Thank F there are still decent people left in politics

don't mind me, i'll just be sobbing at the muppet movie script

Fenlon straw-manning the criticism something fierce here. And I can’t think of a profession aside from journalism where “I made a lot of people really angry today, I must have done something right!” is standard. Hear this from your plumber, Brodie, and then get back to me.

This ‘it’s not us, it’s the listeners that are wrong’ response from Canada’s national public broadcaster is not helpful.

Wait. What the fuck?

I did not expect @ianhanomansing.bsky.social to trash his career by carrying water for the fascists. This timeline sucks.

Incredible to recognize it *here* as 'Trump's annexation threats' but not to make that the topic of the show. Oh, no just a good old fashioned conversation with our neighbours (and Kevin O'Leary for some reason?) about becoming the 51st state.

I will attempt to flesh out why the CBC's broadcast of Cross Country Checkup was so toxic today, since there are some people still expressing confusion or dismay at the criticisms, including my own, leveled at it. 1/? 🧵 #Canada #CBC

“We’re not both sides-ing it. We’re learning about both sides of the issue and why,” says Hanomansing Oof It just gets worse with this quisling nonsense

"Threats of annexation which break international law" isn't an issue with a legitimate middle position. You're either an extremist, and support international aggression, or you're a normal person. No other option. Frame the issue appropriately. Don't give Kevin O'Leary airspace to propagandize.

Ok here you go. Here's what I wrote to the CBC Ombudsman. - As an award-winning Canadian journalist, I am writing to express my profound disappointment regarding the upcoming radio program hosted by Ian Hanomansing, which aims to discuss the idea of Canada becoming the USA's 51st state. 1/

Annexation was not an invitation. If it was, we've already rejected it and the conversation is over. These are not just "comments" by Trump, or a "proposal." Annexation is a threat. Canada does not want to be part of the United States. Fuck. Off. @listentothemiddle.bsky.social

Should we turn Czechoslovakia over to the Germans? We've set up a call-in on Czechoslovakian public radio which is open to Germans to talk about the pros and cons.

No. Stop it #CBC. They’re not “comments,” they are THREATS destroy our sovereignty, our independence, our economy, and our way of life as Canadians. Stop normalizing Trump’s threats to annex Canada. You are doing his job for him! #Canada #CanadaSky 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #TeamCanada #Alberta #yyc #yeg

Wise man…

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

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.

I have no idea why @bonniecrombie.bsky.social and team aren’t constantly saying, “Doug Ford is handing $100M Ontario taxpayer dollars to Elon Musk to help him destroy Canada.” Non-stop until election day.

On this day in 1942, German tanks and soldiers marched through Winnipeg. The mayor, premier and Lt. Governor were arrested. The city was renamed Himmlerstadt, books were burned and the swastika flag flew around the city. This is the story of Winnipeg's If Day. 🧵1/14

Any countries building Starlink into their telecom systems should be thinking twice right now.

This guy is running for city council. He cannot be elected, Vancouver.
