Canadian man’s wife, son die by food poisoning during vacation abroad ( www.cp24.com )

As someone who gets a laugh whenever a Sunwing vacation fail becomes newsworthy (like clockwork it seems), this one is truly sad and upsetting *(it's Transat this time). I looked up the resort and the first result was tripadvisor, and if you filter to by one star, it's just illness after illness. It's kind of mind boggling how ...

smokebuddy OP ,

That's absolutely disgusting.

Not only should the schoolchildren work at McDonalds to pay for their meals, they should rely on their Wi-Fi too!

I've read a few times that the whole Kill Paedophiles thing is a dogwhistle. It can be said openly because nobody's going to defend true paedos, but the people pushing the phrase really mean people of marginalized gender identities. The way some people get so riled up over drag queen story hours, I can believe it.

That Audi became an Innie. Good ol' Sudvegas.

That's pretty funny and he's right, but he is the same guy who took Rob Ford out on a coffee run so idk how much political shade he can really throw lol

Yeah I remember the outrage over that. Lasted for weeks. "Sometimes I get the questions in advance".

Then it turns out FOX News did the exact same thing for Trump this cycle but that interesting fact was withheld to be a sell-a-book bombshell (long after the result) and nobody really gave a shit.

Also to get in front of the 7,000 jobs wipeout the now inevitable closing of Brewer's Retail will cause, because the $225 million(!) he gave them to stay open is only until the end of 2025

Going to be so awesome when dealer lots get overfilled with Chrysler minivans and GM SUVs that nobody wants and can't be exported, meanwhile affordable Chinese EVs that Canadians actually desire are slapped with 100% import tarrifs as protectionism for American and Japanese corporations.

We didn't have that but George Stroumboulopoulos came and told us not to do drugs

It's such a shame Will Farrell and Adam McKay's Regan with dementia movie was perceived as too distasteful to proceed... the memes would have been so relevant

I already got instantly shadow banned on Reddit from my new phone

This blows... Wtf is that a thing anyways, what a stupid, fascist way of censorship. It's like you getting cattle marked for life in a social media and I didn't do anything. I didn't insulted anyone or attacked any minority, it sucks because the communities I followed about the media I consume are there. And only them hold the ...

Are you sure you're shadowbanned and your content isn't being held for moderation? Pretty much any major sub has minimum karma limits whether or not they say so. Could try making a new account and posting inane comments on smaller subs to build karma like the bots that overrun that site do, the site is pretty much broken now by design. Any new account needs to be gamified and sit/be used this way for like a week to get out of purgatory.

Right-wing extremists are celebrating Elon Musk’s straight-arm gesture during a speech Monday, although his intention wasn’t totally clear and some hate watchdogs are saying not to read too much into it.

I've been to a half dozen weddings over the past decade or so and not one of them did the "speak now or forever hold your peace" thing from the movies.

A source close to both companies says the word that trickled down from Brewer’s team was blunter: “Why do our stores look like an effing casino?”

I might pick the evil route if I can Vince McMahon walk it, looking super smug, while "I AM GENIUS" blasts real loud. Seems like the cool thing to do.

I was at an OHL (minor league hockey) game and they had a couple of very little kids teams come out to skate around the ice before the anthem and puck drop, but while the kids were skating around they rolled out a long carpet to centre ice for the anthem singer to walk out on. Every single kid came around the corner right into the carpet and wiped out, one by one, someone ran out on the carpet waving their arms to try and tell them to STOP! but they either couldn't stop or didn't notice and all of them ate it.

The crowd was a mix of people horrified and going OH NOOOO and others laughing their asses off. It was quite the scene.

Internet Archive has a download of the mod and a link to the torrent of the HD Textures version, the torrent still had a couple hundred of seeds the other day. Been playing around with it the past week it's a lot of fun.

I'm in the region and myself and everyone I know have gotten text spam from the CPC last week and for the past month or so our local news has been heavy with editorials and CPC features pumping themselves up. I don't think Sudbury has had a proper poll done in any of the past elections other than maybe mayoral, would be interesting if anyone bothers to fund one this round.

Pretty much the plot of The Laundromat (2019), the Netflix Panama Papers movie. It's pretty good.

Two, eight, one; three, three, zero; eight, zero, zero, four.

If you remember 2005 and are also a Texan who likes rap music, these barked digits hold a particular affection. When Houston rapper Mike Jones became famous, he notoriously rapped his phone number aloud over the brilliant, organ-driven beat for “Back Then.”

I'm Canadian and I recognized it but only after reading the description "Mike Jones"

Back then... they didn't want him 😮

I'm in Canada and it's how I got all my meters until I got switched to a CGM. The hospital sent me home with a starter pack with a brand and some samples. I've never seen generic strips here, but that would be welcome. I've used FreeStyle and AccuChek and both required the branded strips, but never had to pay for a meter. I've seen commercials on TV for Contour doing the same deal.

Best Buy used to/might still idk sell a meter under the brand iHealth, the strips were about half the price. I tried it out and it worked fine but eventually I got proper insurance and used what was prescribed.
