Former SDM store owner here. Been independent for over 20 years and I'd strongly encourage every Ontarian to support quality independent pharmacies. A day vs night healthcare experience.

I hate that they took over all the pharmacies becaue my local pharmacist is great. This is just a way foe Galen to screw them over.

I had a Pharmacist in a Shoppers direct me to some Homeopathic eye drops I was shocked and said I couldn't believe that they carried such quackery in their store She got offended 🤷‍♀️

Fuck Shoppers & fuck the Westons, too. Our independent pharmacist is right across the street & will stay a few minutes late to make sure we can pick meds up in time (bless him).

Disembodied voice in the Shoppers Drug Mart— owned by the Westons— tells me to consult their A.I. doctor for advice b4 seeing pharmacist. Valuing tech over humans and pushing a dangerous robotic nihilism. I’d suggest shopping elsewhere.

David Marsden passed on Friday, but it wasn't public until yesterday morning. On Friday, possibly while David was "putting on his wings", I was at the Palais Royale watching Dave Bidini and his band sing Spirit of Radio.

Amazing song and a terrific band. For me, Reconstruction Site ranks among the best indie albums - right up there with the Rheostatics' Whale Music.

Surprisingly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Rheostatics perform live having listened to and read them for decades. Fixed that last night. Beautiful concert by these Toronto area rock veterans. I fixated on the double drums and the brilliant violin playing. Outstanding top to bottom.
Hugh Marsh on violin and Kevin Hearn, accordion perform with Rheostatics at the Babs Asper Theatre, NAC Ottawa.

Wonderful to see @davebidini.bsky.social & Rheostatics last night at the NAC. Stunning rendition of the Great Lakes Suite, accompanied by a powerful Edmund Fitzgerald, and topped off with Stolen Car (19 years since I last heard it live!) What a treat.

Culturally, elbows up or down, it’s good for Canadians to know their own country better, and to know the greater world vs a quick trip south, which, for decades, is all we ever did

Over the past year Rogers has ended almost a century of Hockey Night in Canada, cancelled Hockey Night in Punjabi, failed to renew Jenn Botteril, made Monday games subscription-based, and ended LeafsTalk. Late stage hockey broadcasting capitalism.

Can’t believe Rogers cancelled LeafsTalk. Was free-form sports radio— and pure radio— at its finest. Brutal decision for the broadcaster. Numbing, really.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:
