I've got a sinking feeling about this...

"It also protects the campaign from having to answer tough questions and is a marked departure from previous Conservative campaigns I have covered."

Scroll down to "A dispatch from the Poilievre campaign"

"But the extreme message control makes it all but impossible to bring the same level of accountability to the Poilievre campaign that other campaigns are subject to."

Poilievre Stop in Fish Plant Smells | Canadian Journalist Conservative Party of Canada election campaign stop in a fishing village in Newfoundland turns into a spectacle of party animosity towards media coverage.

"After many years of covering election campaigns in Canada, USA and Europe, the Conservative Party of Canada is the most outwardly aggressive and uncivilized that I’ve witnessed."

CBC is public media—owned by Canadians, not the government.

If it were propaganda, Poilievre wouldn’t want to kill it—he’d want to use it.

CBC holds power to account. That’s why they fear it.

Inspired by @mark-carney.bsky.social and Canadians everywhere. We’re all fighting back on our home ice!

Last weekend I cleared a bunch of thorn bushes from the side of the house using loppers and a lawn mower. I think people would pay $90 or more for that experience.

We're retaliating by putting an export tax on all the Canadian locations in "I've Been Everywhere" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27ve_...

That's an unfortunate abbreviation.

The Ernie mugshot is especially intriguing.

Not Bert. Not Bert. Not Bert. Not Bert. Not Bert. Not Bert. Not Bert. Not Bert. Not Bert. Not Bert. Not Bert. Not Bert. Not Bert. Not Bert. Not Bert. Also Not Bert.

Profound question for 12:20 AM: Why, when I ask Midjourney to create an image of Bert from Sesame Street as a visual pun for deep learning, do I get a set of characters that range from "Ernie-ish" to "WTF", but no Bert?

A dangerous precedent. This is a cowardly folding by CTV. The right instigated an online troll attack campaign, offering no evidence of their claims, and the network folded.

Viewers and Rachel deserve better.

I would tell a 21-hour long academic shaggy dog joke.

Political ad, but a good one.

Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism".
