Those are all good. Going to add @thenarwhal.ca too.
And if you're looking for a podcast with investigative journalism about Canadian power systems, @arshy.bsky.social and @notquitecorn.bsky.social have a new podcast The Hatchet and it's great.
Some intelligent PM's like Pierre Trudeau saw this coming a long time ago.
The solution was to nationalize core industries like oil, gas, power, minerals, timber and national media from foreign interference. Norway did something like this and are doing much better because of it.
Could this be the time for Canada to invest in a 'public' newspaper industry. Bolster the CBCwith a national CBC Newspaper, both in print and online. Investing in public information, trusted information, and regional information. Cut subsidies to private interest papers with agendas and lies.
I think maybe some left-wing publications should maybe get together - like The Tyee, The National Observer, and make something bigger out of itself. Or, more government funding for them.
Also, fast blocking of foreign ownership of our media, and banning full-out hostile platforms like X.
As well as making private broadcasters genuinely accountable for a more significant %
of Canadian and regional content, including news/information and regional production.
Let's end the days of private broadcasters in Canada claiming American programming as part of a strong Canadian network.
They pretend it's "state-run" media, but the real reason they hate it is because it shows Canada as the multicultural nation we are, rather than the white Christian monoculture they wish we were.
Harper's selling off of the CBC's archive was an act of genocide.
Love the CBC and think we should all be shareholders to keep it a news and culture source for the people. Cons shouldn’t be able to do shit with it without our approval.
Yes, to properly funding the CBC. Unfortunately most rural communities have weekly newspapers owned by Post Media. In my own little community, the news content has gone from bad to nil. The paper is barely there and I have long since stopped subscribing to it. There is a dearth of local news.
PSYCHOPATH Trump didn’t corrupt the treasonous GOP cult/crime syndicate—a onetime political party now comprised of PSYCHOPATHS (1 in 25 persons in the general population) & their psychotic human pets—he exposed it.
Trump’s MAGAs are a redux of Hitler’s nazis: treat them accordingly.
Dump X(Twittler), FaceBook, Instagram, Amazon....you guys are superior....I bet you could make your own platforms that would be far better than Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg's ever will be.
You, guys, need to do 2 things right now, because it cannot come from power. You need to ask JT to stay IF the situation develops. And you need to ask him to declare twitter a national threat immediately. He won’t do it because he’d be scared to be call authoritarian, but you can ask him.
We do have protected Industries, that's true. Why they think this is Trudeau's fault who knows. Dairy as example, US uses the hormone rBST, it's banned here in Canada. All countries have protected Industries and always will.
media got Trump elected. Our media will get PeePee elected. We cannot keep our democracies functioning for all citizens with right wing propaganda brainwashing us.
one of the reason, beyond the excellent local options we have around, that i still read headlines on the two main Canadian owned large newspapers, even if they are both based in Quebec and one thinks the Food Processor is a valuable contributor.
Hedge funds manage 5.3 trillion in assets world wide. Hedge funds and investment funds are increasingly involved in Canada's real estate market. Hedge funds and other institutional investments contribute to the rising costs of homes. Canadian housing should not be an investment vehicle.
Canada should do a tik tok and declare that if the hedge fund doesn’t divest itself then they will be shut down under the name of national security. The Hogue report already declared misinformation an existential threat.
Unfortunately the examiner only has the staff to cover local Halifax news. It can barely keep up with Provincial affairs- never mind national. But I subscribe- and what they cover they cover well.

No, Mark Carney is who we need in this very moment. Former Bank of England and Bank of Canada governor. Experienced in global financial negotiations.
Trump won't see him coming.
No. Absolutely not. We need strong leadership and Trudeau is NOT it.
We need to force the election for March 2025 (instead of waiting for October) and put Mark Carney in as the new Liberal leader.
Buddy, I fucking know. I am absolutely NOT some conservative leaning asshole who buys into whatever the next prick says. I have disliked Trudeau’s Liberal gov from jump and have consistently voted NDP.
I will 100% back Mark Carney in October if he is made the new PM.
Justin Trudeau is the idiot son of an asshole. He is poorly spoken, poorly educated for the task at hand, and has a proven track record of spinelessness.
Mark Carney is an economist who was the Governor of the Bank of Canada during the 2008 housing market crash in the US and is why we survived it.
No, ma’am. You can believe what you wish, but I actually haven’t laid out the many reasons I do not like Trudeau. I do not buy into the lies spread by the conservative media. And I will not sit the fuck down. Fucking rude.
Carney knows his stuff and will be a competent leader. If Trudeau were to stay, con owned media and the cons will rip him apart. Carney is the unknown. We do need to get X banned in Canada
Exactly right.
If Trudeau stays, there’s a real risk Poilievre and his MAGA-adjacent bs will be elected.
Carney has an actual understanding of the economy and backs real climate change measures, Canadian ethics, and the everyday Canadians (ie the proletariat). He’s not a career politician.
You can be right ☺️❤️ but also we have the same problem with our president and the demonization he is suffering from the right… although he is admired outside our country, and for a good reason (as I think happens with JT) and I don’t know the situation there in depth but I kind of do ☺️
American here. Many of us worked very hard to elect Kamala and defeat Trump and this is tragic.
I am sorry that America chose a mad king and his greedy court hell bent on destruction. I will fight them like hell from here. RIP America.
DO NOT LET THE OLIGARCHS CONTROL YOUR MEDIA!!!
If you've heard Maple MAGAts complaining about state media, the billionaire who bought the US is making The Platform Previously Known As Twitter into a single point of contact state media.

1. Apply the retaliatory tariffs
2. Do something about X and any compromised news organizations
I'm doing what I can down here but it isn't a whole hell of a lot

It's time to properly fund and expand the CBC, our public broadcaster, central forum of Canadian culture, and preserver of our history.
They pretend it's "state-run" media, but the real reason they hate it is because it shows Canada as the multicultural nation we are, rather than the white Christian monoculture they wish we were.

It's high time we reclaimed our flag from those treasonous assholes.
Poisonous propaganda, aimed at trying to turn Canadians against their own country and self-interest.
Not worth the paper they're printed on.
As a Canadian will you continue to buy nonUS made items when possible to make a statement with your wallet?
Or
Is it business as usual between US and Canada?
Tariffs still over our heads … is the war over?
Trump’s MAGAs are a redux of Hitler’s nazis: treat them accordingly.
Hence the constant bozo explosions from David Staples.
Silver Jeans anyone?

I'd be fine with Trudeau shutting them down for #natsec reasons following the foreign interference report.
Can we make that happen?
Real shame about the shows.

He knew what he was doing, he laid the groundwork for it all.
Us and Canada, that is.
Do we need to say more ?
Trump won't see him coming.

While there may be other reasons for an election there is NO reason to have an election to make Carney the PM!
