I was a kid when the 1969-75 series came out, and grown-ups around me were horrified at the designs. They said the swirls looked like the work of a kid with a Spiro-Graph toy. Funny thing is, they said this when the $5 came out in 73. I guess they didn’t see many $20s (released in 69).

The 1971 series replaced the 1954 series, which had Queen Elizabeth's portrait on every denomination.

Seconded, by a Canadian.

"What sort of people are we whose elected government cannot stand up and condemn the US when it kidnaps and assassinates heads of state of other countries? "

The writer asks: Didn’t anyone give a thought to the tragic fact that Kobe Bryant died 14 YEARS after scoring 81 points?

“Maybe this reaction is rooted in nostalgia for Bryant’s storied night against the Toronto Raptors in Los Angeles on Jan. 22, 2006…”

Ya THINK?

How dare someone nudge ahead of someone else for (checks notes) the SECOND-most points in a game?

Even if you've got a jaundiced opinion of journalism we should adhere to the principle that *any* citizen has the right to ask reasonable questions of their government and expect reasonable answers. Canadian governments at all levels act like this is asking them to learn Esperanto.

Now that I think of it, I think it was the Five O’Clock Charlie episode—General Clayton, talking about storing ammo near a hospital. “We got the idea from the Germans!”
Hawk: “Great. Now we’re taking lessons from the losers.”

There’s an episode of M*A*S*H where a visiting colonel or general talks about a tactic and says he got the idea from the Germans. Hawkeye responds that it’s great the US army is stealing from the losing side.

Carney is some kind of salesman, to persuade her the way to achieve what her constituents need is to join the government benches. After she's spent nearly 5 years criticizing the government rightly for ignoring Nunavut (which so disillusioned Mumilaaq Qaqqaq that she didn't seek reelection in 2021).

A message from the Toronto-Danforth NDP and the Paula Fletcher for Ward 14 Campaign.

Also, the Third Way giveth and the Third Way taketh away.

Rhetorical questions: Why isn’t a certain premier describing the current gasoline prices as a cash grab? And why isn’t the federal government moving to regulate gasoline prices?

Which I later learned was no coincidence. They needed to process and edit the 16mm film they shot, so the mobile units couldn’t venture too far from home base in Agincourt.

Irv, Rick Azar and Tom Jolls (aka Commander Tom) were the big three at WKBW for years and years. We watched Eyewitness News at 6 because World Beat News on CFTO didn’t start till 6:30. Every night, from arson on the West Side to car crashes, almost always on the 401 between Victoria Park and Kennedy

Sulphur, surely.

One of the few times I’ve been starstruck was when we were having breakfast in a place in Williamsville and Rick Azar was two tables over.
