Not only is this terrifying but also shows how ignorant he is of Canadian politics, Charlie is pretty well known, so to say he votes Liberal?!?

I spoke up about Pierre Poilievre today and got this threat on facebook. Josh Levy tells me to watch my back.
No Josh, I will keep speaking out about building a better Canada regardless of the threats you make to me or my loved ones.

"American social media posts mislead on Canadian gun laws"

Of course they do! And unfortunately, far too many Canadians read American news and social media bullsh*t & believe it to be true. Combatting US disinfo is one of the reasons why Canada needs to tighten up Canadian content/ownership rules.

A federal buyback of assault-style firearms from individual owners announced earlier this month prompted misleading social media posts from American influencers saying it will soon become "criminal" t...

Trump will never abolish ice, release the epstein files, or quit persecuting opponents, lgbtq+ or poc. Ever.

The only way to fix this is a general strike.

Totally agree. I’m exhausted from seeing and hearing about the US everywhere I turn. Their news, their politics, their celebrities, their movies, it dominates everything. I’d rather choose when I want to hear about them, not have it forced into every part of our media.

While the US continues to isolate themselves from any foreign influence, Canada & others continue to allow unfettered US dominance of our entertainment & news industries. It's time for Canada to fight for our sovereignty by limiting American influence with additional Cdn content/ownership rules.

Honouring British Home Child Day by remembering my great-grandfather, Albert Edward Barrett. Orphaned at 6, sent to Canada at 11 to work as a farmhand with wages withheld by Barnardo’s. He died at 31. Canada has acknowledged but not apologized for this history.

A black-and-white portrait of two young boys in dark clothing with white collars. They are sitting side by side, facing the camera with solemn expressions. The photo is old and slightly faded, likely taken in the early 1900s.

We’ve got some picky eaters in our family and this sounds like such a thoughtful way to approach food! A cookbook built around colour, taste, and texture to match sensory needs feels like a game changer.

Mattslew Batberg-Mothfit (any/all) @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social · Aug 1

I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.

Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books

An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

Immediately turned it off, for obvious reasons.
It's sad that our publicly-funded news is desperately trying to become the CNN of the north, showing American interest stories that are of absolutely no interest whatsoever to the vast majority of Canadians.
