Once upon a time there was a human who was called a journalist. They uncovered facts and reported on them. Imagine that.....

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Drop the EV tariffs.

China’s ambassador to Canada, Wang Di, just told Canadians through CTV, that if we drop our EV tariffs, China will drop tariffs on Canadian goods - including canola - and commit to buying Canadian oil and LNG. Wang says China’s door for more Canadian crude oil “will be open.” #cdnpoli

Drop the tariffs on EVs now. My own opinion is that they shouldn't have been on to begin with frankly.

100% tariffs on China.

Hitler's brownshirts weren't the cream of the crop either. History rhymes again.

1. Today, I have a few things to say about that putz Stephen Miller. First, he’s been on TV a lot lately, because that’s how he pours more poison into the president’s already-poisoned brain.

I get diplomacy, but our PM is way over the top here.

Okay, yesterday I said I understood the light flattery, but this is too much now

Mark Carney in Facebook:
Congratulations to President Trump for his essential leadership and thank you to Qatar, Egypt and Türkiye for their tireless work to support the negotiations.

I am relieved that the hostages will soon be reunited with their families.

After years of intense suffering, peace finally feels attainable. Canada calls on all parties to swiftly implement all agreed terms and to work towards a just and lasting peace.

Well this Canadian calls that Strike Number One on our PM. This is disgusting.

Must have made a deal behind the scenes on the Epstein files to get that ceasefire.

Rowan @rowancanadian.bsky.social · 3d

So the 🍊🤡 had a roundtable on the horrors of "Antifa"?

FFS. Another distraction.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

What a dick! No, it's because you, Trump, are a monster sized asshole and Mark Carney is not.

Trump takes credit for Carney’s popularity

Trump’s first words in the Oval Office: “It's an honour to have the Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, who I have made very popular.”

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
