In my car, listening to #becausenews, I reflected on the vital place that Canadian comedy has had in my journey from would-be immigrant to proud Canadian. Thank you so much to @gavincrawf.bsky.social and the wonderful team who makes me actually smile in these fraught times.

i've always found it odd to get ads for, say, DC's power company on say NHPR or CBC podcasts (Dear #BecauseNews pls come back soon…), but thankfully it's never gone much beyond "huh, that's weird".

because this 🧵 is about what it looks like on the other side when the ads are more WTF 🤬 than weird…
I'm supremely mad and I'm going to rant about it.

I have a podcast. It's hosted by ACast. They do dynamic insertion ads prior to the show, which I've enabled. These are basically the commercials you might hear before the show starts.

So Poilievre couldn't even keep his own seat? Can't wait to hear what this week's #BecauseNews panel makes of this... 🇨🇦

#CBC 's #BecauseNews pointing out that Mark Carney's catchphrase is "If I may", and now I can't unsee it.

For the "Drag Queen or Federal Constituency Name?" game, I'm proud to say that I guessed ALL the district names correctly. I guess all that scrolling through Elections Canada websites has paid off! @gavincrawf.bsky.social #BecauseNews

Gavin Crawford was making a joke on this week's #becausenews, but there *is* (or at least was) a Canadian KISS cover band called SMOOCH, based in Fort St. John, BC, and featuring Dayna Manning on vocals and guitar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7C3WL3_XTVw
