Truth be told, I’m damn sad about the 60 Minutes/Bari Weiss news. That show has been on air almost my entire life, and I grew up watching it with my grandparents (I was a nerdy kid).
My emotional attachment aside, 60 Minutes was a bastion of investigative reporting.
Today is a disgraceful day.

If I hear one more Conservative whine about "the will of the voters". Their guy literally lost an election, lost his seat, then usurped the will of the voters in his new riding so he could manipulate the system to stay on in Parliament. Sit the #%#& down, I tire of the duplicity. #cdnpoli
