In addition to rum, moonshine and peanut butter whiskey, this raccoon at a Virginia liquor store also got into some vodka and eggnog. If you have not tried it, peanut butter whiskey “is excellent,” a PR manager for the store said. The raccoon apparently agreed. trib.al/XurZIQv

Lorraine Complains: What if buying a TV were like buying a car?

Too many trans and 2-spirit folks are dying or going missing in their 20s. The pervasive hatred that we ‘politely’ ignore underwrites the violence & neglect that ends their lives too early. Promise yourself that 2026 will be the year that you intervene any time you hear or see transphobia.

This is an incompetent company. They have a huge responsibility that they’re just dumping on citizens. Not one of their ‘customers’ would be excused by a corporation if they experienced major life disruptions and expected financial leniency.
Time for public ownership.

Basically living in a news desert here in New Brunswick. Our 3 major newspapers are owned by Postmedia. CTV Atlantic usually features bad takes by the Fraser Institute, Cdn Taxpayers Federation and CFIB. CBC NB is mostly human interest stories and not news.

Comforting to know there are poor countries that will still take our garbage (clothing, electronics, plastic, etc.) so we can keep this endless cycle of consumption going.
