Another shot of that scene. Impossible to overstate how impressed my Mom was to see me sitting on TV beside Lloyd Robertson at the newsdesk. #RIPLloydRobertson
Brent Butt@brentbutt.bsky.social · 12h agoSitting at the CTV Newsdesk beside Lloyd Robertson and doing our silly little scene together was one of the finest and most surreal honours of my life. He was our first 'celeb cameo' on Corner Gas, and once he'd done it we were legitimized. Because no one was more legit than him. #RIPLloydRobertson

I suspect Canada would be mucht the same. -The average U.S. or U.K. adult spends 11 cumulative hours engaged with media products every day. This includes overlapping activities, such as using a phone while watching TV or streaming.

Buffalo's biggest edge over other Great Lakes cities is facing west for ocean-style sunsets. T.O. always missed out—until now. Looking west over the water toward the skyline, the new Biidaasige Park finally gives us that magic view. I can see this being the new Riverdale Park. 🌇 (Photo: ave_spadina)
The Toronto Region Board of Trade (TRBOT) used to get city issues right; now they just rubber-stamp Ford's worst impulses. The smart money is on a residential and recreational waterfront—not an industrial one. For the record, I actually use Billy Bishop; I just want a better lakeshore. #YTZ
