I moved to Canada a decade ago. For @theglobeandmail.com, I wrote about the ten plays and musicals that made me understand what it means to live in this country – and, in my case, to stay here. www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/stag...

I left the U.S. for Canada a decade ago. These plays and musicals taught me what it means to be Canadian

These works made me fall in love with the Great White North

If anyone can get the Factory Theatre back on its feet (creatively, economically, physically), it’s Kevin Matthew Wong. I spoke with the new A.D. (and toured the venue) last week for @torontolifemag.bsky.social. He was refreshingly frank about the challenges. torontolife.com/culture/kevi...

“There are about five leaks that I’m addressing immediately”: Factory Theatre’s artistic director Kevin Matthew Wong has a huge job ahead of him - Toronto Life

The storied theatre company is going through a financial crisis, a building crisis and an identity crisis. Thankfully, the new boss loves a challenge

Wile E. Coyote is doing a reddit AMA right now for Coyote vs ACME and strictly answering through signs, and it's genius.

Turning bike lanes into car lanes is one of the worst uses of tax dollars imaginable.

The CBC reporter said that the City estimated that it could cost up to $48M to remove the lanes!!

(Cdn) Corbin Smith has been a mensch in #Toronto music/comedy/ #TheaTO scenes for 20+ years: photog, journo, supporter, volunteer, etc. A chaotic series of events -TBI, unjust firing during a work trip, baseless countersuit- could bankrupt him if he can't pay legal fees. Pls donate/share. #CdnCult

It’s actually genuinely so nice @mayoroliviachow.ca came out to our bike lane rally in Toronto. The city isn’t real constitutionally but at least you know the mayor is as pissed as the rest of us.

I’m going to flip the usual complaint on its head and say that if you’re an American who’s been making an effort to understand the Canadian perspective, thank you. I know it’s not often easy. There’s going to be a lot of emotion in your feed this weekend. Good luck and thanks.

🧵 My Zanzibar story: In University I got stuck in Toronto without enough money for a bus home. My TO friend's brother was head bouncer and he thought I could get a day job there to earn the cash. His brother said yes but I had to work as a bouncer. I am not big but I was desperate so ya.

TORONTO (July 28, 2026) – Prime Video and Rogers Communications today announced a 12-year agreement for Prime Video in Canada to exclusively broadcast Wednesday night regular-season national NHL games in English and French, beginning with the 2026-2027 season.

Last RT: Blood donations are down in Canada, too, so if you're able to help out I know it would be greatly appreciated. The need is real, the pretzels are free.

obviously Facebook is a cesspool but it is still good for things like connecting you with other people who were there that time Bikini Kill played a warehouse in Philadelphia and they made everyone stop jumping and sit down so the floor didn’t collapse

I've just seen about 40 kids sneak into watch 'The Odyssey' without paying by hiding in a giant wooden coat.
