SOWNY » How Rogers And The CRTC Are Sidelining Canadian Soccer » Yesterday 10:59 am |
Every Canadian soccer team's (men and women) games that have World Cup, Gold Cup, FIFA or CONCACAF implications need to be fully accessible to fans on platforms most of them have access to...this is a matter of national pride and importance...the Canadian Soccer Association has a track record of fucking things up enormously and chasing dollars from OneSoccer, Fubo, etc, because of their idiotic management decisions over the years....same thing is happening with Toronto FC...they are alienating fans and thinking they can match European clubs with pay per view and subscription platforms...Canada and the MLS are not on that level.
SOWNY » Your Vote Doesn't Count? Think Again! » April 30, 2025 12:44 pm |
...at least nine candidates had won their seats by fewer than 500 votes. Underscoring how much every vote can matter in tight races, two of these ridings were decided by fewer than 40 ballots....
SOWNY » Greg Brady Back On AM640 Starting Next Monday » April 29, 2025 11:16 am |
640 is simply loaded with losing...Brady returns to shed some right wing tears with his MAGA listeners and Ben 'E-Talk PM's son' Mulroney will be eating leftover crow for a week...good on them.

SOWNY » Are celebrity endorsements allowed in Canadian political ads? » March 24, 2025 11:02 am |
This ad works well as it's hokey enough to resonate with a lot of Canadians, it's timed right with Trump about to hit Canada with even more tariffs and his 51st state bullshit and it's Mike Myers, hard to find folks that dislike a Canadian guy that played Shrek, Wayne's World and Austin Powers...agreed that these celebrity endorsements don't have the impact some people think they do...but I bet Gord Downie embracing Trudeau in 2016 didn't hurt Justin at all...

SOWNY » Brian Lilley Attacks The CRTC On CFRB » February 27, 2025 3:02 pm |
Lilley is a right wing purveyor of bullshit....spewing propaganda for the American controlled Chatham Asset Management, owner of the Post Media conglomerate in Canada and who are firmly entrenched in the MAGA world and are no strangers to criminal bond fraud...CFRB having this tool on as a guest host proves they're hiding nothing in their clearly biased stance as a broadcasting entity....CFRB has lost any credibility it had left and that was basically nothing anyway.

Should be replaced with "How to be an Influencer 101" - includes building your personal brand through bullshyt lies and testimonials, a lame ass podcast and website, building social media channels using AI and filters for content generation, to enhance your crap, and grow your bot audience, a Youtube channel, and how to make money through fooling your audiences with clickbait.

I, on the other hand, liked it.
I agree with you. It was very well done, I laughed many times.
Ditto...I LOL'd a few times...Eddie Murphy's impression of Tracy Morgan was hilarious...Will Ferrell as Big Red in a sketch with Murphy fantastic...also, Meryl Streep as an alien abductee, Robert DeNiro, Martin Short, Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Cher, Keith Richards, etc...all A-listers making appearances...very good stuff overall....it also triggered the snowflake MAGA crowd when Hanks came out as a redhat...but we all know SNL is woke as shit and the good ole white boy, rednecks have a hard time with that.
SOWNY » Super Bowl Ratings Take A Hit On CTV/TSN » February 11, 2025 11:32 am |
Game was over at halftime...then the halftime show was polarizing whether you hated it, liked it or loved it...I switched the channel halfway through the 3rd quarter...a bet a lot of people did...it was a brutal takedown, non-competitive game.
SOWNY » Friday Feb. 7th on 1010 Brian Lilley In For Jerry Agar » February 7, 2025 6:15 pm |
Two of the biggest annoying a-holes in Canada right now are Lilly and Poilievre...they make chalkboard scratching sound like Beethoven...CFRB has been in a shit spiral for years...but having the guy that purveys freedom convoy bullshit for a rag that is owned by a MAGA investment firm and who sleeps with Doug Ford's mouthpiece as a fill-in host is worse than Arthur Fonzarelli jumping great whites on his motorcycle...what a fucken joke.
SOWNY » The PM will address the Nation, But » February 3, 2025 11:29 am |
I thought Trudeau's speech was excellent...it hit the right tones and played on Canadian patriotism and sovereignty, our close ties with the USA and how we have stood by them in times of need, and the fact Trump started this and we cannot simply lay down to the orange buffoon and his MAGA cult morons...if you're a Canadian and still support Trump for this attack on our economy that could upend the lives of tens of thousands of Canadians, then fuck off and move your ass to South Carolina you traitor.
SOWNY » Schools closed because of storm » January 29, 2025 12:00 pm |
Some boards have set up an alert system with their transportation providers....the second the buses are cancelled...you get a notification - email or text....you can also go to a schools website or social media accounts first thing in the morning to see if the buses have been cancelled...there are options and there is no need to sit there and wait to see or hear your kid's school to be called out on TV or radio.
SOWNY » CBC's Marketplace and The Fifth Estate Have A BIG Pet Peeve » January 27, 2025 2:39 pm |
Vets know they got you by the ballz the second you walk in their door...how many people would simply put their animal down without first trying the hundreds if not thousands of dollars in remedies the vet says might or might not work...pretty much anyway you slice it a trip to the vet is a minimum $300 ordeal in many places, then it goes up from there....the visit, xrays, drugs, tests, special food that they control...they are playing on your emotions and it's fricken borderline evil.

Any event that draws over 350,000 spectators to 1 venue in 1 city over 6 days would garner huge coverage...never mind the spin off parties and huge, positive economic impact on the community...Swift is clearly the largest musical talent on Earth right now...her numbers alone live up to the hype.

SOWNY » Opinion Piece: AM Radio's Days Are Over » October 7, 2024 9:43 am |
It's typical of human activity...hang on to things that worked in another era cause they are comfortable and nostalgic to you...AM radio has become a beacon for older generations and (especially in parts of the USA) a vessel to spew evangelical/religious and right-wing bullshit propaganda that caters to those over 65+...they remember AM radio as a key part of how they received and consumed entertainment and information...those days are gone and the ratings numbers don't lie...fewer are listening and even fewer of those people are under 55 years old...it's slowly but surely dying and nothing will stop the grim reaper from eventually showing up.
SOWNY » No CHCH News at 6 today » October 7, 2024 9:34 am |
CHCH did the right thing...a news team/crew is more than the anchors and weather people...they are just a piece of it...the folks behind the camera are every bit as important and need to be acknowledged as well....a person died on set and you shouldn't simply 'go on with the show'.
SOWNY » Anybody Want To Produce At 640?? » October 3, 2024 3:07 pm |
I did that job...I would suggest taking up finish carpentry before applying for that gig these days...pretty much any job at Corus for that matter...unless you're part of an outside legal/accounting/hr agency team that will oversee its inevitable bankruptcy/liquidation...if I sound bitter it's because I am...fuck Corus.

SOWNY » CBS Using New Viewer Innovation For U.S. V.P Debate » September 30, 2024 1:56 pm |
I like this idea too...the bullshit that can be spread to millions of people in a second without any proof points is palpable...for example, I now know for certain that cats and dogs and other pets are being eaten by Haitian immigrants in Ohio and that Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, is a real stand up guy thanks to Trump's participation in the last Presidential candidates debate!

Just about to mention this...Newsmax may end up on the verge of financial insolvency when it settles out of court for their idiocy as Fox did...and when Trump finally disappears the right-wing popularity of Fox and Newsmax will wane...it was the MAGA cultists that boosted the network's popularity over the past 6 years more so than anything else.
SOWNY » SXM in Vehicle » September 17, 2024 9:44 am |
When you shop for a new vehicle the specifications sheets on the OEM/company's websites should tell you which model/trim comes with SXM...or you can call any dealer and speak with a salesperson....just make sure you know the exact model and trim you are looking for to make things easier.

Nice article....Murdoch will go down in history as the overlord of a media empire responsible for mayhem, conspiratorial bullshit, utter lies and the destruction of relationships...he gave voice and a platform of 'legitimacy' to so many TV talking head racists, assholes and cringe worthy personalities...the negative impact on society and families in general is palpable at the very least...fvck him.
SOWNY » Another assassination attempt on Trump is thwarted » September 16, 2024 1:00 pm |
If you're on the left of the political spectrum the last thing you want is for Trump to die any time soon...personally these 'assassination attempts' don't pass the smell test to me, seem staged, and have been linked to right wing nut jobs with assault guns...Democrats want to see Trump alive so he can get thoroughly destroyed in the upcoming election, watch him claim it was rigged to add to the embarrassment, maybe cause another Jan 6 debacle and then see him go away forever, locked up in prison for the crimes he's guilty of....he needs to live for bit longer.

SOWNY » Pardon the Interruption » September 13, 2024 1:42 pm |
This is more common than listeners realize...when I was at MOJO 640/Q107/Edge the egos in the studio and halls were palpable...Derringer, Humble and Fred, Scruff, Krystal, etc., big time morning shows, seasoned news people and DJs...there was jealousy and paranoia all over the place and it was clear some folks couldn't care for others....they either avoided each other completely or if the had to co-exist, especially on-air for any amount of time, the uncomfortableness was clearly felt in the studio and over the air...I'm gonna go out on a short limb and speculate that Kelly thinks Oakley is a tool.
