Sadly, I found myself unemployed at the end of October and am now searching for my next PR role in Halifax.
If you have leads, introductions, or are willing to share this post, I’d be grateful!

In possibly the most Ottawa thing ever, I just found out the Bier Markt has an homage to mannekin pis, but they've put a fig leaf on him.

Since Christmas is around the corner, a reminder that Wikipedia has a store. And the profits go to a project billionaires hate, so you're buying an object and getting free spite.
Classic Collection
Inspired by infoboxes, blue hyperlinks, talkpages, and everything that makes Wikipedia unique, this collection features new and well-loved designs, reimagined.

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

Feel bad for Keegan Bradley. He may have made some mistakes but doesn't deserve this sort of beatdown.

My husband (a Newfoundlander) just went to pay a bill for work we had done on the house.
The company owner, also a Newfoundlander, says he wants to give him something.
Husband figures it'll be a company hat, a pen.
But no. It's a bag of frozen moose sausages.
Moose sausages > a hat 😂

Let's cheer the Canadian women dominating world rugby. They had to crowd source to raise the money to even get into the tournament. Nobody took them seriously. They crushed the New Zealand giants. They are going into the finals.
Come on fellow Canucks - is the real miracle team.
So proud.

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.
