Ever wonder what happens after a bill is introduced in the House of Commons? 📜 It starts as an idea and, if approved, becomes law after debate, committee review, and votes in both chambers. 🇨🇦 🔗Take a look at the full process here: bit.ly/3SQT614

It ain’t over until it’s over. To be clear, I can support a law that advances national interest projects by accelerating processes while upholding environmental protections. But Bill C-5 plainly doesn’t do the latter, and there’s reason to doubt the former. #cdnpoli apple.news/AfpgNODWqSvy...

🚨 Rebel News just lost its court battle for official journalism status. The judge found only 10 of 423 posts met the standard for real news. The CRA ruled most were opinion, rewrites, or activist fundraising—not journalism. The ruling makes one thing clear: propaganda isn’t journalism. #CANADA #G7

‘Helped push through a sweeping liberal agenda’. What an awful choice of words. The Globe and Mail is a shameful rag. The media must confront it’s part in the stoking of anger, divisions, misinformation that keeps wingnuts like this killer in a constant state of rage, looking for an outlet. Enough.

Mark Carney is giving a speech on dramatically boosting Canada's military spending for a world where US hegemony is receding and other great powers are rising in competition. He says Canada will now hit the 2% NATO spending target this fiscal year. (He previously said by 2030)

Canada will achieve NATO’s 2% target this year — half a decade ahead of schedule. In an increasingly dangerous world, we will be ready to protect our people, our sovereignty, and our Allies.

Happy Pride! Do not ever forget: Pride began as a riot, as an act of defiance against ongoing violent oppression by those with power. Now more than ever, we must stand together, show up for each other, and be willing to fight for someone we don't know.

We pay too much attention to strong opinions—and too little to deep insight and broad perspectives. Pontificating is not a sign of credibility. Hot takes are not a substitute for being well-informed. Expertise is how much you know. Wisdom is knowing how much you have to learn.

A professional photo journalist at Wired asked for folks to subscribe so they could keep up their photojournalism. I asked if he would ALT those images on socials. He said yes! But ableds called me a scold and said I should have just done the ALT myself. Y’all are so self-righteous and insufferable

Reminder... even the most well intentioned person can be misinformed. When consuming information on the internet, look for context clues that will help you determine its accuracy. Don't just accept things at face value because someone (even someone you trust) says it confidently. This includes me. 🙂

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.
