Well, apparently they've finally invented cheese for men. Or these are a dishwasher tab. Hard to tell.
Babybel PRO cheese. It is in a blue wrapper instead of red, has a electrolyte drink-like lightning bolt highlights protein and probiotics.

Walking through the Royal Oak Plaza parking lot, and a very loud, crystal clear Windows shutdown sound just blared out. I imagine it was someone’s text tone through car speakers, but it seemed to be coming from everywhere. Like God was shutting down Earth.

It’s very annoying that we don’t have bus lanes through downtown because of a handful of parking spots on Douglas. There’s so much parking downtown!

vicnews.com/2026/09/22/v... "Scrap all bus lane plans, HOV the only existing bus lane in the region, and make every stop a pullout so cars aren't waiting for buses" Deeply unserious. All runtimes will blow up overnight and force immediate *deep* service cuts (think ~25% of peak service). #yyj

Calling Navi (fixed route autonomous vans that don’t work) the future of autonomous public transport and closing it less than a quarter later while also claiming it would eventually replace your rail service (which you also are shuttering) is too on the nose for me.

This kind of report should be accompanied by a press conference—not with some low-level bureaucrat, but with the prime minister. Flanked by all of his ministers. In prime time, with technical briefings. This report says we're facing unimaginable disaster, yet we didn't even get a briefing.

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from
A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)
