If you think cyclists or โ€œzombieโ€ phone staring pedestrians are distracted you do not want to see what drivers have been up to in their cars the last century.

Samsung makes ads on $3,499 smart fridges official with upcoming software update Update introduces two ways for the fridges to show ads.

And this pretty much guarantees I wonโ€™t ever buy any smart appliances. This one might be Samsung but as the article states, this is becoming more and more common in smart home products in general.

Canadaโ€™s boycott America movement is hurting innocent bystanders | CNN Business Virginia Distillery CEO Gareth Moore was bullish on his companyโ€™s American single malt whisky sales north of the border when 2025 kicked off.

Oh really? Maybe your government could try not tariffing us, threatening our sovereignty, and get that orange, racist, wanna-be-dictator out.

Until then, it doesnโ€™t matter how good it tastesโ€ฆ. we donโ€™t want your whiskey.

You know how playgrounds often have sub-playgrounds for smaller kids and for bigger kids? What if they also had outdoor playgrounds for teens and adults, with bigger climbing structures and spinning contraptions and everything

Stickers found in Penticton public park calling for deportations and claiming 'war on whites' - Penticton News A Penticton woman was shocked to see stickers in a public park promoting a pro-white movement.

Many many thanks to this person for doing the right thing when they found this and taking that vile shit down. Racism has no place in this society!

7/ And this is, fundamentally, a far-right movement. These are the conspiracies & bad science of the Freedom Convoy. While UOF claims CFIA isnโ€™t testing properly to gain public sympathy, UOFโ€™s Katie Pasitney states that PCR testing is fake.

I guess when the time comes for me to adopt a new cat, it will NOT be from the Okanagan Humane Society. They made their stance clear on Facebook, and I prefer when agencies I adopt from believe in science.

Troublesome teens go too far in Kelowna restaurant - Kelowna News โ€œThey sit outside smoking, drinking, using offensive language, throwing bottles inside, and have even stolen items, like chips.โ€

Iโ€™m usually more well-spoken than this, but Iโ€™m fed up with this kind of bullshit. And more fed up with the RCMP response. Itโ€™s been getting worse and worse for a few years now with the same groupโ€ฆ.obviously the โ€œrestorative justice systemโ€ isnโ€™t working.

Global News laid off 26 journalists in B.C. and Alberta today.

In B.C. the layoffs include virtually all of the online team, along with many others.

The business is increasingly cruel, and the hollowing out of newsrooms providing fair and reliable information continues to suck.
