Family Channel is going dark.
They sang the anthem at today's Stampeders-Elks game. Then Premier Smith came out to give a rebuttal.
Yes, I'm afraid you are dating yourself.

Republicans clearly misunderstand that bit where Jesus said: "Suffer the little children..."
How about this: The Nobel Peace Prize in exchange for fucking off forever. It would be well-earned.
Wow, the #Jays just invented a whole new kind of bullpen problem.
Judge Sooknanan: As I said at the start of this hearing, I got a call at 2:36 am [last night] because the government chose the wee hours of the morning on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend to execute a plan to move these children. That's why we're here.
Also surgery and commercial aviation.
You're right, Donald. And it's coming for all of us, eventually.
We are inspired by Charles Manson, one of the world's foremost experts on team building and people management...

I’m not sharing this to scare people—though it’s fucking terrifying. I’m sharing it because we all need to be on guard. We won’t be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful. RFK Jr. has no medical training, no scientific background…

RFK Jr. is like a walking John Woo movie--a psychopath who stole a hero's face to wreak havoc and destruction.
A months-long investigation estimates that the profits from the Trump family's ventures in private clubs, hotels, golf courses, crypto currencies, NFTs, and other businesses has raised Trump’s net worth by billions of dollars.
"These mitochondrial challenges, Mr. Kennedy--are they in the room with us now?"

Also, segregated lunch counters are back!
Getting proof that every Republican warning about tyranny was a pack of hypocritical lies is not as much fun as I expected.
We are getting very, very close to "Boar on the Floor."
Today is my birthday. But fine, Taylor, go ahead and walk all over it.
Their dads were often named "Fred."
Remember, this doesn't count as socialism, because all the money goes to Trump.
HE will decide who Taylor Swift can marry!
Too bad he deported Don Quixote for speaking Spanish.
They say everything Trump touches dies. And here you can see where the rot begins:
"The IDF does not intentionally target civilians," says IDF spokesman Effie Defrin. Wow, they must be totally incompetent fuck-ups. How do they keep from blowing their own heads off?
This is when the touch screen becomes the punch screen.
Once upon a time the word "Nazi"simply described a member of the Nazi Party. In future, what will the word "Republican" mean?
Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."

Sometime in the mid-20th century the most common definition of the word "gay" changed. In the decades to come, what will happen with the word "trump?"
Almost in the same spot Roy the Rooster was! Good thing they never met.

"My caddy cheats at golf, he's a terrible person. I know nothing about it."
Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.
Tired: Elbows up! Wired: Five-hole open!
He regrets freeing the slaves, though.
Does Mayor Ken Sim want to heat Kits Pool with crypto? Would you pay to see 1000 monkeys smoking cigars? Dr. Steve asks the big questions, via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...
Looking forward to the new Smithsonian exhibition, "The History of Cowardice."
Seeing crow parents with one of their offspring is like seeing parents on a plane with a wailing baby. You have to feel for them--those crow kids are WHINY.
With the recent discovery of radioactive wasps, we are a radioactive bat away from a Justice League reboot.
Trump attempts to distract attention from the Epstein files by... ummm... fanboying slavery.
The implication of possible sudden death... the false promise of squid... perhaps I don't understand marketing.
Honestly, I think most of us would be OK with that if we could just agree on a specific date. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/u...
DOJ investigating whether DC police willfully and knowingly enforced the law, just to make Trump look bad.
"Societal norms" include allowing the President to commit sexual assault.

I met Terence Stamp once in a Vancouver cafe. Told him my favourite of his movies was "The Hit." He said, "You've obviously got great taste." I was of course thrilled. RIP. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/17/m...
If the carpet hadn't been red before Putin walked on it, it would have been red afterward.
Putin says he wants to get at the "root causes" of the war. And that's how we learned there are no mirrors in the Kremlin.

Eventually, Trump's caddy will just quietly drop a Nobel Peace Prize on his end table.
I joined @thetyee.ca 4 weeks ago. "What are you going to be doing?" I was asked. This week, I published stories about Fraser Health (thetyee.ca/News/2025/08...), Lytton fires (thetyee.ca/News/2025/08...) Hope council (thetyee.ca/News/2025/08...) And prison mice (thetyee.ca/News/2025/08...)

Celebrity restaurant idea: Serving only food that has been angrily thrown by Gordon Ramsey.
For example, Trump told Canadians "Don't travel to the US and spend money here anymore." Being polite, we have complied.

Poilievre says "I love the people of Battle River-Crowfoot." Hey, Dr. Steve asks, did he just endorse Bonnie Critchley? via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...
"They got rid of the numbers guy cuz they wanted their own numbers... and they wanted to invade Greenland... they're wandering around on the roof like a crazy person, it's terrible..."
Spelling “Poilievre” is no picnic. But it could be worse — Alberta voters could be required to pronounce it correctly. @steveburgess53.bsky.social writes. #canpoli #abpoli
Hereafter, any Trump Republican who uses the word "tyranny" will immediately be extradited to Turkmenistan to work as an unpaid footstool in the President for Life's holiday yurt.
#Vancouver finally heats up.
Pack up your shit, Grok. You're fired.
