NEW: Massie tells CNN that there is significant pressure from the White House to BLOCK the release of the Epstein files.

There's a lot of online chatter today about Trump's demise. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/843cd3b...
So true!
This is alarming. And no doubt those ubiquitous sports betting ads on TV during NHL season are part of the problem. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Watched a gaggle of teenage boys swarming around the perfume display at Sephora yesterday. They were quite excitedly trying on different scents. Interesting. Curious to know if this is a new trend for teen boys - or if they were purchasing for a mom or gf.
Alright. After drilling down into my cable/internet bill, I think it's time to finally cut the cord. I'm paying 1000's of dollars a year and still find myself searching for something worth watching. Any advice from others who've ditched cable in Canada? What service are you using now?
It must be hard. I’m sad that Americans - and the media frankly - aren’t pushing back more fiercely.
😂
Exactly.

Hmm. I don't like the sounds of this. New medical research finds COVID appears to cause lasting damage that "ages" women's blood vessels by about 5 years. www.news.com.au/lifestyle/he...
Exactly.
I must have fall on the mind... just ordered some apple cider tea online. 🍁
People are way too litigious these days IMHO. I would be embarrassed to sue after this chopper pilot saved everyone's lives under extremely difficult circumstances. www.richmond-news.com/economy-law-...
Me too.
Wouldn’t it be fantastic if someone legitimately tried to find a better way forward?
A more civil time!
Vancouver businessman offers up an entirely sensible blueprint for change in the DTES. It's long past time for a new approach - because what's happening now isn't working for anyone. vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e...
Not an oyster fan myself - but if you are, a head's up about BC oysters harvested from Vancouver Island. 💩 vancouversun.com/feature/bc-o...
According to ESPN - Vancouver sports fans are the "most miserable" & Edmonton fans are the "least miserable" in Canada. As a former Edmontonian and life long Oilers fan now living in Vancouver - I believe this to be true. :) dailyhive.com/vancouver/es...

Excellent. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Seems like a deal.
Give Trump the Nobel he so covets, plus an Emmy, Oscar, Grammy, hell ANY trophy that will delight and distract him. This is a deliciously written article. :) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/18/o...

Seems to apply to all airlines these days. :)
I wonder why they signed a "crappy" deal for ten years in the first place? That's part of the problem. They didn't give themselves any room to up their ante for a full decade. A lot has happened in 10 years, including COVID. It's tough to get major pay hikes and concessions in one fell swoop.
It’s getting ugly. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This op-ed from NIH director Jay Bhattacharya is *infuriating*. He says we have to stop funding mRNA vaccine research because it hasn't "earned public trust." Motherfucker, WHO DID THAT.

Makes sense.
Sounds like someone's worried the courts are about to rule his extortionist tariffs are illegal.
Exactly.
Aside from paying more for less no doubt - it's not a bad idea to cut the size of restaurant meals....especially in the US where obesity has been a problem for decades. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/d...
Agree. No deal is better than long term economic extortion. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
No consensus on best way forward. Which is why we are stuck doing something that doesn’t really work.

More evidence that Vegas is cratering amidst the nonsensical Trump trade war that has international tourists avoiding the US. nypost.com/2025/07/28/b...
I gotta say - as a Vancouver taxpayer & someone who uses this bridge a lot - the expensive and lengthy "rehabilitation" project has been a major disappointment. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...
A canine tooth with a lens implanted in the eye restores a blind BC woman's sight. Incredible story! globalnews.ca/news/1131398...
Legit thought that was David Letterman at first glance.
It’s true. Vegas out priced itself as a quick & “affordable” warm weather getaway years ago. All the other nonsense happening now in the US is just making a bad situation worse. There are lots of other places to vacation that won’t break the bank or potentially land you in immigration detention.
I've been seeing posts about how Vegas is a ghost town right now. I suspect it's because many Canadians are taking a pass on Sin City with the tariff war ongoing. What I didn't know is that Canadians make up over half of international visitors to Vegas! cdcgaming.com/travel-to-la...
pedocon theory hits the mainstream; voters believe Trump was involved in the crimes allegedly committed by Epstein by a 14-point margin, 46-32
Honestly this just stinks to high heaven. I wouldn't trust a single word this woman has to say & if I were one of Epstein's victims, I would be enraged at the mere thought that she should get "rewarded" or pardoned for essentially giving Trump an out. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/u...
I hope they both had a wonderful time. :) people.com/katy-perry-j...
Good. Let’s work together finding solutions when it comes to the Trump attacks on Canada. Time to park the partisan politics. www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...

Super frustrating. When I was a consumer reporter, it was nearly impossible to get comment from the airlines - even in super egregious cases where they were dead to rights. WestJet was more responsive than AC at first, then over time not so much.
Good. What's with the MAGA crowd's obsession with the trans community anyway? Projection? Cruelty? Stoking hatred? www.newsweek.com/candace-owen...

Final comment on the Coldplay "cheating" story. I'm curious to know why the CEO was forced out - but not the head of HR? Surely she would know that engaging in a romantic relationship with the head of the company is against corporate policy? Another shoe to drop? www.nytimes.com/2025/07/21/o...
Then there should be automatic compensation equal to the value of the premium seat.
Come on. I would be pissed too if I paid for a premium (wider) seat only to discover the seat configuration didn't actually exist on my flight and I should be satisfied with a cheap glass of free sparkling wine. Um...nope. www.thestar.com/business/the...

My local coffee shop in Vancouver has jacked up the price of its proprietary beans twice in the past 6 months. Last jump was $2 a few weeks ago. Now a bag of my favourite blend costs $58. Yowza. Stupid tariffs. retail-insider.com/retail-insid...

So Mexico and the EU are threatened with lower tariffs than Canada? What's the "strategy" here? The end game? Is there one? What a nightmare to be a world leader or trade negotiator right now. To borrow a phrase, "It's like playing chess with a pigeon." www.thestar.com/news/world/u...
Amen.
