Let me make sure I have this right. The Conservatives bought advertising time on television stations so that they could show advertisements like this one that advertise all of the bad things that Justin Trudeau has done, and then tell us at the end of all of their advertisements that Justin Trudeau is not as …

Where Are They Now: Igor Kenk, the Guy Who Pilfered All Those Bikes
I remember being fascinated by the story of Igor Kenk as it was unfolding. First because I thought it was funny that a guy who owned a bike shop would have to send somebody out to steal a bike for him, and then just by how big the story ended up being (around 3000 bikes …

A History Of The Birth Of MuchMusic
Before Bell converted it into a dumping ground for stuff moved off of the Comedy Network in order to make room for even more Big Bang Theory reruns, MuchMusic was a very important, you might even say revolutionary TV channel. It was, as its name suggests, a music station. 24 hours a day, 7 days …
I Lost ON Jeopardy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvUZijEuNDQ Stephanie Stein, one of the many unfortunate victims fed to James Holzhauer during his run on Jeopardy, wrote about the experience.

Guy Might Be Guy, CTV Reports
This is quite possibly the dumbest news report I’ve seen since it’s hot out when it’s summer. That, perhaps not coincidentally I’m starting to think, was also a CTV production. Yorkville resident says he may have seen Kawhi Leonard Pierre-James Murphy stood across from his apartment in Yorkville, staring at the crowd that had gathered …
Why Are The TV Commercials Yelling AT Me Again?
Perhaps Carin and I are just crazy old people (the fact that we still fairly happily pay for cable television suggests that we might be), but in case we’re not, I’ll toss this out into the world. Has anybody else noticed that, even though it’s not supposed to happen and hasn’t felt like a problem …

Log Driver’s Waltz
I don’t hear this often these days, but whenever I do it’s stuck in my head for like the next decade. So since the radio just played it, I thought I’d share the experience and wish everyone a happy almost Canada Day. Enjoy your long weekend, especially now that we’re on a stretch of something …

This really is nothing short of incredible. What if Fox News covered Trump the way it covered Obama? It would look like this pic.twitter.com/dLfhHToieL — NowThis Impact (@nowthisimpact) April 16, 2019
Your Grouchy Face
It’s not quite as great as the duet with Johnny Cash, but Oscar the Grouch and James Taylor are still pretty fun.
