5 Starship launches and 1 SLS launch to get what used to take a single Saturn V into orbit. We are not a serious species.

Easier- switch to someone other than Rogers.
Hey Canadians, 🍁🇨🇦 Whoever is using Rogers just note they’re adding a 1.6% fee for paying your bill by credit card starting Jan 17, 2027 $100 bill = $1.60 extra. Every month. Rogers says card fees cost them ~$150M a year so now it's on you. Easy fix: switch to direct debit or Visa/Mastercard Debit and pay $0.

The USA has some of the best burn specialists in the world. Take the offer if it will help even one of our injured soldiers.
Our prayers remain with all affected by the tragedy at @CanadianForces Base Wainwright. To support the recovery of soldiers affected by traumatic burns, the U.S. government has made a formal offer of assistance and resources to the Government of Canada, should it be deemed necessary.

Who would have guessed that a medication that treats addiction and disordered “happy hormone” signals would treat ALL addictive items and not just salt, sugar, and fat?
JUST IN: Heineken warns that the booming use of Ozempic & other weight-loss drugs threatens beer sales, as users increasingly lose their desire to drink alcohol.

TACO Tuesday came early!
TRUMP REPORTEDLY PLANS TO EASE 50% TARIFFS ON CANADA The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to remove 50% tariffs on certain Canadian agricultural and forestry products, potentially as early as Friday. The move is intended to provide relief to trade-dependent states, including Maine, ahead of the U.S. midterms. However, tariffs on other Canadian goods could rise to offset the reductions.

My ward has the chance to elect a city councillor born in this century! Kevin has put in the work long before he put his name on the ballot. He will be a great city councilor with new ideas for old problems. Bring on the Millennials and Gen Z- it’s there time to lead us.
My community involvement, public policy background, and Stittsville life experience inform me on the actionable solutions we need. This election is an opportunity to break from the old ways at City Hall and send a message on the direction we want to take our community and city.

Don’t worry! In Canada for a kid to actually be able to watch NHL hockey regularly their parents have to spend so much money on various streaming and cable packages there is no money left to gamble.
Kids should be able to watch sports without being bombarded by alcohol and gambling ads. We shouldn't be normalizing addictive products during family entertainment. Let kids enjoy the game without the constant marketing. cbc.ca/news/investigates/gam…

THE OLDEST WOOD BURNING STEAMSHIP IN NORTH AMERICA LIES SILENT ON THE RIDEAU ⚓️ If you have ever travelled by watercraft along the Rideau River near the village of Kars, you may have spotted a derelict old boat quietly languishing in the reeds of the riverbank. Its hull rusting, the paint fading, this nautical relic of the past holds quite a bit of history on its decks…a history that spans over a 120 years. Always curious about this seemingly forgotten ship that has been sitting there for years, here is what I could find about our sadly neglected GHOST SHIP OF THE RIDEAU CANAL… A NEW OTTAWA REWIND STORY: ottawarewind.com/2026/10/22/…

Look if the south is going to call us a socialist hellscape we may as well seize some means of production and do some socialism.
Canada is their customer, make Canada their owner @melaniejoly let the workers run it. Let all of us benefit from it

Larry tried it. He couldn’t make it happen. Everyone was mad. It’s much better for candidates to be honest about what they will be doing with taxes to make sure the city actually delivers the services it is required to deliver.
Larry O'Brien (Ottawa mayor 2006-10) speaks to current zero tax increase election pledge: "It's impossible". He should know, having tried during his term (I was there). #ottcity

The funniest part of the Alberta referendum questions is that I looks like we have, for the first time in Canadian history, democratic approval of the current format for the @SenateCA
