Dead Wild Roses: Thank Goodness for Rick Mercer and the CBC – The Para-Pan Am Games
Rick Mercer reports on our Canadian para-Panam/para-Olympic athletes with a vivacious gusto and aplomb that leaves one smiling and quite pleased to be Canadian. I am very glad the CBC exists and can provide a platform for the likes of Mercer and the good, often funny, work that he does.

Ms. Borg is an NDP MP, and is most definitely not one of these Conservative trained seals. It's funny but I think they left out female MPs to make it look like CPC are a bunch of old white men https://t.co/k42JOtTSTC — Stephen Maher (@stphnmaher) July 30, 2015 This is

I knew this was a Spaceballs movie reference when I heard “ludicrous mode”. “Ludicrous speed” is attained by a spaceship in the Spaceballs movie. #Tesla Roadster in my driveway on Canada Day. pic.twitter.com/x1TX0GpVhe — Saskboy K.

Ah, the wonders of travelling abroad. Signage, as much as designers would like us to believe it to be true, is hardly universal. In my own voyages, most recently Iceland, exit signs look like this: I have to admit, from an ‘objective’ perspective, the sign makes complete sense. Person walking

Soylent Purple is purple people? They’d be purple people eaters. It’s an actual meal replacement product that you make the day before, put into your fridge, and eat as liquid meals the next day. “I wouldn’t eat you, cause you’re so tough!”

You heard about the woman hospitalized for wearing so called “skinny jeans”? Global didn’t seem to understand Pat Martin was joking. From Kady’s old 2008 report comes this line: Pat Martin, meanwhile, is playing Goldilocks. After unsuccessfully hopping up and down on his chair, he swaps it for another one

I’ll admit it up front, I tend to dress like an unfashionable frump of at least 20 years beyond my chronological age. But I actually really love clothes! Which is how I got hooked on Zulily. More pretty clothes to look at every day? Steeply discounted? Sign me right up!

It must be a slow news week for JO and the Last Week Tonight Show as they spend a segment describing our Senate expense scandal. Is it surprising that people with access to public funds are behaving irresponsibly, not really – but unlike JO, I think the money spent documenting

There is so much we could talk about: the G7 “support” for a fossil fuel free world by 2100, Mr Harper’s visit with the Pope, the Senate’s secret arbitration process, but today we’re going to talk about road trips. Ms Soapbox and her daughter (let’s call her Missy) are going

Recently, I’ve been told that what this town needs is a new citizen’s action group. I imagine it will be a group of residents concerned that the precedents set by the last council might spread to this one. That’s clearly a worrisome trend to some folks. Like progress, good ideas must be nipped in the bud. What

Chicken Little was out one morning walking around town. It was a fine morning, and he decided he wanted a cup of coffee. He wanted one so much could even smell the coffee in the air. So he walked into a local restaurant. But then he stopped and his mouth fell

This workout combines the best of yoga flexibility, a little bit of cardio, and core strength workouts. You don’t even need to leave your own bedroom. In fact, you probably don’t want to. And unlike other workouts, with this one, you shower first, and it’s done before you even get
