did people who didn't know Kendrick Lamar get scolded as much as people who don't know the shitty pop-country song of the moment?

if Air Canada was voted the best airline in North America, what does that say about airlines in the US?

I dunno what annoys me more about Harvest - this or the annual thread on r/fredericton where multiple people go "well ackshully" that the people who want to hear the music they paid to hear are the problem. One of the reasons I've cut back on my Harvest intake lately.

this reminds me so much of the Pauline Kael "nobody I know voted for Nixon" quote, but if you look at the full quote, she was at least self-aware about it.

it wasn't enough that Rogers took games off CBC, or they shut down radio stations, or took away the Punjabi feeds, or sold more games to Amazon.... today they announced all Monday NHL games will be Sportsnet+ exclusives for an extra $12/month.

i still think ESPN realized their competition that time of day was Springer and Maury and programmed accordingly.

He's putting the screws to 'em. Firm and plain talk. He's good at this when it's in a speech environment. Just wondering where *this guy* is in between this speech and his last big Davos speech.

always thought that if it was Ontario or Alberta that was getting ripped off by Quebec in this way, there would have been a constitutional crisis.

Listen I will just say to any American politicians who are just watchimg their colleagues issue veiled threats at Canada for having wildfires in one of the largest boreal forests in the world you better not issue any "please buy or wine and visit our casino" notices

it would be something if the biggest sporting event in the world gets played under haze from wildfires from a country whose "liberal" prime minister just this week went "DRILL BABY DRILL" on us all.

so I just spent the better part of a day trying (and failing) to track down one of those vintage CD-ROMs that had a Canadian national phone directory that were a thing in the late 90s-early 2000s before online ones got big. I am such a dork.

Poulet Rouge may or may not be a front for something. All I know is they're based out of Quebec, popped up out of nowhere in the past few years to be on every damned corner in that province, and have "buy incessant ads in what's not even their main language" money.
