The CBC has lots of problems (read: LOTS) but... It's a thread that runs coast to coast to coast. It's a radio and tv service that exists in markets that no private venture would dare. Without it in Canadian media we would be drowned out by American voices. twitter.com/cbctom/status/…

Conservatives have been fearmongering on the LG-Stellantis EV Battery Manufacturing plant by suggesting foreign workers are coming to take Canadian jobs! This is nonsense and they know it! Once operational this facility will employ 2500 local workers. #cdnpoli

Hillbillies being the operative word. @PierrePoilievre twitter.com/unbranded63/st…

And prize of the day for the most neo-Nazi Xtweet goes to @rflats771 who brings to mind Dr. Goebbels’ constant references to others as substantially less than human. 🤷🏼🤔🤷🏼

@Pastor1Sanchez @ABDanielleSmith

The CBC is going to be one of those "ya don't know what you've got till it's gone" kind of things. Despite all the problems, it knits this big, fractious country together and it's the nearest thing we have to impartial broadcast news.

They've been well groomed by corporate interests. Easily manipulated by memes and stupid slogans like "Bring it home" & "Powerful paycheques". Add a firehose of disinformation from Canada Proud and Postmedia and you're there. twitter.com/iwchadwick/sta…

This journalist is @washingtonpost But it's sound advice for fellow professionals in the US & Canada. twitter.com/crampell/statu…

@Dred_Tory ‘Love Actually’ is all you need. Will be watching it every year until I die 😉 And anyone who starts in about everything wrong with it will be blocked.

There goes the @globeandmail again: another @RobertFife nothing burger gets screaming headline, above the fold, page 1 placement. Then if you get to paragraph 4, you see it’s just somebody ‘exceeded their brief a little bit’ and ‘were just going a little bit too far.’ #cdnmedia

@DianeMariePosts I totally agree with you. In fact Harper and Pierre Poilievre shaving 2 pts off the GST costing the Treasury $13 Billion a year was the stupidest fiscal move by any Canadian government in 50 years. And it sent Canada veering from surplus to deficit before the 2008 crash happened.

Ontario voters fell for the Wynne is bad campaign and Doug Ford is Premier. The province will never recover from the damage he has caused. 10x worse than Mike Harris. Poilievre will be 100x worse. twitter.com/JrKokojoe/stat…

I’m at the point where I consider Smith’s default setting to be lying. Like, if she says anything at all, I automatically assume that most or all of it is ranging between disingenuous/equivocation at minimum to flat out false, until proven otherwise. Every single thing she says.

I am loath to take on @elonmusk but, after nearly falling off the treadmill while listening to this @nytimes podcast today, I must correct a grossly misleading statement about Canadian law that was made during this otherwise fascinating interview. /2 podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the…

Surprise, surprise! “The survey results also suggest that among the four major political parties in Canada, Tory voters lead the way in believing in every one of the conspiracies presented…” #cdnpoli cp24.com/news/from-covi…

This is one of the darkest moments for me in the war against Russia. I just returned from visiting many our friends fighting in Donetsk region, and we had long discussions on the war, and geopolitics around it. Authentic thoughts from Ukraine's frontlines, noted in this 🧵

@PierrePoilievre Um, piffleswipe? Still there at 1040 pm Sunday night 👇🏻👇🏻

@PierrePoilievre Here is what a real plan looks like to build more homes, faster: budget.canada.ca/fes-eea/2023/r…

@RodKahx And Weimar and the whole damn 1930’s 😳

@jennyleeshee 💐

@merry123459 Done

@RodKahx 👍🏻

@RodKahx Fight on the beaches … But appeasement was done long before June 4, 1940. Even as early as the outset of war in 1939, appeasers like Lord Londonderry were being spoken of as candidates for internment. irishtimes.com/news/a-swastik…

The moral of the #COP28 story is we can’t trust oil and gas companies, petro-states or petro-provinces (looking at you, Alaberta and Saskabama) to do what needs to be done on climate. 🤷🏼😳🤷🏼 #ableg #cdnpoli theguardian.com/environment/20…
