YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert "There's Nothing I Enjoy More Than Acting In The Theater" - Ian McKellen EXTENDED INTERVIEW

I’m having a hard time thinking of an interview between two human beings I enjoyed more than tonight’s interview of the great Ian McKellen by the great Stephen Colbert. Every moment of it was a pleasure that I highly recommend… but then came the most REMARKABLE ending that you really HAVE to watch.

Katharine, your positivity helps us get through the day. Kevin, great example of the American education system.

Sky's the limit for 'second life' green battery pioneer — and RCAF flyboy — Edward Chiang The Moment Energy CEO has raised over $75 million in the last year to finance the start-up’s ‘upcycled’ clean energy storage concept — and with new contracts streaming in for everyone from Big Agri to...

The inclusion of Kyle Rittenhouse in this @deadder.bsky.social cartoon really brings home the deep hypocrisy

Agree that there will come a day when Canadians (not the cowering politicians) will say to Trump, "enough is enough".

Ontario’s promise to people with disabilities left unfulfilled after more than 20 years Sweeping 2005 legislation, supposed to make the province accessible by 2025, is being called a failure

More than 20 years ago, MPPs across all parties pledged to make Ontario completely accessible to people with disabilities by 2025. With that date past, advocates say the process has been a failure, by @jeffreybgray.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... via @theglobeandmail.com

I switched to Bluesky a year ago and wish others would too. It's a challenge as a journalist when politicians only use the X platform to send out their messages. But, I won't go back.

Canadian government officials, what are you still doing on X in 2026? The platform's own chatbot started posting sexualized material of children and other people who couldn't consent. With no moral bottom in sight, it's well past time our officials found other ways to c...

This is far from the first time X's chatbot, Grok, has done something revolting, and it is guaranteed not to be the last. Why are government officials still using it? www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/02/o...

Devastating for Gazans. Also has a chilling effect on donations to these NGO agencies. Why?

We can only hope that Max is right. Still, it feels like skating on thin ice. What will Smith do when she realizes the end game?

#boycott2026G20 in Miami. If the US won't allow South Africa, a G20 country, to attend, then the US should not be considered a leader of anything.

Had an Instagram account for years. Too busy/lazy to post much. I'm a writer not a photographer for goodness sake. Decided to post a few pictures with comments on some events. Next thing I know, Meta informs me that due to Canadian regulations, Instagram will not post 'news content' in Canada. Damn.

Ontario electricity supply costs jump 29 per cent as nuclear spending rises Ontario’s electricity rates will jump 29 per cent starting Nov. 1, driven largely by the higher spending for nuclear power and a shortfall in last year’s budget, the Ontario Energy Board says.

Love TVO. I'll watch this with great interest.

Standing outside the gates of the Qu'Appelle Indian residential school.This a haunted dark place. A 5-year-old taken through these gates had a lower chance of survival than a Canadian soldier fighting in WW2.

How can we get copies of this? I want to read and share the same ideas with my Counil.

Today is world news day! Just sayin'

I met him a few times. He was a super nice guy and one of the best for the environment.

This should be shared widely. How insane the car culture is!

'Town killer': Ontario residents fight Ford’s fast-track landfill project When Ashley Khouathip left Toronto five years ago, she was looking for clean air for her five children, affordable housing and a slower pace of life. She wanted a place where kids could bike and fish ...

It's the first landfill proposal in the province selected for fast-tracking under Premier Doug Ford's newly enacted Bill 5 — which makes the project immune to many of the checks and balances it would otherwise face.  www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/26/n...

Replaying the Trudeau-era strategy of influencing policy by lobbying high-level officials isn't working for climate groups who are now pivoting to an outsider game in an attempt to find leverage in the age of Carney. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/23/a...

Three days after the UN inquiry declares "genocide" in Gaza the Carney government says they are still waiting for "all the evidence" before taking a stand.
What an epic moral failure.

Instead of recognizing Israel’s genocide in Gaza & upholding its commitment to the International Humanitarian Law & Genocide Convention, Canada banned artists who speak the truth to the power & labeled them as “supporting terrorist organizations”.
Instead of sanctioning the actual terrorists.
Shame
