  • Politics on TV: Decibel or decimal?

    By macleans.ca - Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 5:23 PM - 0 Comments

    What did Trudeau say? And what does it mean? We waded into the fray (so that you don’t have to)

    “Deal with the criticism, if you could, from both inside and outside your party that you lack substance.” Global’s Tom Clark asks Justin Trudeau just a little more than two minutes into the interview.

    The full transcript is here, but here is Trudeau’s answer: “I don’t particularly worry about it. You know I’m not going to go around reciting Pi to the 19th decibel or you know wave my grades, or test scores to people. I’m going to simply do what it is that I have to do.”

    Wait … to the 19th what? The question circulated on Twitter. Once more to the tape: “Decibel,” Trudeau said.

    So what does it all mean? It’s another questions that went round and round on Twitter. Here is just a sampling of the voices in the fray:

  • Don Cherry tweets against verdict for man who killed Toronto cop with snow plow

    TORONTO – Controversial hockey commentator Don Cherry is speaking out on Twitter about a court verdict that will send a man who killed a Toronto police officer with a snow plow to a psychiatric hospital instead of prison.

    In posts to his official Twitter account on Friday, the outspoken broadcaster says he can’t believe Richard Kachkar was found not criminally responsible in the death of Sgt. Ryan Russell.

    The tweets say that in Cherry’s view it seems if you kill someone and “act mentally disturbed” then you can be let free.

    However, the verdict means Kachkar will be assessed and treated at a psychiatric facility — and will only be released when a review board decides he is not a significant threat to public safety.

    The humble hashtag: a useful tool for navigating the dizzying social web, or just another layer of visual clutter we’d be better off without?
    A New York Times social media editor’s contention that hashtags are “aesthetically damaging” and that tweets without them are “more pleasing to the eye” spawned some playful chatter and discussion from online media watchers Tuesday as they pondered the usefulness of the Twitter-spawned — and oft-overused — prefix:

    Never heard of the rapper Wale (pronounced WAH-lay)? No big deal. Neither have the Toronto Raptors broadcasters, who may have insulted the Washington native Tuesday night. Sitting courtside as his Washington Wizards played in Toronto, Wale was seen verbally jawing with Raptors star Rudy Gay. Then Raptors announcer Matt Devlin added his two cents, admitting he had never heard of the Grammy nominee.

    It ain’t always easy being Canadian

    Storified by Maclean’s Magazine· Mon, Feb 11 2013 18:22:07

    Most Canadians would agree it’s pretty sweet being Canadian. We are the fifth happiest nation in the world, according to the United Nations World Happiness Report. Canada is also in the top five of the world economic freedom rankings, ninth in the wind energy rankings and the reigning men and women’s Olympic hockey champions.

    Despite these accomplishments, there are still some things to overcome when living north of the 49th parallel, as emphasized by the hashtag #strugglesofbeingcanadian, which was trending on Twitter over the weekend. Here’s a look at some so-called Canadian problems:

    Late-night query from National Post columnist Andrew Coyne: 
    Anne of Green Gables or Mike Duffy: who wins in a fight?Andrew Coyne
    And the replies: 
    Anne has agility but Duffy has the weight of, er, self-importance onside “@acoyne: Anne of Green Gables or Mike Duffy: who wins in a fight?”Cdn Politico

    Subway’s footlongs fall an inch short

    Storified by Maclean’s Magazine· Thu, Jan 17 2013 19:02:10

    It turns out not all of Subway’s footlong sandwiches measure up. 
    An Australian man posted a picture of his submarine sandwich on the company’s Facebook page, and next to it a tape measure that showed the length was an inch short. The New York Post then created a PR nightmare for the world’s largest fast food chain when its investigation found that four out of seven footlong sandwiches were short of the full 12 inches.
    A lot going on in the world, but @nypost leads with: Subway sandwiches getting smaller. #bombshell http://pic.twitter.com/XppkWYruCarl Quintanilla
    Does size really matter? Subway’s 12-inch sub doesn’t measure up, say angry customers. http://bit.ly/Xfti8DDale Carruthers
    EXPLAIN YOURSELF BRUH @Subway http://twitpic.com/bw0rlrFreshbluntz
    And what was Twitter’s response? A whole lot of innuendo.
    Just saw a story where Subway’s foot longs are only measuring 11 inches. Subway’s response: It was cold.Albert Brooks
    Breaking: Subway foot longs only 11 inches. Eh, who hasn’t embellished the size of their sandwich by an inch or two.rodney
    Turns out most of Subways “foot longs” are actually only 11 inches. But cmon how often is it true when someone says its 12 inches.Philip DeFranco
    So the Subway footlong is only 11 inches. You know the first one was measured by a male employee, get over it! #menalwaysexagerateJagger
    Subway home of the foot long…..well, more like 11 inches, cause it’s cold outside.JustMe L
    So it appears the Subway footlong is an inch shy. Clearly, a man is responsible for the initial measurements.Stephology
