A one-day Ontario high school teachers’ strike cultivated an insult hall of fame soundbite from one young man, who augmented his Timbit analogy for the premier, with the view that Doug Ford “deserves to go to jail.” Don’t wait for retaliation on Ontario News Now: its main face, Lyndsey Vanstone, has a new role.

Jagmeet Singh was among those agreeing with POTUS that Justin Trudeau puts on a different face based on who he’s talking to. Circulation of the video from the NATO summit is credited to a CBC parliamentary producer who spotted it. This prompted CNN to reflect upon Donald Trump’s own legacy of hot mic moments.

Toronto radio ratings reflect a changing alt-rock guard. Indie88 registered a 4.4 share with males aged 25-54, according to data from Numeris, compared to 3.6 for 102.1 the Edge.

Still wanting to be loved again

Daniel Caesar recently scored his fourth Grammy nomination, for “Love Again,” a duet recorded with Brandy. But the Toronto singer’s media profile may still be suffering the fallout from his own drunken social media. His latest attempt at redemption is a video made in Jamaica with a singer called Koffee—shot in the stands of a horse race:

Finally, the newsletter will return Monday, December 9. That’s the plan, anyhow. Before that, it’s always a good time to tell a friend about why you never miss 12:36.
