Comox Valley farmers build food sovereignty by supplying local restaurants Food sovereignty starts in local fields and ends on the plate, but not all plates are served at home

Today's anti-Trump immigration protest took over the 101 Freeway in downtown L.A., as marchers held signs that said, “MAGA — Mexicans always get across” and “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you,” referring to farm workers.

Ford needs to cancel the 100M Starlink contract. Cancelling that would get DC's attention more than withdrawing US alcohol. If he won't, that becomes an election issue.

New research shows the problem of health misinformation in Canada is growing A new survey conducted by the CMA finds that health misinformation in Canada is a growing problem.

Tweet from Elon Musk, on a screenshot from a Wikipedia page reading: Musk's "festure was compared to a Nazi salute or a fascist salute." Musk: "Since legacy media propaganda is considered a “valid” source by Wikipedia, it naturally simply becomes an extension of legacy media propaganda!"

Musk is finally commenting on his Nazi salute, by insisting that Wikipedia is the problem.

Elon is a N4z1.
Elon supports Poilievre.

Vote for the candidate in your riding who has the best chance of beating Poilievre.

That's it. 🇨🇦

Dunno if Elon meant to throw a Nazi salute (twice) or not, but if they were a mistake coming from the guy who recently supported AfD (the far right German Party), it would be one of the biggest, ugliest, stupidest political gaffes of the last decade.

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute"

Historians: "that's a nazi salute"

Average person: "that's a nazi salute"

The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

Why Canada Would Win Trump’s Trade War | The Tyee Nobel-winning economist says US would take the biggest hit from tariff plan.

Canada may find itself in a stronger position than the United States if a trade war breaks out between the two countries. But don’t take @djclimenhaga.bsky.social’s word for it. #uspoli #canpoli

Well, America, we had a good run. I mean, mostly. Okay, not entirely. *flips through a history book* You know what, forget I said anything.

Arelis R. Hernández post on X: "Migrants in Ciudad Juárez who were waiting for their 1 pm CBP1 parole appointments learned 20 minutes ago that the app has shut down & those appointments are no longer valid." There is a screenshot of video. A woman lays her head in her hands, leaning against a pole, and cries. As the video playes, multiple cameras are pointed at her and there is the sound of a DSLR or film camera shutter going off.

The first visual of the Trump presidency at the border; a sobbing woman in Ciudad Juárez stands outside the Paso Del Norte port of entry, clutching a pole as she weeps having learned that her 1:00PM appointment for a chance to seek asylum in the US has been cancelled. x.com/arelisrhdz/s...

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

SO DONALD TRUMP HAS DECIDED TO ANNEX YOUR COUNTRY Somewhere, around Christmas, it became clear that Donald Trump wasn’t entirely joking about wanting to annex Canada. Here's what we can do.

Let's talk about how we get out of this moment of crisis, and where we go from there.

It's Ontario premier Doug Ford delivering a press conference with a MAGA-style "CANADA IS NOT FOR SALE" hat on

future generations will remember this as a time of hat-based diplomacy

Recommendations for modified isolation of symptomatic farmworkers.

Farmworkers have avoided bird flu testing bc they don't have paid sick days. Rather than offering to cover that loss, health departments have modified guidelines so that they can work while sick.

From the CA dept of public health:

Okanagan Winemaker Banned from Foreign Worker Program over Abuses | The Tyee Advocates welcome ban and $118,000 fine for Toor Vineyards.

Advocates are welcoming a rare decision to permanently ban an Okanagan winemaker from the Temporary Foreign Worker Program due to abuse.

But they warn more needs to be done to protect vulnerable workers. #bclab

Far from Hollywood's wealth, Los Angeles fire survivors feel forgotten In the close-knit Los Angeles suburb of Altadena, where rows of neat bungalows once nestled in the shadow of the San Gabriel mountains, smoldering ruins and the skeletal frames of burnt out cars now lie.

While the fires that have devastated celebrity neighborhoods near Malibu have caught the world's attention, a similar size blaze in Eaton Canyon, north of Los Angeles, has ravaged Altadena, a racially and economically diverse community reut.rs/3PuoYXv
