Avid traveller. Opinionated, multi-lingual, nasty part-owner of Canada. Socially awkward unless drinking.

Low tolerance for stupidity. Metric system only. 24-hour clock. No fractions.

Sciences and money background. Compassionate capitalist.

This year, millions of Canadians made the choice to buy Canadian — and by introducing our new Buy Canadian Policy, so did Canada’s new government.

Here’s to buying more Canadian in 2026.

💪🏻 do we really have to explain why, again?

A group of U.S. alcohol producers claims Canadian retailers are giving unfair advantage to local spirits, including what it calls “discriminatory” markups in Nova Scotia and other provinces.

This is the Global News year-end interview with PM Mark Carney.

Dawna Friesen is a professional. More in the style of the BBC and Christiane Amanpour and less like the two "political correspondent" twats at CBC and CTV chasing clicks and rage-farming.

Thousands of members of the Canadian Armed Forces are spending Christmas away from home – standing on guard for our freedoms, and those of our allies.

In this increasingly dangerous and divided world, we are ever more grateful for your service and sacrifice. Merry Christmas.

Poilievre=F*CK the Indigenous people!
FRIESEN: What if, after those consultations, the answer is still no?
POILIEVRE: The answer is given by the Prime Minister.
F: If the Indigenous leaders say no?

If you're looking for an alternative to Baileys which is owned by a company in the US, then check out Forty Creek Cream which is from Ontario. We bought a bottle last week after I saw the suggestion here on Bluesky. It is fantastic in coffee and hot chocolate. Much more creamier. #BuyCanadian

🇨🇦 SUMMER MCINTOSH

The Canadian swimming star wins the 200m butterfly in a time of 2:02.62. That is the fastest time ever in an American pool.

It’s her third fastest time ever. In fact, McIntosh owns the next three fastest times behind the World Record in this event.

Bailey's alternative.
Bailey's is owned by Diageo. This is the company that just shuttered the Ontario Crown Royal bottling plant in order to move production to the USA.
Corby is partly owned by Pernod Ricard, but this is made in Cowansville, Quebec by Ungava Spirits Co. (bought by Corby in 2016.)
