It's possible I am the only one in #Canada who can no longer watch #hockey without feeling disgusted by the thought of what they might be doing to celebrate. The London sex assault case may have ruined hockey for me forever. Even if they are not found legally guilty, it was at best disgusting.

US business owners missing #Canadian dollars don't seem to realize what their country has become. Tactics to get us back are blind. Discounts? Balls with beavers on them? Hope it blows over? U.S. tourism operators offer e... www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Charlie Angus tells us all about Hoegstra and his laughable attempts to knock us off guard.

Dr. Oz undermining the CFIA by suggesting ostriches exposed to HPAI would be welcome on his ranch. Even more offensive, Oz and RFK Jr are making this an issue of "diplomacy" when it is US aggression against #Canadian sovereignty via attack on our institutions. #elbowsup www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This was part of NBC's report on the visit by the King: "... former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who wore green and orange sneakers with his suit." Americans show ongoing concern with suits and such. www.nbcnews.com/world/canada...

"As the anthem reminds us, the true north is indeed strong and free." Great speech

CBC Power and Politics panelist Ginny Roth argued that #elbowsup is shifting to a more "realistic" attitude. Brad Lavigne argued it remains beneath the surface. It will be an error to forget that #Canada was threatened with economic destruction, and has tens of thousands of newly unemployed workers.

Wait for the message from Charlie Angus! youtu.be/3G4C9chJDGQ?...

All the workers who have lost jobs or find their jobs in jeopardy do not agree with the US ambasador that "51st state" is over. They are our front line and we need to hear their stories. Their struggle is #Canada 's. @ianhanomansing.bsky.social @charlieangus104.bsky.social

Vital point here. The frames of political discourse — which are shaped by the structure of the info environment and by both strategic & organic communication — shape how people interpret their own experiences. We're not dealing with a problem of bad "facts" ... but one of corrupted sensemaking.

Gaps in local journalism will open the door to misinformation. This closure (link below) is in the lower mainland of BC. As we fight for democracy, how feasible would a public broadcasting model be for local news? @ianhanomansing.bsky.social www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

STOP using the phrase " #women and children". I absolutely cringe every time I hear it. Here's why www.theswaddle.com/why-invoking...

Not sure how others in #Canada feel, but I would like to hear a fulsome debate about the pros and cons and options for this NORAD extension. How is this consistent with a reset of our security relationship? @ianhanomansing.bsky.social Canada wants to join Golden Do... www.cbc.ca/news/world/g...

#Hockey sex assault case in London shows the impact of social media on youth sexuality, and the distorted fantasy of criminal behaviour by men toward women. The victim was not seen as a person. This text analyses social media and in so doing describes the crime. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

How many times are we going to have to say it before it sinks in? IT'S OVER. Wipe that deluded smile off your Yankee face and stop talking. #elbowsup #Canada

The treaties between First Nations and Canada were signed 30 years before Alberta was even thought of. The troll machine trying to break up our country are being treated in the media as legitimate grievance. They are not. They are malignant MAGA. substack.com/home/post/p-...

🧵 There’s a thread going around misrepresenting my work and Bellingcat’s education strategy. I want to use this as an opportunity to explain what we’re actually doing—and why it matters. This is about truth, democracy, and how we build a more resilient society. x.com/buynevich/st...

New cabinet. Not a single known convoy supporter, racist, disinformationist, maga propagandist, underminer of democracy, misogynist, or buddy of Vance. It was close. #Canada must stay alert, and continue to call out the lies and mind games. #elbowsup

Mayor of Niagara Falls has not yet caught on. US is not there for us, and we are going to have #elbowsup forever. This event should have been cancelled, but he thinks US tourist dollars require degradation of our stand. He forgets there are Canadian dollars too. www.wrvo.org/2025-05-10/n...

This case should be criminally investigated.
