Ha, I love the sauce on that headline.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with these people? You go from being the "law and order" party to being the party of one of the biggest con men of the past century.

As if Smith gives a single shit what Albertans or anyone except her O&G backers want.

A Vancouver woman is asking for the courts to make an example of her neighbour, a practising lawyer she alleges has filed a baseless pseudolegal lawsuit against her in an attempt to “provoke a state of fear.”

Lip injections. Not once has looking like you just got hit in the mouth with a hockey puck helped someone look better.

You have forgotten the meaning of remembrance if you think the point is to glorify war. It’s meant to remember the sacrifices made, not hope for more.

That’s pretty wild actually. Can’t imagine that many of these votes are near unanimous.

An oil executive who is also the Alberta Foundation of the Arts chair becomes a one-man board for a Banff institution. Province doesn't explain why it fired the board but expressed hope to bring a "refreshed future."

This is the exact anti-science, anti-community garbage that would come out of a Poilievre government, guaranteed. "We're all in this together" doesn't apply to extremely selfish conservatives who get all their news from outrage-bait like Ezra Levant or Fox News.

From climate change to vaccinations to women's rights against forced birth to the cbc, this guy has the worst possible takes on all of them and he will be an absolute disaster in Canada.

What an absolute shitshow the Republican party is, just a complete mess.

Who would have thought that hatred, arrogance and ignorance aren’t great traits to have in elected officials?

A pair of Conservative MPs will try to compel a CBC executive and a journalism standards director to appear before a House of Commons committee to defend the company's language guide — which discourages the use of the words "terrorism" and "terrorists" when describing attacks and their perpetrators.

While I would tend to agree, if I'm reading this correctly, they sent the letters for the sentencing... meaning he was already convicted of rape and they were pleading for leniency for an old rapist buddy, like within the last few months. That is a really bad look no matter how you slice it.

Great, now do the Scientologist pricks that protected him for years and threatened his victims.

Holy shit. Jokes aside, if this is real it’s a damn shame. It’s actually insane that he would get killed for a scientific experiment. Why would anyone want to be involved in science in Russia if this is how they deal with failure? It’s no small feat to land on the fucking moon.

David Zaslav is head of Warner Bros. Discovery. He took over recently after the merger and proceeded to make a bunch of unpopular decisions regarding everything and made life worse for all employees and fans. He cancelled a million projects mid-stream including a fully finished batwoman movie to get a tax write off. He also gutted Discovery when he became CEO awhile back, taking it from education based to reality tv garbage because that makes more money apparently. He’s basically a real life Jack Donahue from 30 Rock.

It seems GQ wrote an article about how nobody in the industry likes him and then it got pulled.

Now you’re up to speed.
