If you’re going to see Canadian folk comedy trio The Arrogant Worms, you gotta see them perform on the set of a community theatre production that has yet to start its run.

I have decided to let Cale Makar into my heart.

Thinking of Tumbler Ridge tonight. Can't imagine what the community is going through.

I've been there with bad reactions to new meds, hope you feel better soon.

The worst part of reading Silver Age Spider-Man is having to read Stan Lee referring to the audience as "Spidophiles."

I am and I hope you are too! It's always a pleasure to see your byline come up on the Canadian Press feed.

That's right: 2025 was the year of Claude Rains.

Merry Christmas, Alex! If you’re in town, we should hang out before you head back south.

It's the reason for the season. That's right: Emerson, Lake and Palmer's Tarkus.

It's so depressing that the Canucks drafted the only superstar defender they've ever had and ended up forced to trade him because the team can't shake its unending dedication to shortcuts and half-measures.

It'll be tough watching Quinn Hughes light up the league for years knowing what we lost.

The Goldeneyes' jerseys look great in action.
Delighted to see the team pick up the overtime win after a close game.

Looking good, Dr. Wagstaffe!

I don’t know this pitcher, but as long as he can get some outs…

He was a lot of fun to hear speak about his career at FanCon this year. You could tell that having the opportunity to interact with a successful Indigenous actor meant a lot to many convention attendees.

Thanks to the nice folks who helped me pick up a bunch of scattered @pgcitizen.bsky.social papers in College Heights this morning.

If you ever see that our papers or boxes have been messed with, please call 250-562-2441 or email frontdesk@pgcitizen.ca so we can send someone to deal with it.

When did you decide to follow up on JLA/Avengers and bring in the egg? I re-read your Avengers, JLA/Avengers and JLA earlier this year and liked the small thread of continuity through the three projects.

With the end of Al Ewing's Metamorpho book, your Supergirl title is the most Silver Age thing DC is currently publishing and I mean that as a compliment. It's a lot of fun!

They just don’t understand that cats must be sung to, it’s the law.

Saw them every year in Manitoba, but this is my first time seeing a tornado warning in Prince George.

Even though I've left Manitoba, it's nice to see my photo of an annoyed school trustee live on.

I covered a few school lockdown events during my time in Brandon, but nothing that led to students getting hurt. Awful situation.

I’ve had this happen with articles, it’s the worst.
