2025 had some pretty great moments but, ngl, the situation in the US, a country I don't live in, with policies and rhetoric I can't control, cast a pall over everything. At least Canada voted wisely and we may differ in policy but as least there are adults in charge.

The death of expertise.
Love this. The problem with the news is too many knowledgeable opinions helping to tell compelling stories, not enough uninformed slop.

Any Canadians watch #BTG on Crave? Have they stopped posting episodes? Last one posted is E194 and I believe there are 200 episodes for the 1st season.

Day 7 post op and this guy is doing well. He still can't figure out why Elizabethans were so into collars though.

Yup. Nothing nefarious. Not a "leak" by honourable free speech loving Canucks. Just incompetence.
Bari Weiss being so ignorant of the TV business that she didn’t realize international versions of their programming were already sent out before she made the call to spike the story… just incredible. They’re really getting what they paid for with that one

The Kent Monkman exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is a real showstopper! Bold, beautiful and just so alive with colour and spirit! Very much worth catching!

I approach a table of Black guys eating lunch. I lift up my under armour shirt Exposing my big bright white belly. “I don’t have to apologize for this anymore.” They trade glances & one whispers that he’ll pray for me. I walk away victorious

It has been called Canada's Favourite Confection.
This no-bake dessert grew in prominence following the Second World War and became famous nationwide thanks to Expo 86 and Nanaimo's mascot Nanaimo Barney.

Let’s face it: the Epstein files are not the issue.
We already know that Trump is a truly evil person with abominable proclivities.
The issue is what is 🇺🇸America going to do about him.
So far, it seems, not much.

Stumbled upon Perry Como's 1983 Christmas special. He extols the melting pot that is NYC, features the UN Children's choir -lots of brown faces! and sings The Best of Times from La Cage aux Folles. Somehow this would now be considered divisive and "woke." Oh, how we've fallen.

How many scams has Hayley (or whatever her real name is) pulled in her young life? I thought she was a school chum of Naomi who the family has known for a long time. Did I misunderstand that at the beginning of the series? #beyondthegates #btg
