This interview seems to make it clear some negligence on the part of CHUO's board of directors is a primary cause of the station's closure.

Michael Assivero, host of Caribbean Flavour, at the station for 29 years, says he only heard of the funding loss this past month www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Councillor Tim Tierney is wrong about ‘Chronic No-Voters’ in his Ottawa Citizen Op/Ed on Saturday.
His opinion would be easier to take seriously if the comments weren’t coming from someone with a 15-year track record of being a reliable yes-man for every budget. 1/21

Save #CHUO-FM!!! The closure of CHUO- @uottawa.ca would be a devastating blow to so many communities in the Ottawa-Gatineau region. It is one of the unheralded gems of the nation’s capital.

Why is @uottawa.ca willing to allow its flagship radio station #CHUO-FM to die? This is a multilingual cultural institution that has connected generations and amplified the voices of communities across the Ottawa-Gatineau region for decades.

The EU has slapped a fine on Musk's X because it is untransparent and supports deceptive practices. Nothing to do with "censorship."

"It is long past time for Europe to realize that, when it comes to the Russia-Ukraine war and the continent’s security, it is, at best, alone. At worst, it now faces two adversaries: Russia in the east and... the US in the west." foreignpolicy.com/2025/12/05/n...

Had a great conversation w/ @uh.edu scholar #DavidMcNally about his new book, “#Slavery & #Capitalism” @octopusbooks.ca event in Ottawa. Echoing CLR James, W.E.B. DuBois & Sylvia Wynter, McNally argues that the enslaved who worked the plantations of the Americas constituted a modern working class.

NEW VIDEO: We uncovered footage showing Pete Hegseth in 2016 saying the military won’t follow unlawful orders — the same point he has recently criticized Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, for making - and which Trump has said is punishable by death.

Incarcerating youngsters is catastrophic for them & for society. The proudest thing in my career was serving on the Dept of ⚖️ team overhauling 🇨🇦 youth justice system. 🧒👶 incarceration is ⬇️ 85% since we moved (minus most serious offenders) to meaningful community-based consequences, 20 yrs ago.

The @medillschool.bsky.social was silent as 200+ journalists were murdered in Gaza, was silent as their own students were threatened w beating by police, then suspended me and denied me tenure for standing w the students. It is not a journalism school, it is a school for teaching cowardice & fascism

YouTube video by In Bed with the Elephant (with Adrian Harewood) Andrew Johnston - Telling the Truth about Ronald Reagan

Through the lens of the Ford tariff ad, a discussion of Reagan and political legacy from the excellent In Bed with the Elephant podcast by @caradrianh.bsky.social, featuring Prof. Andrew Johnston (Carleton History):

Two realities to keep in mind

1) Mamdani CANNOT run for prez. Born in Uganda, no joke. That is huge blessing: means that his message and style can be judged on their own terms, not 'What does this mean for Iowa caucuses?'

2) Trump is weak and getting weaker, old and getting older. Supporters know

Nice. Honored to be reviewed alongside the great @brunoleipold.com

Trump is weak.

People who bowed down to him (Paul Weiss / Columbia / WaPo / Lindsey Graham / Mike Johnson downward) are even weaker.

Already starting a tally of people who stood up. Mamdani can't run for prez, but he can set an example.

#FatimaBala is the Canadian literary superstar most Canadians have probably never heard of. The romance novelist from Calgary has sold over 100,000 copies of her steamy books & yet still flies under the radar in her hometown. Among her Nigerian fans @akefestival.bsky.social she’s royalty!

Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?

TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person

Reporter: Are you affirming that you think the president is a fascist?

Mamdani: I've spoken about --

Trump: Just say yes, it's easier than explaining.
