Song Created in 1993-2000, released in 2000 under the Tangents Album. The Tea Party was formed in Windsor, Ontario. Active in the 90s, and since reformed in the 2010s, they are still active and releasing music.

Last song I'm posting for the night! I planned on stopping sooner but got excited when I realized The Tea Party is actually from my home city of Windsor! I had no idea. Would explain why I recognize all of their songs, I must've heard them a couple hundred times over the radio.

I guess I kind of have a thing for every variation of rock music, huh?

Created in 1985 by Scottish-Canadian Lawrence Gowan. Gowan was born in Scotland, but immigrated to Scarborough Ontario when he was younger. Gowan's career is mostly entirely contained within Canada, with most popular being in Toronto, the epicenter of his career. As of this post, 1/10 of Gowan's 101k monthly listeners are from Toronto.

Made in 2003 in the Truthfully Truthfully album. Joel Plaskett is from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and his music often makes references to his home city.

Joel Plaskett has a strong history of celebrating Canadian music. His music itself is great, but look into his strong advocacy of Canadian Musicians, and his criticisms of bands that go on to play more in other countries than Canada itself.

Made in 1993. Band is based from Toronto. Still releasing music to this day albeit with different band members.

"Sometimes it's wise To know which way the gun is pointing Before you yell, "I see the whites of their eyes"

Aside from being quite catchy and pleasant to listen to, the lyrics are quite heartfelt and clever. Big fan of this band's pieces.

Released July 2000, still relevant.

State sanctioned to ring a loud ass bell and read the news out loud? Lets go!

Quotes are directly from the article.

"Officers arrested a woman in connection with the incident at a residence in the 1100 block of Bruce Avenue shortly before 10 p.m. on Monday, police said.

The dog was removed from the home and turned over to the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society.

In a Facebook post Wednesday, the humane society said the dog "has been thoroughly examined by our medical team and is in good condition.

'While he is bright and alert, he is understandably scared and will need time to adjust,' the post said. 'At this time, he is not available for adoption or foster care.'"

Disgusting lack of empathy, but I am grateful for swift action by the Windsor Police and the empathy shown by the Humane Society and all those who reported the video. The Ontario Animal Protection Call Centre phone number is 1-833-9ANIMAL. Please report cases of animal abuse or neglect.

What happened:

"City staff approved spending hundreds of thousands on American-made outdoor furniture as part of the $15.4 million outdoor ice rink downtown days after being asked to prioritize Canadian-made goods during an ongoing trade war.

The furniture will cost taxpayers up to $285,957.21 for 28 seasonal outdoor metal tables, 18 table-mounted metal umbrellas and 10 garbage receptacles.

That's before taxes, according to a city document."

To be faaaair:

"It's not clear if the city considered any Canadian companies as part of the selecting process for the outdoor furniture.

Project administrator Graziano Nazzani wrote in a report that these companies were selected because the items would match what's in other parks, will be familiar to staff who maintain the furniture and because the city already has replacement parts on hand."

My opinion: Very much against the sentiment of the times, and a bit of a slap in the face for a city proud of its manufacturing capabilities. I think keeping it domestic, or even local, would have been the better move, especially considering how expensive the American made items were anyways!

Tight election! Overall, voter turnout beat 2021 by quite a bit! We are seeing an overall trend of a collapse of NDP popular support in line with the national trends, likely a reflection of strategic voting and disillusionment with NDP party leadership. We are also seeing the PPC being reduced to a non-factor of a party, also in line with national trends. Liberals overall appreciated a increase in total votes compared to 2021, but so did the conservatives -- and much more so!

Keep discourse in the comments civil. We are all Canadians here.

I'm returning back to Canada in 2 months and you bet your ass this will be blasting during the drive up. I don't plan on living anywhere else for the rest of my life.
