A clip of a lesbian penguin, soundtracked by Chappell Roan's "The Giver", is being hailed as an ideal antidote to all of the bad news lately.

Journalism prof here.

That show was shallow, professional malpractice, @ianhanomansing.bsky.social @brodiefenlon.bsky.social @listentothemiddle.bsky.social.

You MUST learn to do Trump era journalism (I can send readings/arrange tutoring) or quit.

Pls reflect, apologize, repair what you’ve done.
After a weak & defensive intro that strategically avoided critiques of the show (eg, people don’t like your *revised* question), @ianhanomansing.bsky.social just said that Kevin O’Leary *will* appear on the program.

Colossal failure, Ian.

Very disappointed in you, @brodiefenlon.bsky.social, & CBC.
Oh, @ianhanomansing.bsky.social — please confirm that Cross Country Checkup has *not* invited Kevin O’Leary as a “guest caller”?

The show has been ill-conceived & mis-framed from the start, but it’d be journalistic malpractice for you & the show to platform him.

You have power, be responsible.

What drove home for me why this show never should have happened was the Cdn trans person who choked up saying that their *existence* depends on freedom from an authoritarian US government.

We DO NOT have national call-in shows where someone’s existence becomes part of a debatable issue.

Full stop.

The 30-day tariff reprieve should super-charge Canadians to:

- anticipate & prepare for future Trump chaos;

- strengthen Canadian media+tech infrastructures (sans US tech bros);

- support Canadian businesses;

- diversify economic markets;

- elect leaders who prioritize Canada & Canadian values.

I’m a three minute walk from Lake Ontario and have recently found myself walking along the beach almost every day. Recently, I stood by the shore as the ice sizzled—almost like it was on fire, and I was reminded how lucky I am to live in this land.
