Two incredibly stupid #Canadian decisions this week:
1) β€œNo #PrideTape in the #NHL
2) end of the 10:00 #longdash

Might move to Norway.

But as of Monday, #CBC Radio One audiences won't be listening for the beginning of the #LongDash β€” they'll have listened to the end of it.”

The 10:00 #longdash is up there with universal #medicare. Please pass it on.

I confess to having been a loyal user of the long dash for my offline clocks. There was a certain delight to that ritual. Truly the end of an era.
