I would have thought they would have at least read the list of nominees or put list on one of the screen.  They way Al Pacino read out the winner without even saying "The Oscar goes to" and his delivery of the title Oppenheimer, I was watching and was saying to myself what did they win or was he trying to make a joke or something.  It was very anticlimactic and even the audience didn't seem to realize he had called the winner.

This has been airing on OUT TV in Canada for a couple of years now.  And it might not be what you expect.  It is not all buff people, every body type including those with surgical scars, amputations and mastectomy's have been on.  Every gender expression as been represented.  Binary non-binary and even a couple looking for their unicorn (look it up) to form a throuple.  The followup clips can be quite harsh where the date didn't work, some get ghosted and sometimes the one chosen doesn't show up for the 2-3 week followup session.  It is pretty much a typical dating show but you get to see, how would the British put it, all the naughty bits.   And yes to confirm it's obvious I've watched it.

They are not shutting their TV service.  They are simply under the number of subscribers to require a license from the CRTC.  They will operate as an exempt service until they ever reach the number of TV subscribers that would require them to apply for a license again.  Less CRTC administration for them if the operate as an exempt service.

Orchestrated almost like a prisoner exchange. 

As someone who in the past who has only ever been a member of the Conservative Party or PC Party.  Poilievre has totally lost me.  In fact I would actively work to see the Conservatives defeated in the next election rather than see this DipS!@# become prime minister.  He thinks he is being clever, but he comes across as a teenager who thinks fart jokes are still funny.

Bye bye google search and hello duckduckgo.  Goodbye gmail and hello any number of alternatives.  Goodbye Chrome and hello Firefox because Edge, Opera are just Chromium derivatives.

The only other players would be Stingray and BlueAnt.  Stingray would have to unload certain radio properties to make any deal fly.  BlueAnt might be too small but it would almost be full circle for some of the channels because Michael MacMillon was co-founder of Alliance Atlantis which Canwest bought.  They may have interest in the TV/Specialty side of Corus but not sure they would want to get into radio.  It might be a couple players get together to carve things up if the Shaw family wants to get out of things entirely.

So CBC fires Evan Solomon and CTV picks him up.  CBC hires Vassy Kapelos as his replacement and when Evan leaves CBC, CTV looks no further than CBC to find his replacement.  CBC now has an opening, I wonder are there any big names out there to fill the void.  Hello Lisa are you available?

I started watching CBC and their were times when I won't to say shush to those reporting.  Don't they have earpieces so they can be told when something is happening and turn it back to either the host or just the video.  In the end I turned to BBC World News.  CBC's banner was too big, placed too high and was too distracting.  BBC rightly had no banner, no bug and very limited commentary until after the service.  Even then it was just quiet interjections.   Would have loved to watch a Canadian feed but it felt like they had to brand it.  BBC did it correctly IMHO.

"Let's Talk" about accuracy Bell
"She would be leaving"  - no she was terminated.
"Wrong impression" - no I think the impression was pretty clear however any handpicked "third party" investigator can suggest a different spin
"Regrets the way" - oh yeah we effed up.
"Toxic behaviour" - yeah who are going to turn that lens at - management, I doubt it.

Will this third party report be made public?

I wonder what the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, Canadian Labour Board and/or the CRTC would have to say about an executive who is quoted as saying he "enjoys destroying careers".   I would imagine Bell Media higher ups would be concerned about any of these Federal agencies coming in to study their labour practices.  

Bell - Let's Talk - This ain't right.

The Deadline article specifically says it is moving to Disney+ in the US and Canada.

Well the classical stations must at least break even or else they would go Baroque.

I was at work and remember everyone exiting the building and getting on their cellphones.  I called my mom to tell her not to worry about the power failure, and she wondered how I knew her power was out.  She was more concerned when she learned it was as large as it was.  I lived in a strange pocket of London where the power was out until Saturday morning.  It was strange the lights came on, on the streets around me that evening (14th) and figured mine would be on soon only to continue to wait and wait.  Had to move food from my freezer to my sisters place as it dragged on.
