Obviously, this #SCTVSaturday will be a tribute to Catherine O'Hara. Over the course of the day. this thread will be links to previous posts, with maybe some new clips later on.
To start, Andrea Martin and Catherine O'Hara talking about writing on SCTV, and the "good old fashioned male chauvinism"

Remember, the difference between gender ale and gender lager is in the fermentation style: gender ale is a top, whereas gender lager is a bottom

Alberta the province is only a political idea. The land on which it sits belongs to the Indigenous folks by way of treaty.

I like Nenshi's suggestion that they identify themselves to voters, or voters should assume that all UCP members/candidates are separatists.

🎵10,000 spoons
I just found out that my spouse makes a PB&J sandwich using the same knife for both toppings, instead of one knife for each separate container.
We've been married for over 16 years. I cannot believe I just discovered this NOW.
Is it 1 knife or 2 when making PB&J? Chime in!

Melania or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Emoluments
The issue isn't whether "Melania" is a good movie or a bad one. It's that one of the richest men in America, with business interests affected by public policy, gave the President's family $75 million to make it. Like that's somehow legal.

I'm normally not a fan of platforming the Alberta separatist types, but when it exposes their extremism in other areas, I think it's a good thing.
