Hard fucking agree. @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

Right off the top, this show is a load of illiterate nonsense. I’m appalled at the minimizing. “Some people” were not outraged at discussing the issue. That’s a strawman. People are upset about the normalizing language and the ignoring of basic democratic facts.

CBC can be so embarrassing “Should Canada become the 51st state? Here’s some of the cast of Dragon’s Den”

Is every politician in the US 800 years old?!

I clearly have a different meaning for interesting....

Oh I bet he's from around here!!!

Shane, your friends are idiots.

" We're not free". I can't get a doctor is not having no freedom Shane. Christ on a cracker.

Oh it will be a good thing. Great. Let's have idiots on.

Would you stop fucking both siding EVERYTHING IAN?!?!

CBC Cross Country Checkup had the guy who manufactured consent for the Iraq war on as a special guest.

So funny how Hanomansing was indignantly like “People on social media don’t understand how valuable and necessary this conversation is” and it’s just Americans and David Frum extolling the virtues of the US while they nod somberly

And they can't even keep the wifi working...

Again, with the fucking lecturing. Quislings. Jesus we deserve better.

JON I LIKE YOU A LOT!

How would your life change if someone kicked you in the head? That's what you sound like Ian...

Are they...lecturing us about this bullshit?!?

Oh ffs a quisling.

Hell yeah

A better framing for today's Cross Country Checkup would have been: What are some tried and tested guerrilla tactics Canadians you're considering if the Yankees violate our borders?

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social curious about this myself....

I, personally, only want to hear from war criminals and Sharks Den hosts about the existential threat facing our country right now.

Golly gee we heard some callers...this feels like the Simpsons...

No algorithms but you have producers who screen calls. Let’s not get so high and mighty

If only there was time travel. @ianhanomansing.bsky.social could go back 3.5 years ago and ask Ukrainians and Russians their thoughts on Russia "annexing" Ukraine.

Omg William find a point...

US press secretary: Yes it's a serious threat Senators and congress: Yes it's serious US ambassador to CAN: Yes it's serious PM of Canada: Yes it's serious Trump: Yes I am serious CBC: but is he REALLY serious tho?

Oh she prays for us HOW CAN WE EVER THANK YOU???

"What will the Anschluss mean for everyday Austrians?" -- if this guy were an Austrian radio host in 1938

Oh wow lady from new Orleans....brainworms?

At least my ears, riddled with early hearing loss, barely heard Frummie

Writer for the Atlantic isn't the sign of quality it once was huh?

"Imagine being us" Yeah no shit the entire history of Canada is that we do not want to be Americans lol

Maybe it's because I'm a survivor of domestic violence or maybe it's because I've spent my entire career working with other survivors but if you think Canadians going on the radio & begging Americans to see our humanity & not annex us is going to be effective, then I have a bridge I can sell you.

I thought this was cross country check-up, not cross people we know and wish we didnt check-up....

I can't think of anyone I care about less than Arlene Dickinson.... #cdnpoli

Trump: congratulations to the German conservatives! Just like in America, Germans are voting for my common sense agenda! Germany’s conservative chancellor-to-be, Friedrich Merz: www.dw.com/en/german-el...

Someone needs to tell Trump the AfD didn’t win.

I can't resist. I'm gonna watch CCC....

23 February 1910 | Jewish woman, Anna Frume Reichmann (nee Jakubowitz) was born in the Russian Empire (today’s Latvia). She went to Norway in 1937. She arrived at #Auschwitz on 1 December 1942 and was murdered in a gas chamber together with her 6-month-old son Gerhard Benny.

Let's be honest...some of our character is "we aren't american" anyway...trust but verify being a thing for good reason...

The Heritage Foundation (project 2025 idiots) are looking for new interns, they'll need to manually review all applications, you can sign up here: heritageinternship.applicantstack.com/x/detail/a28... And if you don't have an email address, you can create one for free here: proton.me/mail

Pesky damn lawyers, it's always "no, that's illegal" this and "we could all go to prison" that.
