Because of the news item below, I decided to watch the #CBCNews item from #TheFifthEstate about #CricketCanada’s connections to Organized Crime and match fixing (and a bunch of other fixes). The report, ‘Corruption, Crime & Cricket Canada,’ ran on the 18th of April and makes a mockery of the Board’s claims to know nothing about anything involving untoward influence.

Find it on #CBCGem.

Highly recommended.

I love when companies advertise an item internationally and don’t think about what their name or phrase means in other places. Ready Seal probably did not think that they would need to ask a Canadian if saying something was “Goof Proof” meant anything different.

Meanwhile, I’m watching #CBCGem and this ad comes up and I’m like “…the deck sealant protects against pedophiles?”

In some parts of Canada, a goof is a child molester. So while we all know goof proof would mean idiot proof… it’s a hilarious choice of vocabulary. lol

#CanadianSlang

Charismatic people who have a working brain can do just about anything they want to.

Alas.

Brenden Abbott chose to rob banks (a bit of a victimless crime, but for the people working there) and break out of prison when caught.

In between, he charmed his way around Australia, stealing an estimated 5M $AU.

I watched this on #CBCGem, but other regions must have it available somehow.

Highly recommended.
