I keep hearing people say that we should not panic we will get through this somehow we will get through this, but I must confess at this point I am beginning to lose track of how many catastrophes we are currently trying to get through.

Wow — what a 24 hours. Let's talk about tariffs, the election and...yeah, that CTV stuff. On a personal note, today, I have hope that we can make the world a bit better. That’s because of you. So thank you. ❤️ youtu.be/EcqdKt4Yduk

This is a small taste of what @rachelgilmore.bsky.social deals with on the regular — and this from a “journalist” with a public-facing account. You can’t imagine the things she gets sent anonymously. Conservatives opened the floodgates for this to be normalized. It’s not.

If you are worried about disinformation and media manipulation in this election give a pass to @ctvnews-rss.bsky.social They caved to pressure from Pierre Poiievre's online posse in their continual harassment of @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. She is a truth teller. pressprogress.ca/ctv-cancelle...

Refreshing to hear former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull state clearly what every Canadian has seen: how our allies are not speaking out to avoid Trump’s anger. As he says, it’s time to stop letting the US get away with violating rules and norms we supposedly value.

If you're not outraged that a political party is silencing a fact checker, you need to wake up and get loud. These Cons have been crying loudly for so long, people are blindly responding. It's time we say enough!

An excellent video you should watch. Focuses on women & Pierre Poilievre's problem with women but also expands its scope to include trans & non binary people and the comparative US political situation. equal rights | transgender | LGBTQ+ | toxic masculinity

To be super clear: CTV Your Morning *approached* @rachelgilmore.bsky.social to do a weekly segment CTV announced on *national TV* she would be returning each week Then CTV *cancels* her segment after Poilievre’s staffer denounces the announcement on X pressprogress.ca/ctv-cancelle...
