The question has nothing to do with the photo, because the photo is a complete and total fake.

It has absolutely no basis in reality.

 

I don't know anything about the two people shown in the photo, and therefore can't answer any questions about anything beyond the photo being a complete fake - and thus fundamentally irrelevant to any and all follow-up questions.

You donlt know anything about either Katy Perry or Justin Trudeau, together or separately?

[lanforod]

Yeah, I had the same thought. I guess Blair is a bot who didn't exist before 2025.

[Blair M.]

WTF is it with you guys? Seriously?

The photo is a fake, which is my one and only point.

 

I couldn't care any less than I do about either of the two people portrayed in the fake photo, certainly not as obsessed as you two appear to be.

Maybe you would be better served over on the TMZ celebrity gossip website?

 

My new take on your apparent obsession is that you're fundamentally embarrassed that you fell for a fake photo, and you think that this "new" line of questioning will distract from the fact that you most certainly did indeed fall hook, line, and sinker for an A.I. bit of slop.

 

It's OK though - I certainly don't think any less of you for completely and utterly failing to identify an A.I. generated photo !!

Did anybody see Katy Perry and Trudeau on the red carpet at the Grammy’s the other night?

[Matt R.]

The Bieber performance was good. Nice to see him get respect from the audience.

His wardrobe choice coulda been better

[Matt R.]

He’s not a bad looking guy to be shirtless and pantless.

And what convinced you that it was fake? Something obvious?

They are both fake. No need for A.I.

CBC, news?

[Mike K.]

CBC is no stranger to fake news. Down on this list you’ll see they also quietly withdrew content regarding residential schools, years after they published it.

Have a look. There are some pretty big zingers here. Even years later, you might see the CBC quietly change its reporting.

I applaud them for doing this, we all should. But it shows that the organization jumps to conclusions with regularity, and misrepresents the details surrounding stories, also with regularity. These are changes made as of 2026. Content being published actively will inevitably end up on a list like this if they choose to correct their coverage.

CBC Toronto updated the headline on this story about a weekend rally in solidarity with Iranian protesters to more precisely reflect the estimated number of people in attendance.

Feb. 2, 2026

CBC Toronto corrected two stories, published on Jan. 16 and Jan. 30, about an Ontario judge who was found guilty of judicial misconduct. Previous versions of the stories said Paul Currie was charged in 2023 with one count of sexual assault and one count of assault. In fact, Currie was charged with assault causing bodily harm and assault. Both charges were later withdrawn.

Jan. 30, 2026

CBC Vancouver corrected two stories, published on Jan. 5 and Jan. 24, about a civil suit against three Denny's workers. Previous versions of the stories said the workers were accused of misappropriating more than $500,000 in tips. In fact, the company later told CBC News it doesn't believe tips were misappropriated, but rather that company funds were allegedly moved into the tip distribution system and taken from there.

Jan. 27, 2026

CBC Saskatchewan corrected two stories, originally published in November 2021 and April 2022, about residential school survivors and the Catholic Church. Previous versions of the stories said some advocates believe the Catholic Church still owes residential school survivors $60 million, but did not include an explanation of the perceived debt. The stories were updated to include those details and to clarify that a court deemed the church’s obligations to have been met, but advocates disagreed with that conclusion and demanded the church pay further support toward residential school survivors.

Jan. 16, 2026

CBC North corrected this story about a consulting company that is being sued for a breach of contract. An earlier version said that the acting executive director of the Yukon Aboriginal Women's Council left in 2023, when in fact she resigned in early 2025. The story was also updated to correct the fact that the council was on the verge of insolvency, not bankruptcy, and to clarify the nature of the consulting company's responsibilities.

Jan. 13, 2026

CBC Nova Scotia updated the headline on this story about a support program for victims of intimate partner violence, replacing the word "canned" with "changed" to clarify that the support program still exists and one aspect of it was discontinued. The duration of the program has also been corrected.

CBC Ottawa removed a video, published on Dec. 30, 2025, about a mobile hair salon that offers services to clients who face challenges in getting to salons. The operator was not licensed by Skilled Trades Ontario.

CBC News corrected a post on this live story page about the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. An earlier version of the post quoted a security expert, Thomas Warrick, who said that a newly released video appeared to have been edited to remove crucial moments that showed when shots were fired at Good. He later said that based on additional analysis and review of multiple angles, he no longer believed the footage was edited.

Jan. 9, 2026

CBC News corrected this story about video evidence of the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. A previous version of the story said the front of the vehicle had "clearly" passed the officer as he fired the first shot, and that the videos did not appear to show the vehicle colliding with the officer. In fact, it’s not clear where the officer was in relation to the vehicle when he fired the first shot and whether there was contact between him and the vehicle.

Looks to be sold out.  Not bad.

Letterman next week! See you there.

[Victoria Watcher]

[Matt R.]

Letterman was epic. Once in a lifetime opportunity for me, a lifelong fan. The man looks good, appears very fit and healthy and was on point the whole night, a master of his craft.

He did his own intro, made some fun of Trump of course, then comes out and tells a few jokes and some stories before moving to a podium where he did a short recap of his life and career, for the few folks in the sold out Queen Elizabeth theatre who didn’t know his background.

He really went all the way back, back to his younger school days, talked about his mom and son, showed some footage from his radio days, tv weatherman days, the stint on the Mary Tyler Moore show which lead to a call from Carson, and the rest is self evident.

He did mention Stanley Park, Smithers, his last time performing in Vancouver on Bruno Gerussi’s talk show. Of course the crowd ate these Canadiana references up, my American friend Zach who was with me didn’t get it. “Who’s’ Stanley Park?”

Next up a very special guest comes out - Paul Shaffer, who I might add hasn’t changed one bit. He sat down at the Steinway, and introduced the Canucks anthem singer who led the crowd in O Canada, huge Canadian flag lowered centre stage. There had been two standing ovations by this point.

The rest of the evening was Dave interviewing Zach Galafianakis who was pretty good, but took a while to warm up. He also mentioned he took two ferries to get there. He most definitely avoided telling us which island he came from, but it’s a short list. Most folks seem to think he’s holed up on Denman with his family enjoying his millions, but he specially mentioned going to thrifty foods. Salt spring is the only gulf island with one of those, but I don’t think he lives here. What do you think? At the end, he presented Dave with a tea towel from the island he lives on, which my friend figured meant it was salt spring for sure until I told him that every gulf island has a weavers guild, by law.

They closed the evening with a rousing rendition, again on the Steinway grand, of “It’s RainIng Men” - which Paul himself co-wrote in 1979. Bizarre ending, but right on brand and pretty funny to watch Dave and Zach react to this.

10/10 performance, would have been 12/10 if not for the terribly uncomfortable seats and some bush league audio issues.

This was a late add on to the Just for Laughs comedy festival, which I have not partaken in before but we did some wandering pre show and I think I might have to take a closer look next year. Some pretty funny events happening.

Sorry, no photos. Cameras were not welcome during the show, but at the very end I think everyone except me whipped out their phones and took what they could of the men leaving the stage. I think my friend got some photos, just not very good.

Dinner at Tsuki sushi a couple blocks away, then lunch at the Flyjng Beaver before the puddle jump home. All excellent.
