The voters chose a minority government and expected the parties to work together, and I don’t think it’s right for Carney and his team to try to undermine that,” said Kofman. “But then I think of Poilievre’s stupid little face being told about one floor crossing after another and I giggle for about 10 minutes.”

But also:

Kofman went on to acknowledge his concerns that a Carney Liberal majority could force through a Western pipeline without any environmental or Indigenous consultation, before dissolving back into giggles picturing Pierre Poilievre’s sad face becoming a popular reaction gif used to denote “whiny pouting” across the internet.

If you haven’t gotten around to it already, Sunday is looking like it’s going to be a great day to be ready with your snow tires.

Changes are coming to how blue and black bins are collected across the province. Under regulations from the Government of Ontario (link is external), responsibility for collecting and processing recycling across Ontario will transfer to producers of paper and packaging. This means that Ontarians will be able to recycle the same materials no matter where they live.

What this will mean for curbside recycling collection in Ottawa:

• Continue to put your bins out by 7 am on your collection day. They will be collected by a different truck and collection may occur at a different time of day than usual.
• There will be minor changes to what can go in your blue and black bins as of January 1, 2026. A full list of items that can be recycled is available on the Circular Materials website(link is external). The City will provide more details in the coming weeks.
• You can continue to use your existing standard sized blue and black bins.
• Beginning on Thursday, January 1, 2026, you will no longer contact the City for any recycling-related services such as a broken bin or a missed collection.

More details will be provided in the coming weeks on who residents can contact for recycling collection services in 2026.

AliExpress listing shows three different configurations, as you’ll be able to choose whether you want a 128GB microSD card, 256GB microSD Card, or just the handheld. The price itself starts at $108.99 for the “No Games” version, leaving us to surmise to that the sub-$100 price that was originally touted will just be for pre-orders. This means that the RG DS will range between $108 and $138 after pre-orders have concluded.

George Springer topped them all with a come-from-behind moment that will go down as one of the biggest homers in franchise history.

Springer hit a go-ahead three-run shot in the seventh inning and closer Jeff Hoffman struck out the side in the ninth to lift the Blue Jays to a dramatic 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night.

The victory gave Toronto its first AL pennant since 1993 and a berth in the World Series starting Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The news of Nelvana's closure hit like a plot twist no one saw coming, but industry insiders point to a perfect storm of challenges. Reports from employees indicate the studio closed its doors on August 29, 2025, with no official statement from Corus yet. This follows a wave of layoffs and restructuring that began in 2024.

Parent company Corus Entertainment has been grappling with severe financial woes, including a steep advertising downturn fueled by economic uncertainty and the lingering effects of the 2023 U.S. writers' and actors' strikes. In July 2024, Nelvana paused all development and parted ways with VP Athena Georgaklis amid cost-cutting measures. Corus's broader issues include shutting down Disney Jr. and Disney XD channels in Canada by September 2025, signaling a retreat from kids' programming.

Experts cite industry-wide shifts: streaming wars have squeezed traditional animation budgets, while AI tools and offshore production reduce demand for in-house studios. Corruption allegations and executive pay hikes amid layoffs haven't helped public perception. For Nelvana, which integrated its operations into Corus in 2006, these pressures proved fatal.
