Roger Whittaker! One of the all-time great singer-songwriter-musician-whistlers. And a fluent speaker of Swahili! He had such a warm, personable stage presence. My family and I played his Canadian-issued records constantly, and we finally had the chance to see him in concert in Ottawa in the...

Sarah's a national treasure in Canada. Right up there with Joni, Shania, Anne Murray and Ginette Reno. (Notice I've left Céline off this list.) "The lyrics are about the death of musician Jonathan Melvoin (1961–1996) from a heroin overdose." Lovely song, heartbreaking lyrics, sung with such...

Winnipeg has bred some real fine musos: CTD, The Guess Who, BTO, Neil Young... .

That was such a funny, wonderful show! Strangely, I watched all 3 seasons in South Korea in the late 90s, on Hong Kong's Star TV. My American neighbours were smitten with Paul Gross. .

... and The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats! Man, did those songs get heavy rotation on our AM stations. MWH's singer-songwriter and his brother were 2nd gen Ukrainians who grew up in Montréal (where theyvstill live, in fact). That's why you hear French interspersed in many of their songs...

And in case you'd forgotten this completely bonkers conspiracy from several years ago... It's back in the news. Thanks, Texas -- you never disappoint in showing us that you're the most credulous, craven, cowardly and cruel state in the US.

IF there are mid-terms. And even so, red and red-leaning states have been busy since 2021 enacting laws that disenfranchise (10s of) millions of citizens, mostly minorities, the poor and married women (the white suburban moms who voted for Biden). The Project 2025 SAVE Act is trying to do this...

Tom Nichols, one of The Atlantic's distiguished editors, has likely put his finger on the principal reason for Trump and the now-fascist GOP: boredom. Trump Voters Got What They Wanted -- Those who expect that Donald Trump will hurt others, and not them, are likely to be unpleasantly surprised...

Hilarious... and coming from Canada's own Mike Myers. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

I've been following The Shallow State, a psychiatrist, for years, first on Twitter, now on Bluesky. Trump checks all boxes for sociopathic narcissism. The Shallow State identifies and analyses Trump's pathological acts and behaviour at each one of his rallies, interviews, conferences, etc. The...

California circulated a petition to secede during the 1st tЯ☭mp administration; it's started another one, naturally. There are also some in Cali, Oregon and Washington who've expressed the desire to join Canada, albeit mostly facetiously. But they are envious, no doubt. .

I grew up in Cornwall, Ontario, across the bridge from Malone, Massena, etc. in Northern NY. That's trailer park country, irredeemable rednecks. :sick: .

If the quality of life in Murka was higher, the same or even a bit lower than Canada's, you would not have had the immediate furore and backlash from us. The day tЯ☭mp announced his first tariffs, the US anthem at an international hockey game was lustfuly booed... in Montréal ! We know life up...

If you accept that Russia represents an existential threat to the sovereignty of Moldova, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia (and we could also include Finland and Poland to the group), then you should also recognise the apprehension and seriousness with which we Canadians view the White House's...

Posts 11 010, 11 012, 11 018, 11 019 The GOP can't bring Canada to its knees economically. However, if they can install enough high-ranking, crazy-corrupt Mike Flynn-type generals, then an armed invasion is possible. (There are still too many "normal" military leaders who would balk at...

For the past 2 years, he kept saying that the DJI was surging because "business" was looking forward to seeing him win the '24 election. Now the DJI is tanking because of "Bidenomics hangover". 🤪🙄🤪
