Canada’s very own Logan Roy! Elon Musk’s self-induced pee problems! Grifter media’s nepo daddy in Parliament! Bad faith-framings of vital protests! We’re talking about it all today:

:)

I'm going to a party tonight where I need to bring various conspiracy theories for a competition can u tell me ur favourite ones 👀

“Honest” reporting will not rest until every reporter with an ounce of humanity in the face of a genocide is fired. So sorry you’re being targeted, Geoffrey. I sincerely hope your boss isn’t a pussy.

It’s easy to feel powerless as we watch Israel’s livestreamed genocide in Gaza. But you have SO MUCH power. That’s why, this week on Bubble Pop, we’ve got a woman on the inside. NDP MP @heathermcpherson.bsky.social tells us how political pressure works — and how to use it. Here’s a taste:

Yesterday, we heard from healthcare workers who have been in Gaza — people who can go where Canadian journalists aren’t able to access. Today, humanitarian aid workers took their turn. They warned that Israel is using aid as a military and political tool. Here's what else they told us:

My god… The Palestinian envoy to the UN describes Israel’s murder of children in Gaza and the Israeli envoy appears to stifle a yawn??? The Palestine envoy, shortly after, breaks down in tears at Israel’s abject cruelty and the horrors inflicted on children. 💔

There's something surreal about watching this Conservative MP speak in the House about how "words matter" knowing the son he raised (Keean Bexte) called me a filthy whore last week lmao

International journalists can’t enter Gaza. But healthcare workers can. That makes their testimony vital. They can cut through to the reality of the atrocities Israel is committing in Gaza. In today’s video, you’ll hear their firsthand accounts of witnessing a genocide:

Very excited to share that I’m going to be teaming up with the awesome folks at @nationalobserver.com again to package some of their investigations into digestible videos! First up? An AI chatbot is being weaponized to flood city councils with climate misinformation:

God I forgot just how boring and stupid question period is lol

Stop what you’re doing and watch this immediately. Canadian doctors returned from Gaza and are sharing what they witnessed and lived. They are demanding action from Mark Carney. Their testimony is our failure.

I don’t know about you, but I have always wanted to hear the most upper-class British accent say the words “GST on homes” and “first time homebuyers.” So today is, clearly, my lucky day! Because King Charles just read our throne speech. Let's discuss this...and the looming book ban in Alberta:

omg

the fact that people are offended I made fun of the ROYAL accent is wild the ability to make fun of the uber wealthy and their cringe affects is one of the only things we peasants have that the ultra rich never will!! have some class solidarity!! laugh at them!!!

the royal British accent is so fucking funny and weird. what do you mean that's how you talk. come on

Oh FUCK this. We're not idiots. We know, from watching our neighbours to the south, exactly how this goes.

Thank you to CBC for explaining to viewers that the King doesn't write this speech, it's a government document. In case this sounds like sarcasm, I'm being genuine. People need to know this, and far too many don't.

Not Mark Carney's office slipping the word "transformational" into the throne speech King Charles is reading 💀

King Charles is supposed to arrive at the Senate at 10:15 and will read the throne speech a bit after that. If you wanna watch, here’s where you can do it: senparlvu.parl.gc.ca/Harmony/en/P...

Parliament is back! I’m sure it’s going to be totally collaborative and cordial. What’s that? Poilievre just called the government “morbidly obese” and the Conservatives are fundraising off false claims Liberals tried to influence recount outcomes? Oh, okay. Let's talk about that and MUCH more:

Really love this new thing where, in almost every fundraising email lately, the Conservatives imply it's possible for a political party to influence the results of JUDICIAL recounts and suggest a "Liberal machine" is at play. Super cool, great for democracy!!!!!!

Free Palestine. www.aljazeera.com/amp/video/ne...

Pierre Poilievre, speaking to caucus yesterday, referred to what I can only assume are the anti-genocide protests as “rampaging antisemitic riots.” He got a standing ovation. For seemingly pledging to crack down on people who want a genocide stopped. Very “free speech” of him. Fucking foul
