I've spent the last few years defending CBC from Poilievre's "Defund the CBC" messaging but this? This is indefensible. Why don't people realize that "Just asking Qs" is playing into Trump's hand? When even the CBC is doing clickbait about Canada being invaded, we are in dire, dire straights.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

The last few days should put to rest the idea that Trump can be managed with the right combination of flattery and acquiescence. Zelensky made a series of reasonable and credible efforts to get Trump onside. He basically followed the playbook for how Trump ought to be managed. And, look:
