I meant the guy in dark clothes standing and filming near the white van. Looks like he was lucky to not have been hit.

Be the guy that runs to help. Not the guy that stands there and films it.

"Health and Human Services Secretary Kennedy led the government’s attempt to save a flock of ostriches from being slaughtered up in Canada." No mention of avian flu nor any of the issues around why those ostriches were so controversial.

If you’re a Canadian who doesn’t care about hockey, tomorrow morning will probably be the best time ever to do your grocery shopping, hit Costco or go to IKEA.

I'm looking for some quick feedback on Season 2 of #ThePitt. What do you like? How realistic is the medicine? What are your takes on the characters? All impressions welcome. ER healthcare providers' feedback especially welcome.

Elon Musk posted about race almost every day in January Many social media posts by Tesla CEO on his platform are indiscernible from those of white supremacists, say experts

"Musk’s posts included him repeatedly claiming white people face systemic discrimination, endorsing the conspiracy that there is an ongoing genocide against white people in countries around the world ..."

16 million Canadians watch opening ceremony Sixteen million Canadians watched at least part of Friday's broadcast of the opening ceremony, making it the most-watched winter opening ceremony since Sochi in 2014, CBC said.

NBCUniversal drew ~21.4M viewers for the Milano–Cortina opening ceremony vs. ~16M on CBC/Radio-Canada. Adjusted for population, it was about 6Γ— more watched in Canada than the U.S. A real tale of two countriesβ€”and how they engage with the world. www.thestar.com/rolling-file... #MilanoCortina2026

Poilievre just told #CP26 "There's never been a referendum crisis or a national unity crisis when Conservatives have been in power It's an interesting coincidence isn't it" False. BQ was the product of Mulroney's time in office. Borden - WWI conscription crisis. Sir John - Louis Riel. C'mon man.

I enjoy this mostly for the impression it might leave with international audiences that Bonhomme is Canada's governor general.

906 days.

That's how long Meta's been blocking news in Canada.

Doesn't matter if the outlet is based in Canada, the U.S. or Germany – we can't read it. Small non-profit or legacy newspaper. Can't read it. Posts made before Aug. 1, 2023? Nope. But disinformation, AI-generated spam, that'll pass.

We're talking about this with @jeetheer.bsky.social on CBC Radio's Day 6 tomorrow. Steve Bannon has compared Canada to Ukraine, and talk is more prominent of using a potential Alberta referendum as a reason to try to take Canada.
