A dotted line separates text at the bottom that reads: "When you recite a land acknowledgement, are you actually engaging with what it means to occupy stolen land? Are you encouraging your audience to learn about how the territories you live on were dispossessed and remain contested?"

With the Tylenol bullshit I’m reminded that women have always been the scapegoat.

Remember, they didn’t burn witches. They burned women. And I have no doubt that some would like to bring that practice back.

This is not right on any level. She was denied access in Vancouver and tried to go in the back door through Mexico. Why wasn’t she just denied again?

I decided to start a #thread 🧡 of stories about legal residents and tourists being (illegally) arrested, detained and/or deported by the Trump regime. I'll only post stories from serious sources, as rumors and conspiracies are really not needed in this authoritarian moment.

The case for boycotting the United States | Robert Reich If you are considering a trip to the US, please reconsider. Why reward Donald Trump’s America with your tourist dollars?

In B.C. we aren’t seeing enough Canadian produce! Gross American carrots are all I can find outside of the very expensive local farm. Guess I’m pay $1 a carrot.

Not to mention more fentanyl goes into Canada from the US then the other way around. Just a bunch of bs to start a trade war and destroy both economies.

For those of you in Alberta, pulling your hair out because ⁦β€ͺ@MarkJCarney‬⁩ will become a PM without a seat, how quickly you forgot this. It’s how the system works.

Fair enough. In all honesty I didn’t listen to the entire show. 9 minutes is ridiculous for that blow hard and I honestly think the support for his rhetoric is slim and deserving of about 30 sec.

The point of the CBC is to show all perspectives. As nauseating as some may be, if any perspective is ignored citizens feel ignored and defunding becomes a priority. Whether I agree or not is irrelevant, someone agrees and they deserve to be heard. Not listened to though. Kevin O’Leary is garbage.

I sure hope that Canada in particular learns from the US how fragile democracy is.

You guys really need to study what happened and prevent it from happening there. Oligarchy will be coming for you, but you have some time still to prevent it.

Love the CBC and think we should all be shareholders to keep it a news and culture source for the people. Cons shouldn’t be able to do shit with it without our approval.
