I got the same survey from Thermea as this person. The first few questions were spa-related, but then there was the one about “purity of our country”. I did not finish it, and I don’t think that I as an immigrant will feel ok going to Thermea again.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

A few more photos from tonight’s incredible #aurora. I’m fascinated by the amount of red light tonight. This is generated by oxygen molecules being excited by light plasma at least 600 km above the Earth. The green is also oxygen molecules, but much lower (100-250km). Definitely a great night.

This chart would look great next to the one titled 2025 Typical Municipal Residential Property Value Across Canada

Here’s a surprise — they’re actually the lowest among major Canadian cities for a typical home.

I’ll be sharing more info about how Winnipeg stacks up ahead of the November 14 city budget.

If you're mad about Daylight Saving Time, you could blame Benjamin Franklin, who first suggested the practice in 1784.

His cheeky theory was that if people rose with the summer sun, they wouldn’t have to buy so many candles.

Let your lower paraffin bills comfort you today.
