CBC found that no, this image was not generated. But what about the hundreds of thousands of people who saw the false claims on social media? Would they have seen the CBC story- would they believe the truth? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is the biggest Canada/Russia game since the 72 Challenge Series. 🇨🇦 🇷🇺 🇺🇸

An important point to keep in mind.

From the article: Canada will probably not see a similar spike, due to its smaller farms and resilient supply management system, says Bruce Muirhead, the Egg Farmers of Canada public policy chair and a professor at the University of Waterloo. #AvianFlu #BirdFlu www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Libraries are great for the books, sure, but it's also nice to have a quiet and safe space to sit and think- a place where no one is trying to sell you anything.

Labour unions call on Canada to “hit back hard” after Donald Trump launches unprovoked trade war against Canada Canadian labour leaders say Trump’s “reckless” and “devastating” tariffs are only going to hurt workers in both Canada and the United States

So unfair, when Canada announces tariffs, it done by a sane, handsome man. America just can't compete with politics that underhanded.

Well said, @jefftiedrich.bsky.social !

Hey Canada, as we watch the Trump admin erase info from public websites, remember when the Harper government muzzled scientists, shut research libraries and labs and tossed irreplaceable documents into dumpsters. www.nationalobserver.com/2015/09/29/n...

OKAY, at what point do we declare Pierre Poilievre a national security risk? This is bananas. The guy refuses to be briefed because he can't act willy-nilly with the information? Completely unfit for public office. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Here's the survey mentioned on CBC Radio's Newfoundland Morning today, which is about advance requests for medical assistance in dying. The questionnaire is open until Feb. 14th. www.canada.ca/en/health-ca...

If you share my deep concern that a fascist like Elon Musk could use the X algorithm to interfere with the upcoming Canadian election please write to Elections canada and demand a full investigation into X's interference in Canada. [email protected] www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but I feel like this is exactly the wrong time to give to the keys to our country to a guy who’s spent the last two-plus years telling us all how bad our country is.

Yep!

As we continue to see the rise in hate and the removal of important 2SLGBTQIA+ supports in the US, we reaffirm our commitment as an ally. We will fight for those who are afraid to fight. We will listen to those who seek to be listened to. We will always advocate for inclusion.

Don't let Elon Musk interfere in our elections. Here is my letter to Elections Canada to protect our electoral process from interference by the X algorithm. www.charlieangus.ca/_files/ugd/5... If you are worried about Musk's extremism please send an email to: [email protected]

Foreign Interference in plain sight!!! #Trump #Musk #Vance #Poilievre #cdnpoli

Here, broken down into a thread, is a copy of my last post on X. 1. This is my farewell post. I am not deleting this account, as I don’t want to lose the archive, and I don’t want my name taken by imposters. But, for as long as Musk owns the platform, I’ll no longer use it.

Hi. It's me bugging you again. Would love to see you at trivia on the 31st!!

Musk will fight handing this over tooth and nail—because if he actually hands over the algorithm it will reveal how much he has tampered with it to artificially dampen the reach of progressive accounts, proving he is 100 times worse than those he replaced.

"...significant expansion of local journalism in undeserved markets" Great news for CBC and the country! www.cbc.ca/news/editors...
