That said, the customer service is excellent, and the t-shirts are a lot of fun.

Disappointed that these t-shirts I ordered from Peace Love Canada were made in Haiti, not in Canada.

And waking you up this morning on The Early Edition with something a little bit different. A mash-up of an acapella version of a song and the original.
The vocal-only version is making the rounds online and turned up in the trailer for "The Smashing Machine."
Know who it is yet?

The last time I went down south they were converting courses to links to severely reduce water consumption and maintenance needed. Maybe time to do that up north too.

A promotional photo from the original cast of the Canadian satirical news comedy series *This Hour Has 22 Minutes* (premiered 1993 on CBC), featuring four cast members seated at a curved black desk with subtle underlighting, wearing business attire (suits and ties for the men, a dark blazer for one woman and a gray suit for the other). The background is a modern broadcast set in dominant shades of blue and purple, with angled panels, circular light fixtures on the walls, built-in shelves, and a large illuminated world globe projection integrated into the rear wall.
