Sound familiar? Pretty sure there was no negotiating a new deal with Hitler.

Personally find other peoples opinions the least important thing to read in a newspaper, but this seems like a slippery slope. Will fact based news be next?

I did someone made an error and corrected it. You seemed to not realize or give credit for that correction and inflated it.
Nothing wrong with people expressing. Their option but opinion has no place when reporting. Only fact and you failed on that

I see you’re a journalist that depends on the use of words correctly to convey a message. So why did you misquote the cross country checkup question. Are your opinions clouding your journalistic integrity?

I see some people are upset with our topic Checkup Sunday. With President Trump repeating his "51st state" comments, we feel it is important to talk about. Even better, for Americans to hear our voices via the NPR stations that will be simulcasting.

I’m sure you did your due diligence and back checked this post. Something simply like checking the actual cross country checkup website, to be sure that someone’s personal opinion was not clouding their judgement, and warping the meaning of the actual (factual) wording of the question.

The image of the post you are responding to is not factual. Always good to double check info before rally troops. Suggest going to the actual source cross country checkup. And reading their summary of Sunday’s talk.

Check the cross country check up website. Read the actual question. Then direct your rage accordingly.

Local news matters: CBC to hire more journalists, launch new platforms | CBC News There are a number of important initiatives underway to build CBC News service and connection in small communities β€” including a significant expansion of local journalism in underserved markets.

CBC News is hiring reporters in more than a dozen new cities including Fort St. John, Salmon Arm, Abbotsford, Penticton, Red Deer and Banff, using money paid out by Google under the Online News Act (the act that prompted Facebook to remove news in Canada rather than pay)

IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trumpβ€˜s constant claim that the United States is β€œsubsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

E&E News: API seeks β€˜durable’ oil policy changes under Trump The CEO of the American Petroleum Institute said oil and gas companies are looking for laws and regulations that will outlast the new administration.

American Petroleum Institute CEO Mike Sommers questioned Trump’s pledge to put a 25% tariff on Canadian goods imported to the U.S. - which could include Canadian crude oil

Refiners have said that potential tariff could cause U.S. gasoline prices to spike

Hey Alberta - after the bubble-headed deal for the Turkish Tylenot, and the back-room games they're playing with open-pit coal mining, how confident are you Danielle Smith isn't suddenly going to announce she's sold the province to Trump for a MAGA hat and "these really cool magic beans"?
