if Banana Republic had consistent sizing.
So much more!
It would be great to know the rest of this story. Why couldnāt they get permanent residency? Why did they always use the 90 day grace period instead of dealing with it before? Their kids are citizens soā¦ what happened at the border? www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...
I was once asked me why Tate McRae has not achieved the same pop diva status as Sabrina Carpenter: One released a single and the video is an homage to the Rocky Horror Picture Show starring Colman Domingo. The other one released a single with a racist.
Today, I watched the episode of The Muppet Show with Christopher Reeve where Miss Piggy spent the whole time hitting on and sexually harassing him right in front of Kermit. Christopher Reeve was undeniably hot but poor Kermit!
Of course Hollywood movies are crashing: Lilo & Stich was the only movie to surpass a billion dollars and a movie called K-Pop Demon Hunters is the biggest phenomenon in years and theyāre still pushing basic actors like Sydney Sweeney and Austin Butler on us.
āThis isnāt Ottawaā. Well, it happened there so yes it is. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
āI canāt wait until 2028 when we vote him out!ā Yeah. And Taylor Swift is going to have a pro-Palestine song with Billie Eilish on her new album.
So, thereās no legitimate source that says Stephen Colbert signed a Netflix deal (plus based on David Letterman and Jon Stewart, wouldnāt an Apple TV deal make more sense?)
When he dies it wonāt change as much as you think. Theyāve been planning this since The New Deal. Trump is just a puppet that was controlled with flattery, and the Vice President is even more easily controlled because he thinks heās an intellectual but lacks critical thinking skills.
Heās alive. Has anyone thought that maybe heās just a lazy ass puppet and now that Project 2025 is in full swing he isnāt as necessary.
IKEA is gonna sell so many chairs this weekends.
Tears?? A Sabrina Carpenter heartbreak song?? *listens to song* Ohā¦. Okay yes that makes more sense. (I love her)
Omg Ariana Grande is going to Montreal but not Toronto
Before we have a serious discussion about this in Canada, letās wait to see this fail in Australia first www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/art...
The news is like āwill Taylor Swift sing over music on her new album? Our panel of experts speculate.ā
The media is obsessed with Madonnaās age, even though she just went on a world tour and is recording a new album, while the damned president can barely string together a coherent sentence.
The Penhorn GoodLife might be the bro-iest gym in all of HRM.
Sabrina Carpenterās album comes out this Friday so Iām expecting Taylor Swift to surprise drop a single (or even the whole album) cause sheās a mean girl like that.
Now thereās Oakley Meta AI glasses. I hated my Apple Watch so Iām sure I would hate these. What psychopath would want to be connected ALL the time??
Working the late shift all of September. Lucky thing I have no social life!
Duh. open.substack.com/pub/jemartis...
I just signed up for it from her website but Iām certain I was already subscribed! I used to get those newsletters
Is it me or has that food prof guy disappeared?
Thatās good but a newsletter or something would be good just to stay informed. I bet half of District 4 couldnāt even name their councillor.
I live in District 4 and I didnāt know this was happening. I canāt remember the last time I even got an email from her.
Who are these jerks that gave me ONE STAR??? I will hunt them down.
What is wrong with this damn city!? Close the MacKay Bridge for āemergency repairsā okay, fine (even though you should have been planning for another bridge since the 90s instead of just starting the feasibility study now) but then they also close Brunswick Street!
Jon Ossoff has clearly been studying Barack Obamaās oratorical style and damn heās gotten good at giving speeches.
The people clapping their hands and giggling at the jingling Gavin Newsom meme keys will never allow themselves to understand that the Harris campaign lost all on its own by agreeing with Trump that immigration was a serious problem that needed to be solved with stern faces and barbed wire
In classic fashion, they are dictating the online discourse and you know it but you still fall for it.
It might be BlueSky but youāre all falling into the same olā traps that you did on X.
Imagine being such a hateful monster that you have a problem with David Corenswet.
Has anyone found a clear protein powder that actually tastes good? They all seem to have a weird chemical-like aftertaste.
And in case anyone thinks Iām being mean, today (alongside his regular vet prescribed food) he has been provided a freshly scrambled egg, turmeric & ginger flavoured pumpkin puree, and diced chicken breast but he wanted the fancy canned food he had yesterday.
My dog has been on a hunger strike all day because he didnāt get the food he wanted and now, at almost 11pm, he has given up and is eating his food.
Yeah but are they just going to call it an isolated incident and not realize this is a systemic issue? www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...
This is going to backfire so hard. Like some kid isnāt going to make an underground social network (if they havenāt already) www.wired.com/story/kids-s...
Gotta get those rural votes!
Itās all a mess. A few years ago, Banook was barely open during the summer, but they just keep building while only doing a cursory scan of the environmental impact.
Oh, I know! Theyāre awful and no one talks about it (except Sam Austin). From what I understand, Lake Banook has improved but Penhorn is getting worse as are many of the other lakes, they arenāt as āeconomically importantā as Banook.
Thereās a councillor Billy Gillis? Sounds fake.
?
The Carney governmentās commitment to a national program is in question after the Liberals promised to āprotectā pharmacare during the 2025 campaign. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...
