tumblroid
Finally a decent tumblr app for Android phones. I like it. Free version and a full £0.99 version (whatever that is in US/CDN dollars).
Not gonna lie, the name is quite unfortunate.

NFL says it has exclusive rights to 'Who Dat' →
I ain’t a betting man, but the NFL is picking a fight with the residents of the city with the highest murder rate in the nation.
Just saying.
Is a pie in the face a terrorist act? →
A Liberal MP thinks the federal government should investigate a U.S.-based animal rights group under Canada’s anti-terrorism laws after a pie was pushed into the face of Fisheries Minister Gail Shea.
Unfortunately, the facepalm macro I would use for this retarded statement is the actual image of Gail Shea getting pied in the face. META.

Tea Party Disputes Take Toll on Convention →
“If there is any profit,” Ms. Phillips said, “the money will go toward furthering the cause of conservatism.”
Or, you know, China.

I would’ve been outside the Canadian Embassy in DC today, but uh, it was closed.
But I did call my MP (who called me back! Fuck yeah Thomas Mulcair!) and told him what a Douchey McDoucherface our head of government is. (My actual words.)

Canada's man in Tehran was a CIA spy →
Ken Taylor, the Canadian diplomat celebrated 30 years ago for hiding U.S. embassy personnel during the Iranian revolution, actively spied for the Americans and helped them plan an armed incursion into the country.
Mr. Taylor, ambassador in Iran from 1977 to 1980, became “the de facto CIA station chief” in Tehran after the U.S. embassy was seized by students on Nov. 4, 1979, and 63...

Former Canadien Jean Béliveau suffers stroke →
The classiest person in the history of the game. Period.
M. Béliveau vous avez toujours su représenter fièrement le CH, et avec grande distinction. Nous vous souhaitons un prompt réablissement et pour de nombreuses années encore.
McGill défie Québec →
L’Université McGill fait fi des règlements édictés par Québec et va de l’avant avec son projet de faire payer 29 500 $ aux étudiants inscrits au programme de MBA dès la session d’automne. Cette décision irrite profondément la ministre de l’Éducation, Michelle Courchesne, qui avait déjà rappelé à l’ordre l’Université lorsque celle-ci avait annoncé, en...

DNO for HAITI →
We all know about the crisis our neighbors in Haiti are going through. We all need to do our part. That’s why from now until 11:59 PM (CST) Thursday, January 21st we’ll be giving $10 of every online shirt order to Doctors Without Borders. We’ll also be at the Mother-in-Law Lounge on the 21st for their benefit night (click here for details). ((our new Save Charity Hospital...
Quebec's disproportionate share of Canada Day... →
This would actually be great if the federal government used some of that disproportionate share to provide funding for the arts and cultural programs they’ve already cut (not just in Quebec), but they won’t.

Inspired by the “Pierre McGuire Drinking Game”, Montreal Canadiens fans can now get wasted too! Here’s how it’s played… TAKE ONE GULP OF YOUR DRINK IF PIERRE HOUDE USES ANY OF THE FOLLOWING… * “complètement raté la cible” * “manqué de justesse” * “fait une chute” * wishes you a “bon match” * “hé bin”...

Obama supports $675K file sharing verdict →
doublethink:
Seriously, the Hope Train needs to wake the fuck up, because Obama has been literally screwing us while we cross our fingers and hope that he’ll do the right thing on even just one issue. The most egregious set of actions he has taken in my view, especially as someone who believes in the positive potential of a strong and efficient administrative state, is populating the entire...

Memo to the CBC: Hire Conan →
At first, the idea may sound crazy, but consider what it would mean for Canada. From Ralph Benmergui to Mike Bullard, our country has long struggled to create a late-night chat show sensation of our own. Mr. O’Brien would come ready made, replete with a tried-and-true formula and a considerable international following. It would mean instant ratings successes and a huge amount of publicity....

This video is literally the coolest thing I have ever helped make. Even though every time I hear my voice I scream and leave the room, and even though, YES, I say “the P word” (sorry, mom!) and it scares the shit out of me, I am basically floored and humbled to be a part of this— which would, in the most literal sense of the phrase, NOT EXIST if not for the generosity, encouragement,...

Pre-emptive Super Bowl Planning

It really sucks being single in the winter.
sade:
Like, especially in Canada. It’s cold, you’re staying inside all the time due to subzero temperatures, you’re eating a lot of comfort food and watch a lot of stupid TV since it’s too freezing to do anything outside and you just want to bone down all the time. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me. SORRY YOU GUYS SORRY TO BURDEN YOU WITH TALES OF MY PATHETIC LIFE.

When did you get so smug, Canada? Not cool, man →
All things considered, Canada, you were nicer in the early nineties, when there was barely a Conservative Party to speak of and Montreal apartments were cheap and plentiful. You were depressed back then, always wandering around in sweatpants, stroking your greasy mullet and moaning about the collapse of Meech Lake and the impact of the North American free trade agreement. You were a mess, but at...

33 Simple Things You Can Do to Defend New Orleans
1. BUY LOCAL!: Don’t order online. Don’t fight traffic to the burbs. Take a minute to think about places in Orleans Parish that sell what you are looking for. And tell the store owner that you are buying local and are glad they are there. 2. RECRUIT TOURISTS: Invite somebody from out of town to come visit. If nobody has spent the night at your place in the last 3 months you are being...
