Fort McMurray, AB has been burning for over a day now. Some of the pictures and videos make it look like the apocalpyse, or maybe a live version of Fallout.

Now hearing that it could be as high as 30 - Unknown what the hell is going on. Several explosions (possibly grenades) around the Stade de France, where there is a match going on. Two gunmen performing drive-by shootings with AK-47s, while 5 or 6 gunmen in the Northeast of downtown. There is...

"I've about had it with these people." "What has happened to our party? What has happened to the conservative movement?" "If we turn this country over to somebody with wild ideas who thinks they can scream and bluster or operate their way to success, it's my kids that are going to be at risk...

Need a favour - I want to buy a car located there, but I have no way of going to look at it until I'm in Toronto on July 4. Thinking it might be sold by then.

I know, I know, I'm not supposed to really post in here, but this needed a thread because it's a pretty important part for Women's freeskiing. Not very often that a major film company gives a girl the opening segment of their movie...

My work does a thing with the United Way every year in October, and part of it is an auction. Clients and various businesses donate things to auction off, with proceeds going to charity. Well, I bid on a few things, but the only thing I won? A return trip for two to... wherever I want. At least...

Dear NSG, The mod forum has been undertaking some discussion of late. Basically, we feel like NSG has become a bit of a mess. This is partly our fault. A couple of years ago, there was an executive decision made to loosen the slack on moderation in this forum and let it be a bit more unbridled...

After this morning's embarrassing performance by NBC with commentators who really know nothing about what they're doing, American viewers probably want to switch feeds. Well, some of you can! http://regressing.deadspin.com/map-who-gets-to-watch-the-sweet-canadian-olympic-broad-1519986679 Note...

This is perhaps my favourite political ad of all time.

Finally, someone with advanced legal training has taken the time to painstakingly analyze the finer points of Jay-Z's 99 Problems from the perspective of the fourth amendment implications raised by the second verse. This is, of course, long overdue analysis...

This isn't really a substantive election issue so much as a really, really funny quote. "When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t...
