Well, maybe it was their Guess Who costumes for Halloween...
As the lead singer and songwriter/co-writer on The Guess Who's hit songs, I don't know who any of these people are pretending to be the guys behind the records at this meet & greet on Oct 29th, 2023. They never played a note on the records... youtube.com/watch?v=umhz0h0E…

It's called skipping to the bottom of the page. When there's a raging fire, there's at least a few small ones. Which is to say there's enough to presume it's true. Most adults do this...

Literally, no one asked. This isn't a poll.....

Having watched Stop Making Sense in 4k IMAX last night, I wonder what my late film geek pals #jamesrocchi and @JamesBullbrook would have thought of it. This will likely be true for the rest of my life.

As satire, this is brilliant...
🚨 Joe Rogan discusses injecting mosquitos with vaccines ... "They want you to get that damn shot..." "What the f*ck are they doing?...This idea that we're supposed to trust these guys, that they know exactly how everything is going to work out. F*ck off...This is a giant overstep...It's a plot of a horror movie."

Because you never argue with an idiot. Or people who want to take over the government by force. Or idiots. Did I mention the idiot thing?

When at Western, he hosted a lunchtime talk for my department, UCC Programming where he enthused about Shakespeare and how his work was the mass entertainment of the day. I never forgot that or him. RIP Ninian.
R.I.P. to E.N. (Ninian) Mellamphy, who died last night, a few weeks after suffering a stroke (on his way out of the house, going for a walk with his wife Cécile). He was a great Dad, great friend, great prof, and (helping-out a colleague) the 1ˢᵗ translator of Gilbert Simondon.

Why didn't you use the word malarky while you're at it? Such nonsense....
Replying to @GillianCBCfifth
Equity nonsense, again. You moved and expect the CBC to pay more money to cover your move. Enough with the entitlement!

He seems to have taken down this post and replaced it with a more nuanced take.
If you're from elsewhere wondering how the Crave show is going over in Thunder Bay, the retired newspaper publisher is spreading that the doc "provoked hate for our police force, and our city." If you're from here, you know you can ❤️ TBay and still want functioning institutions.

Kind of amazing that he twisted it to make it about hate for the police. This isn't about the police per se. It's about how police culture contributed to this.

Joel Olsteen is one of my favorite televangelist. I listen to his podcast daily. Sooo encouraging. 🙏🏾💜Whatever his possessions are, as long as he came by them honestly, I say hooray for him. I simply love him.

Liar. There is no source for this. And it's widely known to be fake. But you know that, don't you?

As a former Thunder Bay resident I'm glad to see this story told. However I wish they had used real journalists to tell the tale. There's too much self regarding melodrama when in fact the sadness of this story is all that's needed.
The new four-part Crave Original documentary series is produced, written, and co-directed by Anishinaabe journalist Ryan McMahon, who is on a quest to uncover the truth behind the deaths of numerous Indigenous people in Thunder Bay, Ontario. #ThunderBay premieres Feb 17 on Crave.

So I can only presume that you're going to lobby for the end of fire departments, police departments and roads. Or is it only the socialism you don't like? Make up your mind....
86 Democrats voted against a resolution denouncing socialism today. 14 voted present. When people show you who they really are, believe them.

It's time for you to start using all-caps like every other crazy person....
I have been sentenced by @CPOntario to mandatory communications retraining in part because I retweeted @PierrePoilievre. It's time for the commissars there to resign.
