@kellydmckenzie @CTVKitchener Right! I had to read it twice to make sure I understood correctly. It legitimately pays to be criminally-adjacent.

[Martin Pelletier @MPelletierCIO]

Outstanding piece. Highly recommend reading. Summarizes everything I’ve been saying for years. https://t.co/NfPGBkelJ4

Then explain this: your government just made American-owned Staples the exclusive vendor for every teacher's $750 classroom supply card, so not one of those dollars can go to a Canadian business. Buy Ontario means cancel the Staples deal. It's common sense.

As I was saying…@CBC may have the most incompetent, ideologically captured management in the country.

I didn’t get the memo so I can say with 💯 confidence:

9/11 WAS A TERRORIST ATTACK.

Policing this language isn’t “careful journalism” It’s an insult to victims & their families.

[Peter McCaffrey @peteremcc]

Next month is the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

But Basem Boshra is forcing all CBC staff to call them "hijackings that led to passenger jet crashes", not "terrorist attacks".

Boshra is the CBC's "Senior Director of Journalistic Standards and Public Trust".

I’d pay to wake up to this at 3:27 am again

Can we pass a law that says that Government is never allowed to say "free" and instead they must always say "tax-payer funded"?

Louis Varland has pitched 64⅓ innings this year and allowed 9 earned runs. That's not a typo.

@AnnetteHowey @FoodProfessor Ooh I've never tried, but will make it a point to next time I'm down there. I just can't understand why we can't get it right in Canada - small curd, low moisture, chef's kiss!

@vachon49995 Oh I've never come across their fizzy kefir! We have the flavoured varieties in the 1L size here in Ontario. Agreed we need to have access to more variety, and let the consumer choose!

Finishing the story that Dad and I started in 2001. He may no longer be with us, but I promised him I would complete our adventure . Ballpark #30

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: it’s being reported that Tim Hortons has increased Temporary Foreign Worker requests by 43%

😮😮😮

They haven’t learned?!

Dunkin’ Donuts is going to crush them.

[Lena Almeida @Listen2Lena]

@TheFrankDomenic I'll follow on IG and send you a DM next week. Appreciate what you're trying to get done in Alton Village/West Village.

[Frank Domenic @TheFrankDomenic]

3 months ago Tim Hortons committed to hiring local. Since then temporary foreign worker requests have increased by 43%. #canada #canadian #timhortons #frankdomenic🍁

I am not a Jew so I cannot pretend to know how it feels to be Jewish in Canada. I can however, publicly support Canadian Jews. Loudly.
The news this morning…restaurants burned, bagel shops shot up, blatant attacks on Jews. Speak out against this blatant antisemitism. It DOES have a place in Canada. In fact, it is thriving here. @thealliescanada

I’ve reached the age where I only get one main event a day. Doctor’s appointment? Hair appointment? One stressful work call? That’s it. Everything else gets pushed to tomorrow.

Sweet mother of god it’s so readable I could cry.

[Lena Almeida @Listen2Lena]

A man drove a car through a playground - packed with young children - on July 18, and it’s just being reported on now? Was this not considered newsworthy at the time?
