What the hell is going on in Canadian media?
Why was journalist Tina Yazdani — who was dogged in her coverage of Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government — suddenly fired from CityNews without any explanation to the public?
This is potential-major-press-freedom-story levels of concerning:
Steve’s Music Store is closing today after being an institution in the Toronto music scene for 49 years on Queen West. It’s where I bought my first guitar when I was 15 years old. I remember going in there as a kid, excited by all the musicians and instruments around me, and thinking their talented staff were simply the coolest people in the world. RIP Steve’s, and thank you.
PM of Denmark Mette Frederiksen on Mark Carney: "The speech you gave in Davos, I have never experienced anything like this. I mean, people in Denmark have been talking about, they have been reading your speech. And I don't think I have ever heard so many reflections on a speech from a colleague."
Trump to NATO allies who didn’t pay up (2024): “No, I would not protect you. In fact I would encourage them (Russia) to do whatever the hell they want.”
NATO allies to Trump’s request for military help (2026): “Go fuck yourself, pedophile.”
Dear Canadians. I know that we are a kind and polite nation - and booing the US anthem in Canadian venues can often feel disrespectful to the (what is often) canadian singer. But you can also choose not to stand. A full stadium quietly seated is a far more powerful message.
I haven't bought anything from the US in...5 or 6 months? It's actually extremely easy.
Keep buying Canadian, Mexican, European, Asian, anything but US👍
🚨LOOK. AT. THIS.
BIBLICAL FLOODING IN TEXAS -
THEY JUST OPENED BUCHANAN DAM AND UNLEASHED HELL
Four floodgates. Wide open for the first time in 6 years.
Not a flow, a roar. Water swallowing land, homes, yards, streets. Locals say they’ve never seen anything like it.
This isn’t rain. This is judgment.
On July 13, 1953, future Oscar winner Alec Guinness spoke the first words of the first play performed at the Stratford Festival.
"Now is the winter of our discontent, made glorious summer by this son of York."
This is its story of how the Stratford Festival began.

A year ago, the province closed the Ontario Science Centre under false pretenses and this morning I joined @SaveOSC and residents from across Toronto for a rally at Christie Pits. The Science Centre’s roof never collapsed- it still has more integrity than the Ford government.
