Global was an early supporter but dropped it. The show would have died if it weren't for an independent station in Edmonton, whose owner was a fan.

I will curse Bezos but I may have to subscribe to Amazon prime for a month
Another American democratic pillar, built over decades and centuries, crumbles within a year.
Don’t know how Carney resists calling an election
Just amazing innovation presented at the National Indigenous Connectivity Conference in Calgary the last two days. Well worth a look. drive.google.com/file/d/1y0w5...
Important thread from a key voice on media consolidation. Spoiler: it's bleak. As Leonard Cohen said "You want it darker..."
And here it is. My oh my.
Need to see a few more polls like this before I believe this is real.
all true.
...and so much of this is the direct result of a poorly functioning media system. Think of how Canada dodged a bullet with the collapse of SUN News Network. We have far more pressing concerns in Alberta than our currently snoozing bear population.
I'm still on the other side of these stats. After all this, 40% of Americans approve. That's disturbing.
call me crazy but 60% disapproval seems bad. time for ny times to jump on aoc for saying "uh" www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
canada is certainly the better team here.
that hurts.
already a great game.

All of these discussions in Alberta need to begin with the question: "When will you bring in a provincial sales tax like every other province? Then we can talk." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
incredible game
Canada lucky to get out of this period with a lead. Great game.
I hope Ontario bar legend David Wilcox is being well paid for use of his song "Do the Bearcat" in these Olympic ads.
A snowstorm in Alberta always serves as a reminder of why we pay taxes. No provincial sales tax here but don't expect your roads to be cleared of snow any time soon.
The current President literally does this daily and it is ignored. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Loved Robert Duvall in Network among many. He could steal a movie in 5 minutes. RIP
I wonder if U.S. tech Barons anticipated this when they all attended Trump's inauguration and paid for his new ballroom? theconversation.com/europe-wants...
Reposting for daytime Bluesky. I crunched the numbers on CBC's Winter Games Opening Ceremonies broadcast and counted over 15 minutes of ads in the first hour.
A full third of the 40-minute artistic section before the athletes entered was blocked by ads.

The word "only" is used a little too loosely here in my view. That's a lot of Americans who have no problem with a police state.
Telecom policy stuff: glad to see the licenses for the residual spectrum auction are for ten years. I wrote several times in submissions over the years trying to convince the government the previous 20 year licenses were an eternity.
Recent ISED 5G spectrum auction dominated by Telus. Bell largely holds steady. www.iphoneincanada.ca/2026/02/08/t...
this is interesting.
If ever we needed more evidence of the crucial importance of public media, just look to the Washington Post today. Tragic.
