Sometimes I honestly don't get why progressives push to keep the CBC funded. Their news is nowhere near neutral. I'm not asking them to slant left, but just to be neutral and factual without trying to bias opinions.

Disrespect. I can't help but think it's intentional.

Always confrontational and looking for the gotcha moment. Why would anyone expect to get a pass for social media posts. A hate crime is a hate crime.

I share your struggle. I hope it's not indelicate to say, peeing wins every time.

When anger online feels too perfect, too fast, or too familiar… that’s your clue.
Not every voice you hear is a neighbour.
Some are built to divide, not to discuss.

Slow down.
Check the source.
Keep Canada whole.

We are whole

Shannon Proudfoot's column in the Globe & Mail today is a good read. While it focuses on the trade war and economy and Hot Air Pierre's constant berating of the PM. She basically concludes that PP isn't stupid but he seems to think the people listening to him are.

Who's paying the airfare?

Joan Skelton - Nasty But Nice Canadian @jskel70.bsky.social · 16h

Is he still on that? Get a new songbook or leave the stage PP!

I'm going to guess that he hasn't changed much since then in his approach to women.

Ohhh, don't let my husband of 45 years read this one please. He might change his thinking on what to look from in a life partner.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

The Cons are the least fiscally responsible in Canada. If media did its job, every Can would know that.

Harper inherited a $13.7 Billion surplus, which he quickly blew through. Then ran a decade of deficits. He then had a fake "balanced" budget ahead of the 2015 elxn by selling off GM stock at a $3.5B loss, taking $2B from the contingency fund, and underfunding Veterans Affairs. #cdnpoli 👇

Agree with her statement. But the HOC Question Period is garbage thanks to the Reformacon Party members. They're on the same unending loop of rage-baiting.

🇨🇦Canadians looking south can’t be smug: we’ve got lots of neo-Nazis too.
And they come in all shapes and sizes: just look at the KuKluxKonvoy that was allowed to terrorise our capital city for weeks on end.

What's the plan to prevent another outbreak? Perhaps a follow up story can address this critical question.
