Yes it is extremely weird for the CBC to be spending public dollars this way but I think I am most offended by the fact that the whole thing sounds criminally unfunny

that CBC-funded “prank” didn’t just target pundits. In @Quillette, I report on their efforts to mock a humble 82-yr-old Brockville granddad who enjoys 19th-c historical re-enanctments. Producers repeatedly lied to him for months, then exploited his trust quillette.com/2026/05/15/a-d…

The thing I keep coming back to about the claim Israel has trained dogs to rape prisoners: If true, shouldn’t every news organization (and researcher, animal behaviourist, etc.) be pursuing this groundbreaking discovery: that dogs can be trained to perform interspecies sexual assault? That what was once thought to be a biological instinct can actually be coerced? It would be an astounding discovery

Kind of wild that Canada didn't even attempt a postmortem after Covid, especially since we know that compliance with restrictions will be a lot lower the next time around. I guess our strategy is to hope this doesn't get out of control. Wheee!

Not only has Ottawa not been tracking when temporary residents enter and exit the country, it also opted against taking enforcement action in cases (~800) where fraud has clearly been identified theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

I’m not sure if this specific plane ever made sense, but a government leader who wasn’t petrified of criticism could’ve at least attempted to make the case that a private aircraft for the premier is in fact economically justified. But Doug Ford is much too cowardly
