This is the smartest, wittiest, and f*ing hilarious documentary I’ve seen in a while. For free on YT and Vimeo, they said no to HBO/Netflix for a value-for-value model.
“Listers” by Owen Reiser. Two brothers dive into extreme birding. You’ll laugh.

spotting one feature so old that you start worrying about the vessel’s safety, sailing on Christmas, windy walk around the outer deck, shock at ticket prices
whale sighting, watching the final few inches of the dock approaching and waiting for the bump, the excruciating wait to board, the exuberance of de-boarding, a very windy/rocky crossing, a sailing so crowded that people are sitting on the floor, arriving juuuuust in time to make the sailing
browsing the gift shop, reading Book World, playing Crazy Taxi or Silent Scope, wandering the seating looking for “a quiet area,” friendly staff in the caf, announcement paging owner of a car that won’t stop beeping, looking at the lifeboats and wondering “are there enough?”

When the trauma is treated we have a much better chance at treating the addiction!
Seeing lots of elections.ca ads giving people info on voting 👏 and I’m reminded how the last Conservative govt (Harper) told that org it wasn’t their role to “promote” voter participation 🙄, and remembering those robocall scandals 🤨. Let’s not go back to that crew, please & thanks. ✌️
If you want to know exactly what is happening and what has changed, Vancouver council, TransLink and B.C. Ferries don’t use any other social sites, or have micro updates on their own sites, or send emails out to the media.
They solely use a site owned by someone who says Canada isn’t real.
your haiku is promising but needs a last line!

WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand just how lazy, moronic & dishonest Trump’s “math” is, that he claims is the basis for his “reciprocal tariffs” on nations all over the world (spoiler: they aren’t reciprocal), please watch this excellent CBC explanation by Andrew Chang.
Then please share it.
It’s concerning how & why THIS was such a top priority action for new PM (and first-time candidate, and parachute candidate, for elected office) Carney?

I still have one of those coupons in my wallet!
@cnn.com Can’t believe you have Kevin O’Leary on your NewsNight panel, and your host Abby Phillip speaks to him and refers to Canadians as “his people.” Fuck off with that. Total bullshit.
President muzzles government… freedom of speech, Constitutional Rights anyone?
