Two things that will make me change the radio station instantly while driving:

1) the sound of Wheeler's voice
2) the commercial with the crowing rooster

Find someone who puts you on a pedestal the way that Trump does to Putin
"The US president tossed aside maps of the frontline in Ukraine, insisted Zelenskyy surrender the entire Donbas region to Putin, and repeatedly echoed talking points the Russian leader had made in their call a day earlier"

Trump urged Zelenskyy to accept Putin’s terms or be ‘destroyed’ by Russia

Just because leagues charge ludicrous prices doesn't mean you have to pay them. Watch on TV, it's the same game
And after Calgary misses a field goal attempt to tie the game with zeros on the scoreboard, the Bisons hang on to win a nail biter of a game, 33-31.

The Bisons are headed to the playoffs!
At halftime it's 13-10 Calgary after a very inconsistent but entertaining first half for the Bisons.

I swear USports football is the most underrated sports product in Canada.
The Saturday chores and tasks can wait, there is a football game being played. With playoff implications. #HornsUp
I think the Woodlands office is/was farther west?

I remember that corner best as the home of Kenko Sushi, home to many dates with my eventual wife
"Frank Lloyd Wrong" lmao
Jerry Gray was called Frank Lloyd Wrong in architecture school so he switched to management. He taught in business at the University of Manitoba and later became Dean. After retiring, he was chair of the WRHA and Friends of Upper Fort Garry #RIP passages.winnipegfreepress.com/passage-deta....
I'm not sure what's going on and this may end up being for the better, but in a city with so few strips of walkable retail storefronts, it hurts to lose any.
I remember being at Portage Place on the day it opened in 1987. Optimism was bubbling over so much that no one could have imagined something like this happening less than 40 years later.
... And the light rain in the second half, mixed with an uninspiring performance by the home team sent many fans in the sellout crowd home early too.

The fans who left early did miss a last second game winning field goal by the Bombers, though.

It wasn't pretty, but a win's a win. #ForTheW
It was a late arriving crowd for the 7:00 start, but the people eventually showed up
Behold the AI-generated subway map of #Winnipeg.

What the hell is Lyaire, though? And why are there two Polo Parks? And who is St. Forks?
It's like a Saturday Night Live skit, except it's real

Why I'd never ever vote for a party led by Pierre Poilievre, exhibit three million
Checked out ex-CBC host Travis Dhanraj's new video podcast Can't Be Censored with co-host Karmen Wong.
First ep was with Pierre Poilievre - and I was struck by how limited the Conservative leader is by his inability to restrain his rhetoric. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4SV...

Putin always plays Trump like a fiddle
The old Winnipeg Stadium, with its baseball field appended to a football stadium, has to have been one of the weirdest configurations for a multipurpose stadium of all time
What a fantastic illustrated postcard of the old stadium, the old ballpark, and the old arena #winnipeg
Given that 662,000 people live in Vancouver, it can't be too "almost impossible"
The City took away the cars, then they took away the buses... Huge shocker that Graham is suffering.
This would have been an improvement over Memorial Park, but at the same time, Main Street needs that municipal government presence. Otherwise, skid row would reach right down to Bannatyne.
