We need to do better than this. The fact that it took this long just to do this is a fucking disgrace.

Not exactly news…but it’s kind of, well refreshingly creepy? Creepily refreshing? As compared to what the world’s like today, that is.


The narration is what makes me cringe the most. Just…ewwugheeww.

ZOMG, it is soooo …the Blackfoot dances: “Well, it may not be Fred Astaire, but it deserves a solid hand…” I want to die. Even for Warner Brothers, this is cringey-laughy-mouth-dropping stuff.

It appears to be something he does. He recorded one for CHUO (University of Ottawa radio) a couple of weeks ago.

Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland scoffed at Harper’s missive.

“We will continue to defend Canadian interests,” Freeland tweeted on Friday night. “Capitulation is not a negotiating strategy.

I remember well when Jean Chretien declined to join the Coalition of the Willing and invade Iraq. Harper slithered out from under his rock to publicly apologize to G. W. Bush on behalf of all of us.

The Canadian Legion is claiming both the photo of the poppy flower in the top part of the image and the poppy doughnuts in the bottom are trademark infringements.

While I agree the doughnuts are inappropriate and that protecting the poppy symbol is important, I don’t see claiming every image of a poppy as legitimate.

Seriously? Can we just have the usual news of someone stealing the poppy box from Timmies?
Instead we have to have a news about a poppy donut? So dumb.

Between the doughnuts and the absurdly overextended trademark enforcement, I agree it’s dumb all around.

Meanwhile, Harry Leslie Smith, an actual WWII veteran (currently on a book fucking tour at 94!) won’t wear a poppy and hasn’t since 2014.

This is just huge. The loss of small press local media is horrifying.
