CBC/Radio-Canada was just named Broadcaster of the Year at the New York Festivals Radio Awards! 🏆 Matt Galloway’s The Current also took home Gold for On-Air Talent. While politicians threaten to defund CBC, the world recognizes its value. Public media matters. #SaveTheCBC

Chief Dan George led an amazing life. A gifted poet. An activist for his people. A movie star. Remembered as the first Indigenous person to receive an Academy Award nomination, he was so much more than that. This is his story. 🧵 1/16

my fav, so far…

Doug Ford’s staff used code words to cover up a Greenbelt land grab. CBC exposed it — because public broadcasting holds power to account, even when they try to hide the truth. Defend journalism. Defend the CBC. Read: r.pebmac.ca/https://www.... #SaveTheCBC #GreenbeltScandal #CBCInvestigates

Who is the journalist at 51:41? They need a healthy dose of humility, professionalism and reflection on focus of direction.

We have reached peak iris

The Saskatchewan Ombudsman has released a list of immediate calls to action regarding the province’s response to wildfires. Here are the recommendations: #skpoli #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/electio...

Some days it’s hard, maybe impossible, to defend ourselves. The rest of the country is telling us we need an attitude adjustment. Are we listening, Saskatchewan?

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

CARNEY: "Aristotle once taught that virtue is like a muscle that grows with exercise. We become just by doing just acts, brave by doing brave acts, empathetic when we show empathy, when we are kind, kindness grows. When we are Canadian, Canada grows. Pride. Is. Canadian." #cdnpoli #pride

Modular home innovation in BC. The future looks bright.

Prime Minister Mark Carney laments Pride 'backlash' and rolls out money to make 2SLGBTQ+ parades safer 'We can take pride in how far we've come but we should also recognize there's far more to do,' PM says /1 thread #Canada #PrideMonth www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Hey #CanadaSky #Cdnpoli #AlbertaByelection Bonnie is running as an Independent against #PeePee. Let's give her some support! Give her a follow here on bluesky. bonniecritchley.bsky.social Maybe she can #fanjoy him one more time.

Those eyelashes! Gorgeous

I post everything 3 times: once on Bluesky, once on Xitter, and once on Facebook. FB is mostly for people I know in real life, so let's put that aside. On Xitter, I have 18.8K followers vs 16.3K here. *BUT* I get measurably a LOT more engagement here on Bluesky. I also get blocked a lot more here.

Take aways from the Cdn defence announcement: Carney govt is seizing opportunities that should have been seized years ago, such as salary increases and topping up projects that were under funded (yay trucks!)

Network. Network. Network. Active local networks mitigate harms and influence policy. Rely on each other. Remember to have fun and uplift each other. There’s power in that.

Feels like home here in Firenze - Canadian wildfire smoke has made it to Italy. Uncanny how familiar this feels from the last few summers in Ontario. Sunset over the city & Arno River.

In 2011 GW shared that we were on a path to making mistakes of the past and shared the historical context of why.

“It’s all very well to wear your “Never 51” shirt, or to post your Canuck creds on Instagram, or to boycott Netflix and Amazon, but it’s time to think bigger, bolder. Time to make a splash.”

A planetary nebula blooms, an expanding, glowing shell of ionized gas, signaling a star’s final stage of evolution. For a mere few tens of millennia, it glimmers like a cosmic ember, a fleeting spark in the universe’s vast tale.

Good job Canada! 🇨🇦 Keep it up. #elbowsup

If you need a breather from all this bullshit, here's a photo of Earth. From Saturn. We're that slightly brighter star at centre right.

With Canada at a crossroads, what is CBC News in 2025? This video, written and voiced by chief correspondent Adrienne Arsenault, was played at yesterday's CBC season preview. It gave me chills and I hope more get to see it. #journalism #Canada #CBC

Because today you need perfect pink Peonies...
