I bet Suncor would sell them the Petro Canada stations (not really their core business) wouldn’t even require a huge rebrand.

h Really enjoyed seeing this new documentary about Terry Fox. Revisiting the archival footage we saw a lot as kids was really special and it was nice to have time to revisit my thoughts and feelings about this as an adult. Learned new details about this amazing person. #CIFF

I’m more than ok with Anne but still would have preferred Milton Acorn or Andrew MacPhail. Better LMM related choices would have been Kindred Spirits or Rainbow Valley. I hope the hadn’t already bought their exterior cladding and/or have lots of green paint.😂

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

I don't know *why* this was a 9/11 tribute but it's still my favorite (insane) 9/11 tribute. Raul Esparza went on that stage and was like "oh no, I am going to MAKE you understand that this is a song about an insanely toxic sexual relationship and how it destroys you. Anyway #NeverForget"

I want to go back in time to, say, 2012, to tell people that Blue Rodeo's Hasn't Hit Me Yet would become a nationalist anthem after President Donald Trump renamed Lake Ontario.

Hard to imagine a more perfect recipe for boosting Canadian nationalism than a trade war with the Americans escalating on the same weekend everyone is reminiscing about the Tragically Hip's last show. If TSN re-aired Game 8 of the '72 Summit Series, we'd probably fall into a patriotic sugar coma.

Roughly, there’s ~$800 billion in taxpayer-funded education sitting outside the province that paid for it. With Alberta and B.C. the largest beneficiaries. My latest for @TheHubCanada on the largest financial transfer nobody talks about: thehub.ca/2026/07/02/... #cdnecon #cdnpoli

@keithburgoyne.bsky.social you inspired me to finally watch the movie. Lots of backstory (“hot lips” for example now makes sense), same vibe I remember, same Radar, parts of it haven’t aged well, hard to believe Donald Sutherland as an American but and Elliot Gould are great.
