This death happened a couple of weeks ago but it got lost in the shuffle amidst coverage of the Pope's death and the lead-up to the Canadian federal election so I personally didn't hear about it until April 30th.

RIP Noreen Young, the puppet creator and performer who was probably best known as Gloria Gopher from the CBC's Under the Umbrella Tree, a show she was also the creator, the executive producer (through her own production company) and puppet builder for. She was also the performer for the Dodi Muppet on Canadian Sesame Street (later Sesame Park), and was the puppet builder for many TV Ontario educational shows such as Readalong, Téléfrançais, Calling All Safety Scouts, and, perhaps most notably, Today's Special.

Noreen Young was inducted into the Order of Canada in 1995. She died in Ottawa on April 18th, 2025 at the age of 85 from complications after a stroke.

If you have noticed, this is the generation of freedom of expression. To be free of creativity.

I understand they have lived a long life, but my sorrow they are leaving us now. Being replaced by the absolute shit on what is now called...

Entertainment.

Created by DEI hires and by woke committees on their entittlements, while being forced fed their slop to the consumers.

Ruth Buzzi was the original comedian who played the mother and other adult female characters on the 1979 CJOH (CTV Ottawa)-produced series Whatever Turns You On, the original version of the series that would later be retooled into You Can't Do That On Television. (Buzzi would later be replaced by Abby Hagyard as the mother and other characters in the version of You Can't Do That On Television that most people would remember from CTV, YTV, and Nickelodeon.)

RIP

Reuters:
Van Impe played a pivotal role when the Flyers hosted the Soviet Union's Red Army team at the Spectrum on Jan. 11, 1976. He delivered a huge hit to Russian star Valeri Kharlamov in the first period, prompting the Soviets to leave the ice in protest. They eventually returned but Philadelphia skated to a 4-1 victory.
