This is the funniest one of these I've ever seen. The dollar amount. The selection of items. Just posting this image with no caption or context and immediately limiting replies. Thank you for emptying out the glove compartment of a 17 year-old's 2006 Ford Fiesta
Sorry to say this article proceeds from a false premise. The cops spend all of Die Hard eating shit and blowing up their own vehicles on accident. John McClane's heroism doesn't come from being a cop. It comes from being a divorced guy
I think if you are a Canadian bluecheck right now the primary purpose of tweeting about the current protests in America should maybe be to interrogate why police in Toronto and Winnipeg especially get to keep murdering people and there's nowhere near the same outrage

Home Depot, the subject of the shoplifting story making the rounds today, has specifically been been hit with $32 million worth of wage theft lawsuits since 2000. That's a lot of crowbars, hammers, and sledgehammers!
In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered the mould he was working with produced a substance that could kill many common bacteria. He called this new, exciting substance "mould juice". Only after a couple of months did he name it penicillin.

In general I think people who work at the CBC should have few restrictions imposed on what they're allowed to do outside of work but I think volunteering for the cops and helping them beat the shit out of 20-year-old skateboarders should probably be out of the question
@willmenaker
Karl Urban is 50 and he's too tall. The perfect candidate should be in his mid-to-late 30s and under 5'6". The correct answer is therefore Urban's 34 year-old 'The Boys' co-star, 5'4" Haley Joel Osment

Underrated bit of comedy here is posting about a video released in June 2001 and saying "You know what hadn't happened yet? That's right - gender activism and immigration"

On a recent flight I did this to a guy who was considering the Blackberry movie and at the end of the flight after he'd watched 3/4 of it he said it represented engineering really well and told me about the journey of his company building a machine to chop up lobsters
Oafs. Just total oafs. We are being tormented endlessly by guys who would in prior centuries be locally famous for dumping the bread cart over every couple of weeks due to clumsiness and for accidentally inventing new types of boils

Functionally no different from when Canadian Netflix first launched and if you searched for a movie they didn't have it would just recommend Soccer Dog (1999)
@AdamFriedland
You know, the business press is quite clear about this - women are understood in many ways, especially in a globalised market after NAFTA, as consumers primarily. A great deal follows from the inference that, in fact, they be shopping
@HollyBell8
I decided to look up Guangzhou aerial photos myself and came across this pretty soothing YouTube where someone flies a drone over what looks like the source of this badly-retouched image. Anyway, thanks for retiring from teaching
My other takeaway this morning is that
@triadonaldson
ran a great campaign in Regina-Lewvan. She made a Tory incumbent with a safe majority put up a real fight and reversed a decade of declining NDP vote share in her riding by having real principles & beliefs. She should be proud
🎵 One, two Michaels stand before you
That's what I said now
Michaels you traded for Meng Wanzhou
That's what I said now
This one helps North Korea reach out
That's what I said now
This one works for a NATO cutout
So just go ahead now 🎶
What surprised me skimming the paper is the claim that the provincial population would swell to nearly 1.5 million by 2035. One, that's quadruple the rate of previous growth. Two, who'd be moving to this supposedly tanking economy?

At DQ I would freak out in the cooler that stored all the restock candy for Blizzards for no reason at all, certainly not because scooping a little cup full of cookie dough or Skor pieces into my hand and eating it on my way out was a psychological healing item
Two solid minutes of the kind of pretentious dweeb who showily adopts the British "bloody" into his vocabulary being repeatedly philosophically and factually wrong about one of the most widely studied people from the most widely studied period of the 20th century

Nazis are allowed on here but you can't post Eric's own tweet at him, and frankly, those rules strike me as very sensible
Cool, Regina cops are now wasting everyone's time and money going around shooing homeless people away any time a couple of them pitch a tent together. That'll solve homelessness for sure.
Masters appearing on Gormley and reportedly refusing to talk to other outlets about this before today's council meeting is neat because she's dropped any pretense of being a nonpartisan technocrat with a big-tent vision for change. She's a Gormley Mayor.
in 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' (2019), the camera was intentionally placed upside down during the Leap of Faith scene to show that Miles is rising, not falling🕷
Not enough people will credit 🍞📈
@ChalicothereX
🍞📈 for being ahead of the curve but Mayor Pete confirming he worked with Loblaws makes the earlier find in Pete's book an incredible slam dunk. My brain is overloading right now
"Lithuanian immigrants need to accept that one of them drops into the grinder every once in a while or the price of beef will rise!" -Toronto Star, 1907
A possible strike at one of Canada’s largest meat-processing plants will almost certainly increase beef prices for consumers on a product that is already prohibitively expensive for a growing number of Canadians.
Right off the bat in this morning's interview with Mayor Masters,
@SLangeneggerCBC
pressed her on the proposed police budget increase. Masters' response was odd: she said the cops had seen zero-percent increases "several times" since 2011. Seemed wrong!
Banks are pushing back on mortgage deferrals, businesses are wigging out about having to foot 90% of payroll in a total economic collapse, & 500k people signed up for EI, and all Trudeau did today was tell maybe 20,000 refugees to get fucked
Reporting on ideas like this should include an obligatory info box outlining programs cuts, budget reductions, and other austerity measures undertaken by the same government in the past 24 months so we can see what's been killed in favour of custom provincial cop car wraps
@GarbageApe
"Everything in movies is meant to be a full moral guide and taken at face value as an endorsement" is literally the justification the Manson family use at the end of the film to justify the murders they plan to commit

@veryimportant
"Divorced" is a state of mind as much as a legal construct, and in the Die Hard series of films, John McClane is what professionals refer to as "ruthlessly divorced"
“The notion that the two Michaels would have been involved in espionage activities only perpetuates the false narratives under which they were detained by China,” Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says as she comments on Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig detention.
#cdnpoli
Going insane that the city is saying we are already doing as much as we possibly can for homeless people and we must now turn our attention to the desperately underfunded pickeball community.
Bresciani: On pickleball, there's money for outdoor courts. If there's a determination from pickleball community to look at an outdoor facility & moving some courts indoor, where's that?

*last conscious thought as I'm being intubated* I regret that I picked Teresa the spinach tortellini... I told myself it was because they were out of the roasted red pepper and sundried tomato, but really I shoulder the blame
