AEW airs on a sports network in Canada (TSN), WWE was on a sports network (SportsNet) here before it moved to Netflix, and TNA got a deal with that network after WWE left.

Supreme Court Allows Trump Plan to Restrict Mail-In Voting, for Now
For now? Election day is a little over two months away, and they couldn't tell him "Maybe next time"?

Streaming is just cable TV with extra steps.
If there's nothing to watch then don't subscribe to four different services. Streaming gives you more say in which channels/services you get than cable does.

No wonder Canada told the US to stick it where the sun don't shine

Canada passed a law allowing cabinet to authorize use of banned pesticides a couple months ago, so it's not like we're doing great in that area anyway.

OK, but the leak in the article seems to have been in 2016 when conditions were very different.

U.S. tried to restrict Canada's ability to get new trade deals
This more recent post has some details on the restrictions:
The source told CBC News the Canadian government was expected to agree to apply steel and aluminum tariffs on all of its trading partners at a rate comparable to what the U.S. has applied (50 per cent).
However, countries that have a free trade agreement with Canada would be treated differently. In those cases, Canada would have to establish a tariff rate quota, meaning a certain amount of product would be allowed into the country at a lowered tariff rate.

"Even" Claude? If the boss's wife wants to keep a low profile then the company's models are probably the most likely to help with that.

Some ways for Trump to impose tariffs were ruled illegal. Unfortunately there are still other routes he can try.

Actually, Larry Ellison's wealth is still tied to Oracle's stock and his backing of the Warner Bros. Discovery deal gets tougher as Oracle's stock price drops.

They didn't just write a tweet. The Foreign Affairs Minister made a statement yesterday, as mentioned in CBC's coverage. No, they didn't make any threats to Israel or anything like that, but an official statement is more than a tweet.
Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand called that decision "unacceptable" in a statement on Thursday.
"Serious failures were identified in the conduct of the strike, and closing the case without further accountability leaves their families without the answers they have sought for more than two years," she said, adding that humanitarian workers in conflict zones must be protected.
"Canada expects international humanitarian law to be upheld and will continue pressing for a full accounting of what happened, along with justice for the seven workers who were killed and their families."

Floppy is a fork of Yamtrack that recently got its own name. From the notes on that release (emphasis mine):
I'm still not a professional developer; I'm an enthusiastic maintainer using AI coding tools to build the media tracker I want to use. Floppy is now a standalone project based on the incredible work of FuzzyGrim/Yamtrack, independently maintained and supported by @dannyvfilms. Yamtrack import and documented compatibility paths remain supported, but users install Floppy directly rather than treating an upstream container replacement as a migration plan.

U.S. preparing to force Netherlands to ban ASML from selling to China
Reply in thread
The article says ASML is dependent on US suppliers. Cutting off sales to the US would probably backfire.
ASML is also dependent on American suppliers for its own production. In the past, American threats to disrupt the company’s supply chain have successfully convinced the Dutch government to further restrict ASML’s exports.

Americans who say they drink alcohol remains at record low, survey finds
Oh that's why Trump is so pissy about Canada's provinces not selling American alcohol. Americans aren't buying enough so American producers need the extra customers.

TV shows on streaming services showing the titles in every language in history for each episode
The people who did the dubbing for other languages deserve to be credited, and there's only the one video to go with all the different audio tracks. A "Next Episode" button will usually show up before the credits get to that part anyway, so if you're sticking around that's a you problem.
