USA Brain Rot is Ruining Toronto

from Toronto Appreciation Nite Hosted by Toronto Appreciation Nite - Dan Speerin, Vince Kesavamoorthy, Meagan Dingman

Toronto once lost the Olympics, because of a plane crash and naturally... a missing form? So, yeah. We start there. This week on Toronto Appreciation Nite, we dig into one of the most unbelievable “only in Toronto” stories ever, plus Mel Lastman’s all-time soundbite fail, that even made Jon Stewart's radar back in the day. Our weekly, Over-Appreciated / Under-Appreciated is where we put the city on notice. This week's topic, Mitch Marner. Daylight savings time. The never-ending Line 5 saga. The 2026 Raptors. “Shovel ready” promises. World Cup planning insanity, and whether John Tory disappearing from the mayor's race, is actually a bigger deal than people realize. But underneath all of it is a bigger question, this week: Why have we accepted USA brainrot as a compass for Toronto? Dan explains how he believes we failed the Blue Jays, the city and each other, because we've gone full "80's USA" and forgotten what's important. Elbows up? Sure, but here's the first step. Pull up a chair to a weekly chat table about Toronto's scenes, memes and teams. It's a Toronto morning show but at midnight. Join Meagan, Dan and Vince for the beginning of our weekly weekend show: Toronto Appreciation Nite.
