Also, and I can’t believe I have to say this, NPR and CBC, but annexing sovereign countries isn’t a “proposal.” Not Poland, not Iraq, not Canada - no “proposals” in any of these cases. It’s not a grant application, it’s a violation of international law and an abomination.

It's this brand of "journalism" that created Trump. He's their monster. They made him.

We need a public broadcaster more now than ever but we need demand that they be better and rise to the challenges of the day.

Understand the enemy, not provide them a platform. Canada needs serious journalism for serious times, not to play with our sovereignty like a Dragon's Den pitch. CBC failed Canada today. bsky.app/profile/sjam...

I know the material reasons for the rise of fascism. I also think another reason - which doesn’t get talked about as much because it’s embarrassing that humans can be that naive - is that when you are financially comfortable but bored, abstract cruelty can give you a sense of purpose.

And there it is again. “Threat or comment, depending on your perspective.” No. The international rules are clear. You do not “muse” about annexing a country. It is, by definition, a threat. So disgusted with this.

Resign. You and Hansonmansing are unfit and unqualified for these serious times.

The death of one's mother leaves a hole that never fully closes. My deepest condolences, Lindsay.

Wait, isn't that photo from when he joined in on an anti-vax march that ended up with a cop getting choked and people getting arrested? I do believe it is!
