We are Canadians, therefore we are treacherous.
Nice to know what our dear neighbour really thinks of us.
The Atlantic suggesting, without evidence, that Canada's Global TV broadcasting the '60 Minutes' segment on CECOT that CBS distributed to it may have been an act of "treachery."

Is the government going to sit and watch while the #PalestineAction hunger strikers die? Is most of the media going to carry on ignoring them? Just how callous has the Establishment become?

It’s pretty sinister. The companies behind dating apps expressly don’t want users to find long-term relationships. If we find love, we use the apps less AND give them less of our data. 👀
I forgot most of these dating apps are pay to play. Capitalism gon have everybody lonely lmao

I kind of like this whole “We won’t buy your liquor but we will air your state-suppressed news stories” niche that Canada’s apparently carved out.

She launched her career trying to get professors fired in the name of academic freedom. Her website publishes a firehose of conservative propaganda in the name of open debate. She is now censoring factual information under the guise of journalistic accuracy.

The most impressive thing about Bari is her ability to violate ethical principles while indignantly claiming to defend them.
Weiss concluded: “We need to be able to make every effort to get the principals on the record and on camera. To me, our viewers come first, not a listing schedule or anything else. And that is my North Star, and I hope it's the North Star of every person in this newsroom.”

The "WE MUST DIALOGUE" crowd never quite explain the concrete process and sustainable outcomes dialogue should serve.

Treating dialogue as an end in itself is how Europe got in this mess in the first place.

I appreciate folks following the breadcrumb trail and not trying to jump to conclusions, but I’m not bound by those rules and I think “a media toady nuking a story about American concentration camps” is pretty self-explanatory

Sad death of CBS News as actual journalism

And a reminder that CECOT is a human rights travesty, and everyone up and down the Trump admin involved in illegally sending people there belong in The Hague.

On this day in Canadian parliamentary history - December 21, 1967: Justice Minister Trudeau gives a press conference outside the House of Commons on the government’s omnibus criminal law bill. His notable quote? “There is no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.”

Metro says it donated $1.15 million to food banks in 2025.

Metro reported net earnings of more than $1 billion in FY25.

Maybe Metro can spend some of the leftover money on an expensive consulting firm to help it figure out why it's not getting any sympathy on this.
A group called "Robins des ruelles" or Robins of the Alleys claimed responsibility for the heist. The food was distributed to the community in protest of predatory grocery inflation, that is feeding record profits.

"The reaction to the theft has been overwhelmingly positive on social media."

The added disheartening element to this is the absolute, total failure of the news media to serve as a guardrail to protect the truth. An appalling inability to call out lies for what they are.
As I've said before, it's a fault in me, but what I can't stand most in this Century more than the murder, dystopianness and corruption... is all the lying. To me, the pure shamelessness of the Axis of Lies and the ease with which the liars get away with it is the worst sign of species-wide decline.

Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.
