There are major threats to Canada's sovereignty right now. Losing our public broadcaster is one of them.
The CBC -as we know it -will cease to exist if Mr. Poilievre wins on Monday.
I think that matters.

Do you think you're sitting still right now?

- That star is orbiting the centre of a galaxy at 230km/s

- That galaxy is moving trough the universe at 600km/s.

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open 🦋

Everyone's voice was suddenly lifted;
And beauty came like the setting sun:
My heart was shaken with tears; and horror
Drifted away ... O, but Everyone
Was a bird; and the song was wordless; the singing will never be done.
