Now we just need them to return to reporting facts, not opinions.

Better for unity. Better against Trump. Better for the economy. Oh, and he has his security clearance. Mark Carney is better for Canada. #TeamCanada #CanadaStrong

Prime Minister Mark Carney is a renowned economist with a PhD from Oxford who served as the Governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. Pierre Poilievre has no experience in anything outside of the political sphere. The choice is clear.

Trump 2.0 almost precision-made in lab conditions to enflame Canadian nationalism

Canadian politics has been turned on its head. By any standard, the polling surge that the Liberals are enjoying is extraordinary. Our forecast suggests Mark Carney has an 83% chance of winning Don’t get complacent. Get out there and VOTE!!! 🗳️ #canada #markcarneyforpm #tariffs #tradewar #usa

Over the next three (and a bit) weeks, @rachelgilmore.bsky.social and I will be checking the election facts at @nationalobserver.com. If you see a promise that seems too good to be true, or a claim that doesn't sound right, let us check it out. Find us at [email protected].

Some news.

Lmao the greatest “screw you” to ctv imaginable. Extremely glad Rachel has been picked up by a news outlet with actual courage

A petition criticizing CTV for caving in to political pressure and demanding they bring back Rachel Gilmore’s fact-checking segment has received several hundred signatures: www.change.org/p/petition-t...

I sent them a correction request for all the mistakes in the story (with sources and receipts) and it was so bad they just TOOK THE ENTIRE STORY DOWN HAHAHAH

Gosh, Rachel seems to be pretty good at checking facts

I’ve been eagerly anticipating testing out Brisk Teaching’s new podcast feature, curious to see if it supports multiple languages or just English. This morning, I finally had the chance to try it, and I was thrilled by how simple it was to create a short podcast in French!

"À la différence du batch cooking, où tous les ingrédients sont épluchés, coupés pour la semaine, le slash cooking consiste à cuisiner UNE recette en quantité généreuse pour la décliner en différents plats au fur et à mesure de la semaine." C'est très courant pour moi.

Poilievre is running the Trump playbook of attacking journalists who dare question his BS. it is disgraceful that @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social caved to MAPLE MAGA intimidation. Read my latest Substack. @rachelgilmore.bsky.social substack.com/home/post/p-...

“…I am furious that CTV caved. Rachel became a symbol of the threats journalists face. Now, she is a symbol of what it means when institutions fail to defend them”

Liberation Day in France is June 6th. But Canadians didn't celebrate until the job was done. The criminal from Mar-A-Lago is selling his bogus "Liberation" Day. Lol. Canadians have another job to do. We will celebrate when Donald is done. And we will still be standing. True. North. Strong. Free.

The entire World should do the same.

In Peru, Moscow is OUT, Kyiv is IN 🥰

Wow, folks...I am so incredibly grateful (and a lil overwhelmed, in a good way!) for the response to this. It's heartening to see how many care about an issue that is SO much bigger than any one journalist. It's a trend, and we have to stop it. You all give me hope we might be able to do that. ❤️

“Pierre Poilievre has always had a woman problem — this isn’t new. His favourability among women has been consistently poor — peaking at 30% — and his latest comments about women’s biological clocks demonstrate once again how insanely out of touch the Conservative Party has become.”

If you are worried about disinformation and media manipulation in this election give a pass to @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social They caved to pressure from Pierre Poiievre's online posse in their continual harassment of @rachelgilmore.bsky.social She is a truth teller. CTV is not.

Oh my gosh! Sounds terrible 😄 Honestly other than complaining the guy has zero platform and no legs to stand on. His far fetched proposals and tax cuts only benefit his weathly friends and will eliminate every social program families, especially women really count on. #neverCONServative

Pierre Poilievre knows what he said was a dog whistle to his incel base as well as the misogynistic groups of individuals who call themselves "Alpha males." We know how he treats female journalists who ask tough questions or fact-check him.

I am disgusted with CTV's cowardice. They have lost all credibility with this move, and Canadians should not be turning to them as a trusted news source in the future. #BoycottCTV

Cannot stress enough how dangerous this is as a precedent. @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social

Absolutely shameful that CTV caved to a disingenuous right-wing pressure campaign instead of standing their ground. It presents even more red flags about the state of the media in Canada. @rachelgilmore.bsky.social did not deserve to be treated this way.

‘Target suffers eighth week of foot-traffic losses since caving on DEI Costco, which resisted demands to end DEI, extends its streak of foot-traffic gains to 13.’

Full on Handmaids Tale is their end goal.

At the risk of sounding controversial, I think kowtowing to political pressure is a bad look for ctv

Just sent my email to the Ombudsman of Bell. Outraged. #cdnpoli

🚨BREAKING: Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, published the following statement. “Tariffs are taxes, paid by the people. Europe did not start the tariff confrontation. But we have everything we need to protect our people and our prosperity #canada #europe #usa #tradewar

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at McMaster University have discovered a NEW peptide antibiotic that targets a broad range of disease-causing bacteria INCLUDING those RESISTANT to existing antibiotics. This discovery marks the first potential new class of antibiotics in NEARLY 30 YEARS. 🧪🧵⬇️

France and Belgium rejected Trump’s demand that EU businesses cancel DEI programs.“It is out of the question that we will prevent our business from promoting additional social progress,” said a French official. “We have no lessons to learn from the boss of America,”said a Belgian leader #europe #usa

Congrats to all the Juno Award nominees, and thanks for all you do for Canadian music. Your work protects and celebrates our culture and identity, and we're stronger for it.

A neat trick to make your life easy this week! whoteacheslanguages.blogspot.com/2024/08/chea...

Je vais baisser immédiatement les impôts pour la classe moyenne.    Nous ne pouvons pas contrôler le président Trump, mais nous pouvons aider les gens à braver la tempête.
