Travelled from Ontario to see the Come From Away in Gander, NL and just found out it's cancelled. I hope they add more shows this weekend before we leave! @CFAGander help!

Seriously @AirCanada it's been 21 days and you still can't tell me where my luggage is, let alone when I'll see it. This is ridiculous...

#TedLasso won at the #Emmys for comedy series. In one of the show's scenes, this 26,000-seat stadium looks filled to the brim, but what most people don't know is the crowd is mostly made of fake people who weren't even filmed in a stadium.

How Hollywood makes fake crowds look so real

Got my second shot with Moderna today! I heard people are canceling to get Pfizer instead. Take whatever you're offered! Hope articles like this help people understand they're equivalent.

Pfizer and Moderna are functionally the same and interchangeable, 99.999% the same genetic sequence, same proteins, same efficacy. Thanks @adamsmiller for the chance to speak on this on @CBCNews cbc.ca/news/health/pfizer-mo…

Canadians should be outraged at the CRTC for reversing its decision on wholesale internet rates

As a result of the reversal, smaller internet providers will be less able to offer an affordable alternative to the high-margin services offered by big telecom, writes VMedia’s George Burger.

Almost half of our asparagus is now harvested by plug in electric carts. Our plan is to move to 100% electric over next 1-2 years. Current battery technolgy allows for 1 overnight charge to run a cart an entire day. We are committed to do more for our planet 🌏 @onasparagus

Honestly, if I hadn’t seen this with my own eyes and didn’t have my own footage of this, I would 100% think it’s CGI 🤯 I think it’s the coolest video in the world! The future is here. Science fiction isn’t even this cool! Can’t wait for #SN11 @SpaceX @elonmusk
