A piece of the CBC appeasement puzzle that’s not talked about enough: the role of media in democracies as defenders of democratic freedoms. Journalism is not valueless. In democracies is it underpinned by a commitment to democracy, itself. It’s not “biased” to vigorously defend it. It is essential.

I greatly appreciate the general vibe in Canada about Trump’s Tariffs is… Let’s fuckin’ go.

I'm sharing an image a day to celebrate the vibrant and unique culture and history of Canada. Today it is Gordie Howe skating away from an opponent after giving him a taste of the elbows in a game in the 1960s. #ProudlyCanadian #ElbowsUp

Canada stands squarely with Ukraine. Freedom, justice, and sovereignty are non-negotiable. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 m.youtube.com/watch?v=ShGV...

“Give me a freedom solo!”

We are in very dark times Many mainstream institutions and so-called progressive institutions will abandon groups under attack—trans folks, migrants, activists—for an attempt at self-preservation under fascism Keep good, principled folks close. We need each other

I’m guessing PM Trudeau, who is constrained by his role and is appropriately acting accordingly, is probably loving the “elbows up” energy @charlieangus104.bsky.social is putting out. 🙂

It pisses me off some people don’t even realize how lucky we are that Trudeau is PM right now

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau 🇨🇦 as he meets Zelenskyy 🇺🇦 This is how World Leaders show respect and dignity. So proud of our Prime Mimister! #cdnpoli #peipoli

Here’s what 🇨🇦 thinks of Trump’s threats. We Will Survive www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pei...

Shifting polls can do wondrous things. Take the case of Poilievre who now claims he fully supports Ukraine. We know two facts about Pierre: he was the only Canadian leader to oppose Ukraine aid a year ago and polls show almost all Canadian Trump support is in his CPC voter base. Trust him? Nyet.

If you work in the American tourism industry be prepared to bring a book to work because the world has no plans on visiting you.

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

Here is my latest reflection. The attack on President Zelenskyy shattered the last of our wishful thinking. Many countries hoped that if they fawned over him, he would pick on someone else. Now we know: that we either stand up or get dragged into the abyss. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Both Trump and Putin have a fetish for resource-rich countries. Somebody posted today that they really hope Europe appreciates that Canada now has fascists on the roof and fascists in the basement. This thought has me shuddering.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances, signed in 1994, provided security assurances to Ukraine in exchange for its relinquishment of nuclear weapons, with commitments from Russia, the USA, the UK, and France to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and borders. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapes...

So many good people moved to BlueSky because X had become fascist cesspool & we didn’t want to support Musk. But some major good people are still posting there & not here, & the good people here are missing their posts. How can we get them to come here?

Agility on the part of our Canadian government is crucial at this moment!

For @michellecyca.com, succeeding at making a public apology is to master the art of saying nothing. The language of these statements is often so banal and vague that those unfamiliar with the inciting event wouldn't even know what they’re actually about. thewalrus.ca/statement-culture/

Holy shit! And also, damn! I’d better cancel my Ring doorbell subscription.

Here’s my starter pack of independent media in Canada: go.bsky.app/7ce9PDR

Signed.

My latest interview on Meidastouch on the latest threats from Donald Trump, Wayne Gretzky, the Elon Musk petition. Canadians are more pissed than ever and we are ready for a fight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lOW...

I am calling on people from across Canada to join the national Amazon boycott. Against the union busting. Against oligarchs. Against the MAGA Trump-Bezos gang. If Jeff Bezos is going to walk away on Canada, let's walk away on him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKLf...
