These items are largely just Warner Discovery office supplies.

If they didnโ€™t care enough about the fandom to continue the show โ€” as was their right โ€” I donโ€™t really think that same fandom should help them recoup in any way.

Or help some sketch third party who bought the items from a prop house.

Before you spend money on that auction, please know that those are only props and costumes. They hold no magic.

The coolest things are the things you made around the show.

Iโ€™m ambivalent about auctions around Our Flag that donโ€™t benefit an independent artist or larger cause.

Montreal Adds Nine More Car-Free Streets after โ€˜Mind Blowingโ€™ Success Four years after Montreal decided to make a 2.5-kilometre stretch of a busy downtown artery car-free every summer, the transformation continues to receive rave reviews from users and local businesses.

โ€œTo use a technical term, it blew my mind,โ€ said Vancouverโ€™s former chief planner Brent Toderianโ€ฆโ€They werenโ€™t lazy about itโ€”they didnโ€™t just throw up barriers and ban cars. It might be the best bargain Iโ€™ve ever heard,โ€ Toderian said. #Montreal

Itโ€™s not just what you take away. Itโ€™s what you add.

Colin Low was a pioneering filmmaker in Canada.
His work with the National Film Board influenced Stanley Kubrick, Norman Jewison and Ken Burns.
He revolutionized filmmaking and even paved the way for IMAX.
This is the story of the Gentleman Genius.

Trump thinks Canadians โ€˜nastyโ€™ for avoiding U.S. travel, banning booze: ambassador The United States ambassador to Canada says Canadians avoiding U.S. travel and banning American alcohol are among the reasons Donald Trump thinks they are โ€œnastyโ€ to deal with.

"Why do you make me do it?" says the abuser. U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra blames Canadians for Donald Trump's idiocy, and then he tells a little joke and they all have a good laugh.

They don't get it. MAGA America, we're not coming back.

Globe and Mail reporter targeted by online campaign, photographed surreptitiously in public settings An anonymous X account posted photos of Alberta reporter Carrie Tait and described her movements as she reported on a health authority controversy

Hi, yes, g'morning. This is awkward.

But targeting a reporter - hi! - with
surreptitiously obtained photos and details of her tooling around town is an attack on the public's right to know.

A Facebook post asks, โ€œHow is same-sex marriage viewed where you live?โ€ A top comment by Adnan Karavelic replies, โ€œIn Canada, we just call it marriage, and since itโ€™s not hockey, nobody really cares which team youโ€™re playing for ๐Ÿ˜Š.โ€ The background features a blue gradient with the text โ€œFOLLOW GAY & FABULOUSโ€ at the bottom. The comment humorously conveys Canadaโ€™s general acceptance of same-sex marriage.
