We really need a 4 Nations Women's #Hockey Tournament.

It appears that the CBC will receive a significant boost in funding just in time for the next global conflict. The financial support will be doubled, and Radio Canada will play a crucial role in delivering accurate information to counteract the spread of disinformation. @savethecbc.bsky.social

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

“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.

New from @policyalternatives.ca: Amazon has no intention of respecting the labour relations systems in any Canadian province, and will actively work to undermine them. The labour movement must respond in kind. By Niall Harney and @whosestreets.bsky.social www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

A small first step but a good start

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

PP said there will be starvation across Canada if Mark Carney is elected PM. He voted against a National School Food program. vm.tiktok.com/ZMkWT8q9q/

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

To be clear this means Poilievre would use taxpayer dollars to subsidize right wing rage farming outlets like Rebel Media that attack progressive politicians and as a result puts their safety at risk. Speaking from some experience here…

Boo away, Canadians. Don't blame you. Grew up in Michigan & went to Windsor often. Spent a couple months in Toronto on a job, have vacationed in Vancouver. Always loved Canada & the Canadian people. It appalls me Cheetos Mussolini is treating the best neighbors a country could ask for so poorly.

Under the felon, U.S. government scientists told they need clearance to meet with Canadian counterparts Former official says NOAA workforce could be halved, sending ripple effects around the world www.cbc.ca/news/science...

Wab Kinew, premier of Manitoba 🇨🇦. Message to Americans. He's speaking for all of us.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post didn’t want you to see our ad questioning who’s in charge at the White House. We won't stop holding power accountable. thehill.com/media/514849...

Doug Ford is counting on low voter turnout. Why else would be have chosen an early election in the dead of winter? Early polling stations open on Thursday. Get out and vote. Your voice matters!

We must use true words to describe what is happening now: say fascist, authoritarian, coup, and other terms to explain the events we’re witnessing. www.davidmoscrop.com/p/we-must-us...

Just as relevant today… “The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” - Malcom X (1963)

Doug Ford suggesting people living in parks must have winter homes that we don’t know about. This man is ignorant and lacks any form of compassion. Like all Conservatives. #cdnpoli #peipoli #onpoli .

“Tired of cringing when you see our flag tied to a hockey stick flying on the back of a nasty old truck? Take back the flag and the values it represents. Get educated Get active Get motivating others”#neverpoilievre

I don't know guys. I just don't think you can spend two years telling people "Canada is Broken" and then pivot to a "Canada First" policy and sell that.

A majority of voters from all parties want proportional representation. When will politicians finally act?

Oct 2024; the McGill Center for Media, Tech, and Democracy published a national survey of Canadians on public service media titled "Do We Need the CBC?" - the public's answer is yes. You can find the full published study hyperlinked in this article: www.mediatechdemocracy.com/all-work/can...

LOL @ Poilievre frantically trying to pivot in a panic away from one slogan to another, but Canadians will see right through him. He’s crapped on Canada for years and now suddenly wants people to forget that for his political gain. I’ve never seen such a fake weasel in my life.

CBC's Fifth Estate has traced a wide web of anti-LGBT hate working to censor or close down libraries in Canada to a right-wing U.S. movement

The Fifth Estate tonight is airing an investigative report about Take Back Alberta’s interference in Alberta, focusing on libraries, school boards & municipal elections. The Fifth Estate airs at 9pm on CBC tonight.

CNN's Jim Acosta signing off: "I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too." I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too. Pass it on.

He is standing *within* the Holocaust Memorial Monument in Ottawa and has the unmitigated GALL to call for deportations. A few steps away is a depiction of the train tracks used FOR DEPORTATIONS during the Holocaust. He is so unbelievably, unbearably disgusting.

It's time someone does their job as a reporter and dig into why he can't get a security clearance. Surely there is something there.

Did you know that today is the anniversary of abortion being decriminalized in Canada? That only happened because a Holocaust survivor grew up to be a doctor and insisted on performing safe abortions even though it was illegal. Just, you know.. somethin' to think about right now for no reason!

Remember this?

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, everything that led to the Holocaust is in danger of being forgotten. The Nazis channeled the demands of oligarchs, scapegoated minorities and replaced democracy with a new imperium. Those politics are returning. #NeverForget #NeverAgain

Public broadcasters reflect the interests of viewers. Private broadcasters too often reflect the interests of advertisers. They are not the same. There’s no shortage of private broadcasters & social media interfering in editorial policy to satisfy their advertisers. Protect the #CBC!
