6 Canadians — including a First Nations woman — have been detained by Israel after their aid ship was intercepted in international waters while carrying medical supplies to Gaza.

Canada must demand their immediate release.

Danielle Smith’s govt just locked out 51,000 Alberta teachers — after refusing class-size caps & fair pay.

CBC reports: this isn’t about space, it’s about priorities.
Kids lose when ideology wins.

At the White House, PM Mark Carney told Trump: “Canada is not for sale.” 🇨🇦

CBC reports no breakthroughs — tariffs stay, sovereignty defended.
Facts before spin.

Pierre Poilievre’s “grocery tax cut” stunt is pure theatre.
Most groceries are already tax-free in Canada.

Instead of going after Loblaws — whose execs his allies lobbied for — he’s pretending to fix a problem that doesn’t exist.

Trump’s proposed 25% tariff on heavy trucks could hit Canadian jobs, supply chains & prices hard.

Pierre Poilievre says he’ll “talk to Trump” for Canada — even though no one asked him to.
He shares Trump’s politics, not Canada’s values.
The majority voted against him representing us.
We are not the 51st state.

Thousands rallied in Edmonton for public education — calling out overcrowded classes, underfunding & privatization.

CBC was there covering what others ignore.

Pierre Poilievre laughed in Parliament as a 7th grader’s letter thanking MPs for the national school food program was read aloud.

He voted against that program.
Then mocked a child who supported it.

And no major outlet covered it.

Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl bonus album is iconic — but Moira Rose did it first.

CBC gave us camp, reinvention, & glam in Schitt’s Creek. Now it’s covering Taylor’s era too.

Support the storytellers. Save the CBC.

100+ Ontario mayors are pushing back on Ford’s threat to scrap school-zone speed cameras.
Critics say he’s pandering to drivers over kids’ safety.

🕰️ A new bill could end Canada’s biannual clock changes. MP Marie-France Lalonde says it’s “time” but not everyone agrees.
Should we keep daylight saving? Or ditch it for good?
CBC is covering the full story — and that matters.
Public interest journalism needs support.

Pierre Poilievre claims Christians are the #1 victims of hate crimes — but StatsCan shows it’s Jewish & Muslim Canadians most targeted. His speech is packed with racist dogwhistles, designed to make his base think they’re under attack by “foreigners.”

Poilievre is busy congratulating Trump — a president chasing a Nobel Peace Prize while fueling genocide in Gaza & chaos at home.

The “ceasefire” he’s cheering was negotiated by everyone but Palestinians. That’s not peace, that’s theatre.

🇨🇦 Trump wants Canada as the 51st state.
Carney’s answer was already clear: Never. Never. Never. Never.

Canada has no interest in joining the MAGA dumpster fire — especially when one of Trump’s first targets would be CBC, just like he went after NPR & PBS.

🧡 On #TruthAndReconciliationDay remember Pierre Poilievre’s record:

❌ Admired John A. Macdonald — architect of res schools.
❌ Said survivors needed “work ethic” not compensation.
❌ Voted against UNDRIP.
❌ Promised pre-approved energy projects without consultation.

Poilievre once called Ezra Levant his “mentor.” CBC reporting shows their long ties — while Poilievre keeps turning up with extremists and white nationalists.

CBC connects the dots: Canada + Greenland deepening ties, shared Inuit communities, and resisting foreign pressure.

In 1 week, Carney:
✔️ Recognized Palestine (with conditions)
✔️ Co-chaired coalition on Ukrainian children
✔️ Signed trade + defence deals w/ Mexico, Ireland, Indonesia
✔️ Announced $314M for aid + resilience
✔️ Pushed housing & major projects at home
CBC connects the dots. That’s why PP wants it gone

It’s a fact. Data from three decades of political violence reveals that right-wing terror attacks outnumber attacks from the left.

And it’s not even close!

🍞🥛 While kids go hungry, Conservatives mocked a National School Food Program as “bureaucracy.” They didn’t just vote against it — they laughed.

This shows what’s at stake: other parties pledge more for schools, Ford’s PCs look backward.

CBC exposed Poilievre’s ties to Canada Proud — the far-right disinfo machine now spending $200K attacking Mark Carney.

No wonder PP wants to kill the CBC. Without it, Canadians would only get his slogans, not the truth.
