Without doubt the best car ad of all times! And based on a true story. With repect to German Reunification Day, one should remember what risk people took to leave the GDR. To put it politely, I find it irritating that nowadays some prefer to follow Putin's rat-catchers. youtu.be/v9iME5dvgAQ?...

Do you remember... Formed in Calgary in 1964, The Stampeders had several hits in the 1970s. The lineup of Rich Dodson, Ronnie King and Kim Berly had three gold records and won four Junos. The band reformed in 1992. After King's death in 2024, they continued with Dave Chobot.

Unhoused people protest, the city frames it as a “safety concern” for volunteers. “Why are they studying us?” Fineday asked. “Maybe instead of doing a PiT count and spending a quarter of Saskatoon’s budget on the police, maybe they should spend that much on affordable housing.”
