There’s a lot of vitriol for the CBC’s Cross Country Checkup topic (valid), but the number of personal attacks on the hosts is troubling. And you can disagree with a programming choice but I’m seeing people calling for outright defunding of the CBC. WTF.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

It bears repeating that the increase in food bank usage has been identified by food banks themselves as because provincial social services are inadequately funded and haven't kept pace with inflation, and has absolutely nothing to do with the carbon levy, nor have deficits fuelled that inflation.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction. These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
