I love everything about this video:
-the raccoons behaving like lazy cats
-the dude patiently poking them while marvelling at their girth
-the total lack of urgency for everyone involved
My son is playing by himself in his room and he is narrating his imaginary play activities in a voice like a French Werner Herzog: “We open ze barrel of monkeys, and we find zem all dead inside. Ze worst discovery of all. Who has done zis to zeese monkeys? Who is zis monster?”
Please stop giving some useless neckbeard with 18 followers from Supervirgin Wisconsin a platform here because he tweets inane shit like “feminists should not be allowed to have toast” life already deplatformed him stop interfering with nature
Alex Trebek is rightfully revered for many reasons, but never forget he has let generations of Canadians enjoy vicariously the best job on television: politely telling Americans they don’t know as much as they think they do
If you’re Canadian and use milk bags and have never cut the tip off the bag by sawing it with a steak knife because nothing else was available, you’re lying
So we all agree as a nation no matter your political affiliation that these uniforms are probably the worst we’ve seen in decades, and we’ve had some real stinkers?
What extreme hot take did you have about a tv show when you were a little kid?
When I was five, I was angry and frustrated that no one on the island would do the dirty deed and kill Gilligan, as I would have in that situation
I want to be clear: moving Roll Up The Rim To Win to an app was a betrayal. The intimacy and community of fishing a scrap of paper cup with bite marks on it from your cup holder and getting a free coffee in return was a sacrosanct. This is an insult to our nation’s traditions
The least believable thing about Revenge of the Sith is Padme gracefully prancing while full term pregnant with twins and tearfully begging Anakin to reconsider as opposed to waddling out of her spaceship and screaming, “WHAT THE FUCK ANAKIN”
Listen, Tim Horton’s execs: you are obviously panicking because the bizarre and off brand marketing schemes and food items are not resulting in the profits you desire. Have you considered that this is a problem entirely of your own invention?
Little did Pierre Trudeau know that when he agreed to include the notwithstanding clause in the Canadian charter of Rights and Freedoms that the person who would use it like a hammer was at that very moment selling hash out of the back of his car in plaza parking lot
I don’t know if people outside Canada genuinely understand the visceral reactions Canadians, particularly from southern Ontario, have about anything related to Paul Bernardo. It is hard to explain, but ever present, even after decades.
As a Canadian woman in her early 40’s I feel I have been denied a birthright the women who came before me enjoyed: these are my prime Danier Leather years, but there are none to be found anymore
Ahem: I will not wade into the Bert & Ernie controversy but I will point out that all of you are missing out on the fact that Canadian Gen X and early millennials had Casey from Mr. Dressup as our first non-binary puppet character
The subway is down, the sidewalks are crowded with tired people, the patios are stuffed, pedestrians are spontaneously forming packs to intimidate drivers into letting them cross at out intersections: It feels like Toronto is back, baby
1945-1960: boomers
1960-1978: Gen X
1979-1982: The Unknown, Both Aged and Young, Both Analog and Internet, Shapeshifters, Tricksters, Are They Human And Do They Experience The Dimension of Time?
1983-2000: millennials
Congratulations to all the millennial gentlemen just finding out about side effects of the birth control pill after decades of assuming it was just a tic tac
Once upon a time you’d take the subway down to Queen, walk west until the stores became fun, and then you’d wander into the crowd under the news van embedded in the building to watch a band play or window cameo a live broadcast, and it was fun.
Today when we woke up, our cat was doing poorly.
I spent the day looking after him and telling him he was loved.
The vet appointment was scheduled for a half hour from now.
He died in our arms an hour ago.
Thanks for being the best cat in the whole world, Miles.
If the polls are correct, four years after laughing at Toronto for essentially burning their hand on a hot stove, the rest of the province is going to ignore Toronto’s warnings and press it’s face against the same hot stove
#BREAKING
: According to an internal memo sent to Bell Media employees, CP24 will be leaving the iconic 299 Queen Street West location this October.
The news station that has been downtown for decades, will now move to CTV’s Agincourt campus.
Padme throwing Anakin’s stuff out of her spaceship piece by piece while cussing him out over the intercom is the scene we needed but never got is only one of a hundred reasons that I hate the prequels
So if I understand this correctly, today in Toronto a conspiracy-minded idiot decided to open his BBQ dining room didn’t get fined for his stunt, but the Parkdale community fridge got shut down.
I hope Ontario understands that Doug Ford blaming the disastrous vaccine roll out in the province on the federal government is like blaming the grocery delivery service for why supper has not been made.
When I was a teen I dreamed of living on the Toronto islands. When I was a young adult I looked into it and found it was essentially impossible. Now I am middle aged, and have had enough of the demands of the island residents.
Oddly enough, a two week strike in schools could possibly help our sick children and overburdened hospital systems than anything the provincial government is doing atm
Canadian politics is in an odd place right now. No one’s happy and nobody likes the leaders of the main parties except their dwindling devoted who accuse each other of being foreign paid communists, fascists, and bigots. We want an election but have no one to vote for.
Every Large Toronto City Park should have an official crest revealed each year and you can purchase a badge or a pin for a small amount at the park and the proceeds go back into parks & rec. summer goals: collecting the season’s pins
So this tweet took off, and thereby I am granted an additional tweet to bother you with:
Tell someone, anyone, how much they mean to you or how they’ve made your life better tonight. It’s the right time of year for it.
Let’s all have roly-poly wonderful 2020. Thanks!
So there are people at Nathan Phillips Square with megaphones shouting at the parents they’re sterilizing their children at the kids vaccination pop up. And the cops are just watching. This is unacceptable
Hey remember when Doug Ford demanded all the gas stations put ugly stickers blaming the federal government for gas prices on their pumps and then it rained and all the stickers peeled off anyway?
I’m not going to call you a “grandma killer” because you want to open things back up before they’re ready. I’ll call you “mom who works at the grocery store killer” or “nurse killer” or “child of emergency responders killer”, because you can’t waive that away as you do grandmas.
If you’re wondering what it’s like to wait for US midterm election results as someone who isn’t American, it’s kinda like watching your neighbours decide if they’re gonna throw water or gasoline on the fire that has erupted on the old couch they have on their porch
Canadians: I can’t afford to buy a house because house prices are insane and rent prices are so high that we can’t save money
Federal government: here’s a tax free savings account for that money you don’t have
For many, the dream of homeownership feels like it’s moving further out of reach.
That’s why today, we are launching the new Tax-free First Home Savings Account, to help young Canadians and first-time home buyers save up to $40,000 – tax-free!

The CRA confirms that tenants are responsible for withholding 25% of their foreign landlords' rent and paying it to the CRA — something almost no one was aware of a month ago.
"The Government of Canada continuously reviews the tax system to ensure it is both fair and efficient."
As someone who got “most likely to write ‘cynicism for dummies’” in the yearbook, listen: this is true, don’t waste half your life thinking being sour and mean is a replacement for a personality.
Just because you’re cynical and don’t like things doesn’t mean you’re smart. She was well entrenched in high school bullshit: Pretending not to care IS high school bullshit.
The rage that burned in my little size 6X chest as Gilligan would destroy whatever the Professor had been working on all episode and the Skipper wouldn’t even break Little Buddy’s neck
Not even attempting the vaccine portal, I prefer to get my second dose the old fashioned way: wandering the city aimlessly, interrogating everyone in the shoppers drug mart, camping out at a Rexall, picking fights with god
If Canada approves the Pfizer vaccine for kids 5-11, can we please roll it out through the elementary schools like we used to? So much more efficient that way.
At a ribbon cutting ceremony for King Animal Hospital on Tuesday, Premier Ford seemed to joke about Ontario's burdened health care system. Ford quipped that overflow patients can attend the animal hospital for their MRIs and CT scans.
The fact media has to repeatedly point out the murdered tenants did not deserve to be murdered by their landlord shows how truly deranged the housing crisis discourse has become.
I just want a mayor who prioritizes public transit, pedestrians, public housing, public schools, daycares, recreation centres, and libraries over some rando sitting in their car complaining it isn’t going fast enough, is that too much to ask?
Toronto used to have a real nightlife throughout the city, but the pot shops, the pandemic and the rents killed it. And it isn’t going to come back until at least half of the pot shops shutter their doors in this town. Let me explain.
Fuck it. Move the Ontario Science Centre to Ontario Place. Move the CN Tower to Black Creek Pioneer Village. ROM and AGO? Switch buildings. The OCAD Lego building is now the City Archives. Bay Station is now Fort York, or will be when I am proclaimed Mayor
Shout out to Toronto for having a barrel run of shitty things happen to it in 2018 and the people every single damn time rising to the occasion and being patient and decent and kind and genuinely considerate to each other. Thank you.
One last thing: if your man is over the age of thirty and decides to join in on slagging Jagged Little Pill, tell him Radiohead’s Kid A was just Sad Noises for Sad Boyses and watch them shut down in rage and grief
@likeadad
Stand at any Tim Hortons and ask every customer coming in what they wished the store sold that it currently does not. I expect the answer would be 95% food items that used to be on the menu, not ones that never were. Ignore existing customers to chase new ones at your own risk.
If you had told me twenty five years ago that Keanu Reeves would become a philosopher king we get solace from in 2019, I would have laughed in your face
If Toronto elects Olivia Chow on Monday, all bets are off on what Doug Ford will do Tuesday. He could take strong mayor powers away. He could demand the election be redone. He could de-amalgamate the city. The options are endless
Journalists: people know so little about Andrea Horwath that most don’t even know how to spell her last name, yet we’re notified on every platform whenever Doug Ford blinks. Give us more stories about this woman we know nothing about: the polls prove there’s an audience.
I do not understand the convoy protest on the very simple basis that I simply would not visit Ottawa in January and I certainly wouldn’t return to Ottawa in January to commemorate the time I went to Ottawa in January
As we mourn for the Science Centre, shout out to every little girl and boy who was picked for the electricity experiment: you handled everyone laughing at you for something you couldn’t see like a boss, my frizzy haired comrades (I was one of you in the 80’s)
I’ve been getting a number of messages about this recently, so I want to let you all know: if you’re still social distancing and following rules like it is still April, you’re not alone. You’re not being silly. Plenty of people are doing the same and have the same concerns.
Needless to say he stopped rubbing his crotch against our desks. And oh, how we were the worst class he ever had, he said. But the damage was done. The tale of his truth-telling khakis spread round the school quickly.
Our positivity rate is 10 percent. If you can get a vaccine, get one. No one is telling you to trample an essential worker on the way to the vaccine, just get one if you are eligible. No one wants an accounting of your privilege, just get the vaccine, we’re at 10%.
Saying that lockdowns don’t work and pointing to Ontario as an example is like saying fire extinguishers don’t work because the person you’re using as an example doesn’t know how to operate one
This morning, when our alarm didn’t go off at the regular time, our cat fished an empty cat food can out of the recycling bin, carried it in his teeth to our bedroom, and banged it against the floor until we got up
It feels like if you don’t dramatically pivot from your current strategy, you’ll be handing ever more market share to McDonald’s while destroying a national brand through sheer incompetence.
He attacked a woman in the forest behind my childhood home during his years as the Scarborough rapist. He lured and killed girls a couple years older than myself at the time. He’s the reason we had the bus drivers drop women off where they wanted at night, not just bus stops.
Ok so this went viral, so here’s a picture of the glorious Dini Petty in a pink jumpsuit. Before she was a talk show host, she was the first female traffic reporter to pilot her own helicopter! A Canadian treasure.
So when I was in high school long ago there was this one male teacher who would walk around the class and rest his junk, through his pants, on the edge of your desk, if you were a girl.
Christine Elliott should be haunted by that “however” for the rest of her life. It should be shouted by protestors to drown her out wherever she goes. It should be said to her face when she campaigns in her riding, immediately before having the door slammed in her face.
These “Open For Business” signs are about as sensible as someone putting a “I’m looking for a job” sign in their living room window and waiting for someone to knock on their door to offer them one
Good morning!
I woke up to find that I made my country’s first woman Prime Minister LOL, so now I’m trying to figure out if I can get UberEats to deliver an ice cream cake for breakfast
Fuck around for over a decade on property taxes to the point Toronto has the lowest property taxes in the region, eventually you’re gonna find out, this isn’t hard, this is something every mayor has been running from, yes, even Rob
I know someone who had to run a short errand to the Eaton Centre and back. They took the streetcar directly there and back and didn’t browse.
They got five dings on the covid alert app and had to get tested.
And yet somehow the govt is pushing for schools to reopen.
Just a reminder that millennials are full adults, not teenagers or children, and the oldest of us are pushing forty. We are not young and irresponsible. We’ve had to keep our shit together amid crises and massive shifts of society almost non-stop our entire adult lives.
