I'm sorry, I just have a question about the term 'expired'

Why don't they say anything?
Well, because when it happens to YOU, if you say something, that's frequently the ballgame. You get driven out of your community; you get to see what the people you thought loved you look like with the masks off. And way, way too many of them are monsters.

My recent bugbear is brakes (car has those!) v breaks (car should not have those!).

It's very small in the grand scheme of things, but when I'm reaching out to Americans about the GGPAAs, I usually use the Kennedy Center Honors as a quick comparable. WELP.

The thing that bothers me so much about Carney's joke about greenlighting the Heated Rivalry show is that it furthers the narrative that it's a needle in a haystack. Anyone who reads Canadian books and watches Canadian film knows that we could have dozens more HRs with enough funding.
