CBC science show Quirks and Quarks just had another great episode talking about the long term damage caused by each COVID infection.

If you're starting to wonder why so many hard-core scientists are so contemptuous of our public health institutions, listen to this.

Have you signed the petition to strip Elon Musk-olini of his Canadian citizenship?
Mr. Musk is pissed.
He has posted snarky comments claiming Canada is not a real country.
We can make this the largest parliamentary petition in CDN history.
Please sign and pass on.

Last year, the U.S. government debated then followed through on banning TikTok.

They said an app owned by someone close to an autocratic leader might be used as propaganda.

From a Canadian perspective, these concerns apply to the app formerly known as Twitter, writes @djclimenhaga.bsky.social.

And it happens again!

SEVERAL Republicans cross the aisle, vote against a bill that would remove trans kids from their parents.

They do so even after another Republican threatens them with primaries.

29 Republicans flip this time!

I will attempt to flesh out why the CBC's broadcast of Cross Country Checkup was so toxic today, since there are some people still expressing confusion or dismay at the criticisms, including my own, leveled at it.

“Join CBC next Sunday when they discuss CHILD ABDUCTION: A CONVERSATION.

Sure it’s illegal and immoral, but join hosts as they ignore that and discuss the pros and cons of abduction in a stimulating intellectual conversation.”

Obviously /sarc. Shame on the CBC for normalizing an act of war.
Join us Sunday across all CBC News platforms, 130 NPR stations and CSPAN for a very special live 🇨🇦/🇺🇸 call-in special. 51st STATE: A CROSS BORDER CONVERSATION hosted by Ian Hanomansing & Jeremy Hobson begins 4 p.m. ET

And there it is again. “Threat or comment, depending on your perspective.” No. The international rules are clear. You do not “muse” about annexing a country. It is, by definition, a threat. So disgusted with this.

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."
There have been a few times when Checkup has been hammered on social media for a program we haven't done yet. I'm in a show meeting right now. The gap between what's being posted and what we're actually planning is enormous. Our regular listeners should expect the same care we use for every show.

When the CBC has made Charlie Angus an opponent you know they've screwed up as badly as it's possible to do.
Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist.
I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps.
But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation.
Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

Now C-Span is advertising the topic as Trump’s “proposal”. It’s not.
It’s a threat of annexation. A threat against Canada’s sovereignty.
Sound bites could very well be used maliciously and out of context against Canada. The lives of Canadian citizens could be endangered by the fallout.
