Brittlestar, aka Stewart Reynolds is a Canadian humorist and national treasure.
Making funny videos about Canadian politics, Canadian habits, and sometimes our relationship with our neighbours to the South, his gentle dad humour is a balm for prickly Internet life.
Favourites:
Westjet's New Ultra Basic Fare
Ontario Govt Message At Beer in Convenience Stores
Loblaws Receipt Scanners
US-Canada Border Wall
Just A Dad (Outside a Taylor Swift Concert)
Spring in Canada
Virtual Dad Pep Talk for Pride
My Son Asked Me How I Danced in the 80s
Peace, Love, And Canada, folks!

He looks like my neighbor Kevin, a very good guy, which only makes him seem more honest and relatable.

Oh wow, I've only ever done summers in Canada, but that Spring in Canada sketch gave me flashbacks to living in the Boston area.

sauril, you went and reminded me that Zellers picked up "Nowhere with You" for a televised ad campaign and I will always love Zellers for that!

Joel Plaskett, Canada's Musical Sweetheart (as I call him), is the bomb!
(I'm seeing him live again in November. I love that skinny beanpole of a man.)

"It's like Costco without the illusion of exclusivity."
Yep, "exclusive" is definitely foremost in my mind when I look around at my fellow Costco shoppers.
