“A reminder to believe nothing you see or hear on CBC.” Because if you did, they’d keep the power to hold Pierre to account for the things he says and does! And god forbid anyone does that!! Chickenshit, autocratic rhetoric from a guy who keeps boosting bootlicker media

From @dickzoutman.bsky.social of the @cancovsoc.bsky.social: “The COVID pandemic has had devastating impacts on Canadians and on the health care system in particular. Our political leaders need to address the impacts that COVID has had and is continuing to have given the pandemic has not ended,”

The proper framing, and this is how CBC News is describing it, is "Trump's threat to Canadian sovereignty" These aren't just "comments".

"After the war they tried to persuade public health officials to take the threat of airborne infection seriously. But infectious disease experts, fighting against outbreaks and preparing for emergence of new diseases mostly ignored them, even when it meant accepting basic mistakes about physics."

#Krasnov should be trending huge on here. For context, it's the KGB name for when they recruited the Orange Shitler back in the 1980s. The Legacy Media is now scrubbing proof of the story given they put it out there. NO retractions, just removing it. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Wittingly or not, garden variety idiot or outright traitor/quisling, @ianhanomansing.bsky.social just shifted the #OvertonWindow FOR Trump, FOR the annexation of Canada. Argue about Ian's intent (and that of the #CBC etc) if you like but that shifting work, that damage got done either way. #cdnpoli

In 2022, Alberta lost $121M in royalties from methane gas leaked from oil and gas infrastructure. The solutions to this are cost-effective and involve tech that can be sold to other countries. A win-win for the industry and Canada’s economic resilience 👇

Freedom of press means freedom to ask this question, which is fine. It's his right. But freedom of speech means the rest of us get to compare the choice to French media discussing the benefits of a Vichy collaborator government, minutes before the actual Nazi invasion.

You mean “the comments” that are a repeated, action-backed, direct threat to Canada’s sovereignty? Or is that “banter”? Is it “Double-Cross Country Checkup,” Ian? Will there be more on this from the Capitulation Broadcast Corporation this weekend, or is “Quirks & Quislings” still in development?

Coming soon “Canada Bleeds”! Five prominent Canadians each select one form of unconventional warfare with which to counter US war crimes! After each day's debate the Capitulation Broadcasting Corporation trivializes all forms of resistance, until only one winner remains, the US.

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social & the CBC: Who is making you think this is the most responsible way to address a threat to Canada’s existence as we know it? Why are you not instead doing a show on the reality of what that might mean and all the reasons we DON’T want to be 51? My dudes 🤦🏼‍♀️.

Price comparisons of surgeries done at private facilities vs AHS costs, courtesy of the new documents obtained by the Globe and Mail. Given what has been going on within the public health care system, especially the ongoing closures in rural Alberta, this data is horrifying.

"During the pandemic, scientists sparred over how COVID spread. Some researchers said it was airborne, but public health authorities like the WHO flatly said it wasn't. It took two years for the WHO to publicly turn around. This seemed very strange to me at the time as a journalist. "

Anyone else notice Collateral Global (GBD successor org) has scrubbed Bhattacharya (GBD author) and Bardosh (CG Director, funded by the Conly-Heneghan "EVIDENCE Collaborative") off their site? Burying COIs to make it easier for Bhattacharya to funnel money stripped out of the NIH budget to them?

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."
