Private media don’t duplicate their work, though some overlap could be trimmed where it does happen. It’s also far more nimble than credited, producing quality tentpole content today with a fraction of the crew it once needed. (2/2) #CBC nationalpost.com/opinion/cbc-...

This is an apples-to-oranges take. CBC/Radio-Canada has one of the broadest public service mandates globally and delivers on a fraction of the budget. (1/2) #CBC nationalpost.com/opinion/cbc-...

Curious about the new typeface, @torontolifemag.bsky.social. It stands well enough on its own, but the change feels a bit unnecessary. The previous design had a timeless quality—nostalgic yet still fresh and contemporary.

What an astounding stat! -Dollywood's railway transports an impressive 5,000 passengers daily—making it the most popular rail experience in Tennessee. In fact, excluding Amtrak’s single daily service, the park accounts for 92% of the state’s rail ridership. thetransitguy.substack.com/p/dolly-part...

I’m pro-union and progressive, but always felt opposition to the community mailboxes was misplaced. Expanding it seemed like a step to preserve weekday delivery. Of course, carve-outs for seniors, etc. But now we face both a strike and a service on the brink. aramammo.substack.com/p/did-we-bre...

History will ask how the U.S. media, particularly its owners, capitulated so quickly to authoritarianism. The adage “It can’t happen here” rings hollow. The better question might be: Is there anywhere else in the free world where it could happen faster? I’m thinking no. www.cnn.com/2025/05/20/m...

A smarter move might be to license the existing contest and stream it ad-free on CBC Gem’s premium tier. It would test real Canadian interest, especially since most fans currently watch via YouTube or unofficial streams. (2/2) #Eurovision www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

If Canada were to enter Eurovision via CBC/Radio-Canada, they’d face a key decision: air it commercial-free, as a true public broadcaster should, or insert ads—if the EBU even permits that. (1/2) #Eurovision www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

Glad PBS isn't losing out — Sesame Street will still premiere there and stream on PBS platforms too. But will Netflix show ads on kids’ content for its ad-tier users? That would go against the spirit of public broadcasting, especially for kids. Hope not. www.tvtechnology.com/news/netflix...

Canadian Tire should consider rebranding—especially now that it owns HBC’s IP. The name hasn’t reflected its full scope in generations. Leveraging Hudson’s Bay/HBC could modernize the brand while tapping into a deeper sense of Canadiana. toronto.citynews.ca/2025/05/15/h...

Union Station’s train shed should be removed or relocated. It’s outdated, unloved, and constraining transit in a major global city. Ironically, Doug Ford could pull it off with no political cost. Heritage matters—but not at the expense of mobility. nexttoronto.substack.com/p/the-union-... #Metrolinx
