Commercials in Canada these days:

They said my artisanal hand-carved semiconductor business would never be viable but who’s laughing now?

A reminder that women’s sports are kept separate from men’s not to protect women from always losing to men, but rather to ensure that no man ever loses to a woman.
I’m not making this up; that’s literally the reason.

The most Canadian YouTube video I’ve ever seen.

Really well done, and worth a watch at the very least.
