Atmospheric river batters B.C. coast, Vancouver Island regions under flood watch

My Value Village doesn’t take underwear.
I could not possibly throw nearly a month’s
worth of his briefs down the chute
to be landfill-crushed, so I’ve made them a lair
in one of my own deep drawers. Do I hear
them thrumming in there? They don’t feel
like they were ever filled by him. Their condition,
flattened, piled like leaves, is spiritual,
the most disembodied of underpants
never again waiting to wrap his ass,
his athlete’s glutes — nor expecting to.
They’re now the residents of a dresser,
tame sirens of the derrière,
red, navy, black in a penis parlance,
and as I pull...

Good morning. Danielle Smith wants more control over Alberta’s judges and she’s willing to withhold funding to get it – more on that below, along with Ottawa’s scrapped EV mandate and Canada’s best shots at Olympic medals. But first:
