omgosh. Yes, I’m rooting for that adorable baby loon 😥

Gorgeous! Well done, all involved :D

Fascism and democracy not compatible, more news at 6

RBs beat the 2-0 Stamps at home, impressive

Hopefully Chad Kelly’s back soon lol
May the match versus the Lions tonight be a good one!

Argos in shambles rn. Maybe a chance for a win against the Redblacks next week

Yup. I also think big money realizes it can do whatever it wants now (post-COVID; grocery price-gouging, Palestine genocide, Trump and ICE, etc). People just take it these days. A good part of that is they don’t know any better, because of the highly-biased infotainment they consume and regard as news, either in the mainstream media or social media

Thursday’s match should be fun! The Als and Riders might surge to 2-0 this week. I’m hoping the Argos can win and redeem themselves after last week’s loss to the Als
Go football!

I live in Toronto and can speak to what’s happening here. The financialization of housing is to blame. Most new builds are condos, many units are smaller than most people would want to have a family in.

https://thehub.ca/2025/05/17/chart-storm-five-graphs-on-torontos-historic-condo-market-collapse/

Some of the condo units for sale in Toronto are about 550 square feet, are cheaply made, have poor layouts and are listed for over $760,000; small, subpar quality, and expensive.

The quantity of unsold completed units has more than doubled compared to last year, marking the highest level of unsold completed units in Toronto since the first quarter of 1993. Experts at the real estate think tank Urbanation anticipate that the increase in completed and unsold inventory will persist in 2025, with an additional 2,411 unsold units expected to be finished by the close of 2025.

So what’s being built is designed to meet investor interests but not community needs.

These units are also listed at incredibly high prices, so that if interest rates drop a bit, units lose the value they are listed at pre-construction, and quickly become negative assets from the perspective of a homeowner versus a long-term investor.

And all this is market-priced housing, not the subsidized housing we desperately need in addition to affordable and adequate market-based housing.

Affordable housing was a non-partisan issue before the financialization of housing in Canada in the 1990s

I love Dogg Bowl. It’s clever and it’s funny because it doesn’t hit; i.e., a dog bowl is not impressive-sounding

The head of the province’s NDP government was the lone dissident during the first ministers meeting in Saskatoon this week when Premier of Saskatchewan Scott Moe gifted all the attendees their very own custom Riders jersey.

As an Ontarian, I often have premier envy of Kinew. To be among idiots like Moe, Smith, and Ford and still show principles and representation of his province and people - right on!

I was really intrigued by the Bombers hand gesture mentioned in the headline. It wasn’t as original as I was hoping. But I will remember it. I’m in Toronto and have some family in Saskatchewan. When next I go to SK, I’m planning on dressing out in Bombers’ gear and trolling locals as much as I can 😂

The franchise re-embracing their racist slur former team name lost 31-14 to the Lions! 1 down, 21 losses to go!

Agreed. Montreal did look good! Toronto not so much…

What an embarrassment to the CFL and Canada. I like sports as a break from the depressing signs of how fast society has started going backwards in terms of progress. I liked Tre Ford. Now, I guess I have a team to root against. Edmonton 0-22 this season, let’s go!!!

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I’m pretty sure I viewed this post when it still had the original CBC link, with the CBC headline preserved in the post title. I think this poster is getting tripped up by the Lemmy issue whereby adding a post image deletes the URL. Maybe the user then supplies their own title instead of the ‘copy suggested title’

The bright side is that for viewers in Canada CFL+ exclusivity ends when preseason does

I see you’re off-instance, so just so you know we have a fledgling [email protected] community on here

Israeli troops fire ‘warning shots’ at 25 diplomats visiting occupied West Bank: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/21/israeli-troops-fire-warning-shots-25-diplomats-visiting-occupied-west-bank

Shots force delegation representing 31 countries, including Italy, Canada, Egypt and UK, to run for cover

In plain English: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - A Canadian (born in Toronto ON and grew up in Hamilton ON) - was recognized as the best basketball player this year in the world’s most elite men’s basketball league (NBA). He plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder professionally. He also plays for Team Canada. In a wider sense, he represents an ongoing emergence of basketball talent in this country at the highest level that is decades in the making. Canada’s Men’s Basketball team is going to be stacked for a while. Canada’s Women’s Basketball has been globally dominant for a while.

The Redblacks’ unis might be the nicest of those Signature ones imo (but they’re ranked last - to your point about the rankings 🙃). I like the new designs the Riders released last year, although it was a pretty minor rebranding. I think the Lions’ black unis are sweet
