What exactly is #ICE
#CBC
📣 Canadian indie authors, musicians, filmmakers—your thoughts?
I just shared a proposal for a new radio/podcast series:
🎧 Indie Thread — spotlighting indie creators from across film, music, and literature, one theme at a time.
Indie authors are too often left out. This pitch is one way to change that. Would love your input—and maybe your signal boost. ✍️🎶🎬

And now you know the REAL reason the twice-impeached #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump left in haste on Monday: he didn't want to face #Zelenskyy and #Sheinbaum

Trump's departure means he will miss time with the non-G7 leaders attending the summit Tuesday, including #Indian Prime Minister #NarendraModi, #Mexican President #ClaudiaSheinbaum and #Ukrainian President #VolodymyrZelenskyy.

I spent a bit of time watching stuff on CBC Gem. Some reviews:
"Brother". Highly recommended movie. I read the book, and the film does a good job bringing it to life. Drama about two brothers growing up in Scarborough during the 80s & 90s.
"Delta Dawn". Short documentary about a female wrestler. Fabulous.
"The Marvellous Mrs Maisel". Comedy Drama, TV series (5 seasons). I loved the first season. Liked the second. By the third I felt the writers were taking too many liberties with some of the characters; so I stopped watching.
"North Of North". Comedy drama, TV series (1 season). Great. Highly recommended.
"The Porter". TV series (1 season). Historical drama set in Canada a hundred years ago. It took me a couple of episodes to get into it, but once I did, I was hooked. It's great. Special bonus is the fabulous actress who plays the mob boss is the same actress from the movie "She Never Died" (which also can be found on CBC Gem). Great stuff. Shame the series only went for one season.
"Small Achievable Goals". Comedy series. I was a big fan of "The Baroness Von Sketch Show", so I was excited to give this series a try (it features two of the stars from the Baroness show). But no, it just didn't appeal to me.
The CBC shows once again that it dare not be outdone by the BBC's antisemitism!

A car was dropped from a plane for an ad—but the parachute failed
"Then everyone went silent. The car's chute wasn't opening. The car started falling a lot faster than the skydiver. Everyone just stared as the MGB smashed to the ground.
The skydiver landed beside the brand-new MGB, which was now a completely flattened pancake."

This analysis needs to be done for #CBC also.
I just caught the first half of #CBC radio news at 6pm: "World Report"...half was all I could stomach.
it's coverage (or not) of major world events today was..... very disappointing.
I wonder what proselytizing #CBC will do today for the flaccid and unelectable PP of Canada.

Former prime minister #JeanChretien says dignitaries attending next week's #G7 leaders summit in #Alberta should avoid engaging with the "crazy" from U.S. President #DonaldTrump.
#Chretien, speaking Thursday at a conference in #Calgary, said leaders can't predict what #Trump might do, but said Trump can be a bully and it would be best if the rest of the G7 leaders ignored any outbursts.
