I usually feel sad when a Canadian celebrity rises through the ranks and makes it to American media and almost “forgets” their roots…

But in a case like Kevin O’Leary more than happy to see him flock over there. They can keep him!

It’s 2026, I feel like as a society we’ve progressed past these fake mailbox inserts.

No Dave. I do not want to sell you my house to flip.

OPINION | Canadian TV needs to get weird again | CBC Arts In the ‘80s and ‘90s, English Canadian screens were filled with bizarre, fever dream-like shows. Writer Niko Stratis argues that we need to back to that

For CBC Arts, I wrote about why I think Canada needs to revel in the beauty of its weirdest impulses www.cbc.ca/arts/canadia...

The people happiest about the cameras being removed were people who abused speed limits and constantly got caught. Hot take but removing them doesn’t help anyone.

I was at the front so I couldn’t see anyone board from there. I peaked out a few time but saw nothing. Not sure if it was my train

I’m shocked at how better my analytics are here on Bluesky VS Twitter, which is funny because you’d assume I’d get more there because I have more followers (180 there vs 30 here), but hey I’ll take it.

@giopetti.bsky.social knocks it out of the park with his second documentary “The Train to Nowhere”.

Was proud to talk to him and play a small part in the making of this great video.
