Won’t lie. I’m kinda disappointed that all the BC media producers diving into the record library to find songs to use with their time change stories have been missing out on this banger ;)

If you’re liking Norsemen you might also like 1670, same approach set in the Poland of that time. Pretty funny so far

Volunteers fix a closed bridge for $305, but the district isn't happy DIY repair job sparks safety concerns and renewed calls for patience from SCRD

The Canadian women can leave Italy with heads held high. To take a team that dominated you all year, and pasted you 5-0 in the prelims, to OT in the final is a thing to be proud of and sends a message to the US squad that they too are mortals ;) #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026

I think I’ve finally figured it out. Someone told POTUS that Gordie Howe’s play in the corners was the inspiration for β€œelbows up.” It would have been a pretty short journey from there to getting mad about a bridge named after Gordie. It’s the only way it tracks!

Between the Rivalry Series rout and this afternoon’s thrashing I think it’s pretty reasonable for Team Canada fans to expect resignations or firings from the Women’s program within 24 hours post Olympics, even if there’s a turnaround in the final #MilanoCortina

Cleaning up and rearranging my shop space today and I came across these two gems: My BBC World Service guide for stringers circa 1996 and my @cfrcradio.bsky.social staff card from 1990 (which would have been my final year there).

Still keeping the classic though, I hope

If my great grandfather (Eckville’s namesake) was alive today I’m not sure how I’d explain the concept of β€œYour town is trending on X” to him. Let alone the apparent reason. 🀣

We also need to open up the market to more European models… Renault, for instance, is making some great small cars

TVO Today | Current Affairs Journalism, Documentaries and Podcasts

Radio friends, especially those that lived in Ontario in the 80s, I highly recommend the TVO documentary on the life and times of CFNY; Spirit of Radio. A bit melancholy if you miss radio as it was, but a good hour nonetheless tvo.org/video/document…

Today at the airport Teresa got me a coffee featuring a phonetically logical, but uniquely off piste spelling of her name :)

Props to Environment Canada for their new colour-coded weather warnings, but my inner 10 year old will never stop laughing about being under a yellow snow warning
