There was enormous attention on Doug Ford's World Series Ad.

Doug is promising to rip up "red tape" to get at the Ring of Fire ore bodies.
People in the region have gone 30 years without drinking water. He refuses to meet them.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.
Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

Hey @sportsnetpr.bsky.social, why should we keep paying for your streaming service if you can’t keep it working?
I’ve missed the entire bottom of the 7th with no end to this “unable to connect” garbage in sight. And if you try to claim “unprecedented demand”, that’s on you. Do better.

Well this is one of the worst renditions of O Canada that I’ve heard.
I’ll never understand singers’ need to “put their own spin” on a national anthem. You’re not out there to perform your cover version, just sing/play it the way it was written.
