If you want to share your concerns with CBC about the “51st state” Cross-country Eff-up, I’m told the emails to use are [email protected] and [email protected] for the ombudsperson and editor in chief respectively

Please file a complaint t if you agree that the CBC should not be hosting a show about canada becoming the 51 state jointly with American broadcast org NPR cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/ombudsman...

A brief summary of the UCP corruption scandal: - If they didn’t know what was going on they are incompetent. - If they did knew what was going on they are crooks. In both cases they wasted a boat-load of our money, and didn’t make healthcare any better.

"The documents reveal for the first time that the company that facilitated the children’s pain medication deal and a pair of proposed surgical facilities in Red Deer and Lethbridge share a common owner." They also share surgery costs that exceed AHS and another contracted provider. Gift Read ⬇️

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

FOX NEWS: You are against people bringing in eggs that have not been-- I mean, we have the USDA for a reason. These could be contaminated and bring illnesses in. GALLEGO: Absolutely. This is why we shouldn't be firing USDA inspectors that are actually doing oversight over avian flu

Albertans are slowly waking up to the depths of the scandal enveloping the UCP government. A lot of folks are wondering how to explain what's going on to people who haven't been tuning in. Here's the what, so what now what, and what's next of the situation. 🧵

Dear @safety.bsky.app, Please remove gifs from your app that have our Canadian Flag superimposed with 51st State. It is discourteous to your very proud Canadian users. Best regards, 🇨🇦

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social WHY are you co-hosting a show with an American to explore whether Canada should be the 51st state. WHY is that even a question!!! The answer is #No #Never

Canada is a sovereign nation & it's not cute/fun to banter about theoretical ideas about overthrowing their government/ "making" them join the US. They do not want to join the states! I sincerely love our northern neighbo(u)rs & am in solidarity for their right to self-governance & shared wellbeing

Pretty sure this is Canada’s current mood 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦😎

😡 Canada’s sovereignty is not up for discussion nor debate, and it’s definitely not for damn entertainment. 🇨🇦

We kicked holocaust denier Ernst Zündel out of Canada. Why the hell would we let Elon Musk have any claim on Canada? He is a fascist threatening the people of Ukraine. I am proud to be helping drive this asshole from our shores. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Canadians don't boast about our beautiful nation. We don't tend to wave the flag. But when Trump tell us that we don't have a right to exist as a nation every Canadian must make a choice - VIMY or VICHY. I know where I stand. Canadians never give ground in the face of tyranny. #strongasfuck

There will be no "discussion on becoming the 51st state." The only discussions we're going to have are on the US's threats to invade 🇨🇦 Canada, & to forcibly annex us. Which will never happen, because a Canadian guerilla insurgency would never back down.

CBC trying to explain how a "conversation" about whether Canada has a right to exist as a nation will be good because they have asked an American DJ to co-host. Like asking Ukraine to join a "conversation" with Russia about their borders. But don't worry it will be done with "care."

Hey @safety.bsky.app, please remove the offensive GIFs featuring the Canadian flag with "51 State" and others that promote annexation. 🚫 These are disrespectful to our sovereignty and to your 🇨🇦 user community. Despite previous requests, they remain up! 🗣️✨ #TeamCanada

The vast majority of Canadians don’t trust the opinions of Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan — all of whom bait incels with misinformation. Pierre Poilievre has racked up endorsements from a who’s who of fascists, fraudsters & alt-right influencers | @mtltoula.bsky.social

(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Please read my latest reflection. There are lies we tell to comfort ourselves. Like Democrats who say we just have to wait two year and Trump will lose control of the House. Like those in Germany who promoted Hitler while believing they could control him. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-reichs...

LOL🤣

In Alberta grassroots resistance is coming together to take on the MAGA premier. Here is a link for resistance in the land of the big sky. Go Alberta go. www.abresistance.ca

Mark Carney is one of the most respected voices on the economy worldwide and the most qualified candidate to steer Canada through the second Trump presidency.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Zelenskyy has shown the world what democracy means. Donald Trump is a convicted felon and a sexual pervert. These two men shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence.

Great new piece by Christopher Holcroft on Poilievre’s hamfisted attempt to rebrand as Captain Canada, despite opposing literally everything that makes Canada, Canada @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social @chrystia-freeland.bsky.social www.thespec.com/opinion/cont...

“A reminder to believe nothing you see or hear on CBC.” Because if you did, they’d keep the power to hold Pierre to account for the things he says and does! And god forbid anyone does that!! Chickenshit, autocratic rhetoric from a guy who keeps boosting bootlicker media

This guy wants the AfD to win in Germany. He wants Pierre Poilievre and the CPC to win in Canada. I don’t know about you, but given the devastation and fascism he’s doing everything he can to create in the United States and beyond, I wouldn’t vote for someone this guy likes in a million years.

One thing lost in a lot of the Alberta health care coverage this week is that the same people who own the chartered surgical facilities ALSO work in the public hospitals AND have positions with the University. Do we see why that may be a problem now?

Entertaining these "51st State" comments at all is reckless. This is not a debate that should be allowed to happen. This is equivalent to giving airtime to climate change deniers, anti-vaxxers, and eugenicists. Why are we giving airtime to legitimize what is a proposed fascist invasion?

There is still zero reason to let Americans call in on this. Should Radio Ukraine host a call in-show asking Russians what they think of Ukraine becoming the newest Oblast?

I've spent the last few years defending CBC from Poilievre's "Defund the CBC" messaging but this? This is indefensible. Why don't people realize that "Just asking Qs" is playing into Trump's hand? When even the CBC is doing clickbait about Canada being invaded, we are in dire, dire straights.

Called to complain and the Cross-Country Checkup phone line is ringing fast busy - I suspect that there are a LOT of people calling to complain. Keep calling. BTW, this is the correct framing: “What do you think about Trump’s violation of international law by threatening to annex Canada?”

In case I don’t get through the switchboard, I don’t want a military invasion by a lawless authoritarian regime that would kill thousands of my fellow Canadian citizens and leave millions without adequate health care.

Try replacing ‘comments’ with ‘threats’ and that is much more indicative of the serious situation we are facing as a country.

This is 💩 for the same reason those "Make America Feminist for Once" or "Canada is not for sale" (in the same font) hats are 💩. You think you're doing something subversive, but it's a rhetorical tool that plays into the hand of the oppressor because you are ultimately still advertising them.

Why are people laundering this idea as if it were a cute little thought experiment? What the fuck is this? Canadians are people, we would really all rather not be violently overthrown by America… Are Canadians starting to understand why Hamas exists now?
