How much does Trump hate Canada? Five charts show the depths of his animosity The U.S. President seemed to like his northern neighbour during his first term. The second time around, things have gone seriously south

"Think about that – 159 years since Confederation and not one sitting U.S. president issues a direct challenge to Canada’s existence. Now it happens more often than garbage day." www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/ar...

Hate the Player is the best new TV show of 2026 so far We need more nervy, original small-screen storytelling about our country fuelled by whatever brought this to Paramount+

I really want to see this but I really don't want to subscribe to yet another streamer. Why does CBC not have a deal with New Metric Media, who are doing such great Canadian programming? www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/film...

In an era when so many shitty things are happening, I'm heartened by the fact that Angine de Poitrine are very popular at the moment.

I’m ready to fight like hell for this country, and against anyone trying to tear it apart.

The richest man in the world wants Canada to become the 51st state and is now amplifying Alberta separatism.

So let’s ask the question:
Who is funding this movement?

Albertans deserve to know.

London music fest cancelled after U.K. bars headliner Ye following past antisemitic remarks | CBC News Organizers of the Wireless Festival confirmed that the rapper had been barred from entering the U.K. in their notice of the festival cancellation. The U.K. Home Office denied Ye's application to trave...

Alberta Justice Minister curtailed election regulator when Sam Mraiche was under investigation Mickey Amery’s legislation shortened watchdog’s window of time to pursue sanctions for alleged political finance violations

I'm glad the Globe is still able to do this kind of investigative journalism. No news outlet in Alberta has the resources, or in some cases desire, to conduct this level of reporting. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

From Rush to Joni, Canada’s Biggest Night in Music Drew Big Audiences on CBC | CBC Media Centre The 2026 JUNO Awards Live from Hamilton attracted an audience of 2.6 million on TV and 1.8 million streams on digital platforms.

I believe CBC has been saying the online audience is coming for about 20 years now. Could it be that the Juno Awards this past Sunday was the time it actually happened?

This is the key. The collapse of twitter and the gutting of CBS are worthwhile investments or Weiss would be gone now.

We have a phantom e-bike stunt rider in our neighbourhood. He isn't trying to impress his friends; he travels solo. He rides wheelies and stands on his seat going down the trans Canada. The adult in me thinks he's a fool, but the little kid in me raised on Evel Knievel salutes him.

...and so much of this is the direct result of a poorly functioning media system. Think of how Canada dodged a bullet with the collapse of SUN News Network. We have far more pressing concerns in Alberta than our currently snoozing bear population.
