‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

Only seeing this via social media. Major news does not seem to find it significant. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

When was the last time I was able to read a political story and be pleasantly surprised?

D'Angelo was likely my favourite music artist of the last two decades. What a loss.

Good to see the Bazos-led Washington Post reflecting the anxieties of a country in turmoil.

Daniel Lanois should be on a Canadian stamp. Great show in Calgary last night.

Blue Jays’ ALDS series pulled in average audience of 3.7 million viewers, Sportsnet says Numbers suggest Sportsnet is out-drawing some American networks airing MLB playoff games

Amazing numbers here for Rogers. Live sports is still king. Does anyone know if these ratings include those watching on the Sportsnet app? www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/baseb...

At a time when local journalism is in dire circumstances pretty much worldwide, the efforts of Jeremy and the Sprawl in Calgary during this municipal election demonstrate the necessity of good local news.

Why does everyone keep saying this is the Blue Jays first postseason series win since 2016, like that was a long time ago? That was yesterday in Leafs years.

Wishing our colleagues in the south strength and unity. Horrible precedent for other countries watching.

Did about 15 seconds on Global National News tonight about Kimmel's return. That was long enough to generate a nasty email response. Hate to think what journalists, particularly women, go through on a daily basis.

Doug Ford will outlaw municipal speed cameras this fall: sources Sources say Ford's Progressive Conservatives will table legislation later this fall to outlaw the "automated speed enforcement" devices.

Why is this a conservative issue? I want four way stops at every intersection in my neighbourhood, slower speed limits and speed bumps. And yes, I drive. www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

Liked Kimmel's line that the current threat to press in America is a bigger deal than what happened to him.

A really necessary piece. It is a challenge to keep up to speed on changes happening at such a rapid pace (part of the strategy) but these scholars shine much needed critical light on media ownership upheavals of recent weeks.

The trope of ‘liberal media’ is finally dead | CNN Business The trope of “liberal media” is finally dead

Two problems: the word "finally" in the headline, and the seeming inability of the U.S. to realize most of the world has a publicly funded media alternative. www.cnn.com/2025/09/20/b...

One half of Conservative supporters are pretty much their own island in Canada right now.

Alberta schools are overcrowded as province struggles to keep up with population growth Frustrated parents are concerned about a lack of infrastructure needed to accommodate the number of people moving to the province

There's a surprise: "Alberta Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides says federal immigration policies are partly to blame". www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

America, you get more frightening every day.

One of the first movies I remember seeing was Robert Redford in The Great Waldo Pepper at the Gayety Theatre in Collingwood, Ontario. I was 7. I guess not one of his more notable outings, as I haven't seen it mentioned in any tributes today. My 7 year old self gave it a rave review.

An important article if you've got kids in Calgary public schools. Exhibit A for why we need local journalism.

Among those sued by Trump today: U of Calgary alumni and Pulitzer Prize winner Susanne Craig. In somewhat normal times, it would be easy to dismiss the premise of the suit. Now?

I have just done a quick analysis of what the US media landscape would look like should Paramount SD's bid to takeover Warner Bros. Discovery go ahead. Paramount SD's market share would sore from ~10% of the $223B market to 26%. 1/

Janice Paskey: 1962-2025 Janice Paskey, a beloved Mount Royal University professor and a remarkable activist whose passion for issues such as climate change spread to the students she taught, died on August 9, 2025 at age …

Janice was also the type of person you want living in your community. She took the time to keep an eye on the workings of city hall in a way that few other neighbours do. She will be missed in our corner of the city. calgaryjournal.ca/2025/09/09/j...

How are Clarence Thomas and Alito still allowed on the bench? Hard to understand anything in America right now.

RIP Rick Davies. I was never in the anti-Supertramp camp (I loved the movie High Fidelity but don't think it helped their legacy). Give me them over Foreigner or Journey any day. I don't think they ever went out of fashion in Montreal.

From another west end Toronto boy who loves Montreal.

As I Toronto kid growing up in the 70s, I had to dislike the Montreal Canadiens because, and we all knew this though we would not say it aloud, they were far superior to the Leafs in just about every way.
And of course, they had the best writer on their team too. RIP Ken Dryden. Thanks.

When the Trump house of cards eventually crumbles, will the half of the country who can't stand the regime forgive and forget the companies and institutions who fell in line? I suspect they will but they shouldn't.

If true, a huge loss to Canadian media.
