Right wing Canadian influencer accounts and β€œreporters” from Rebel News were quick to share misinformation about the mass shooting in BC at Tumbler Ridge - and they posted photos of the wrong person.

Accountability is important.

Government of BC needs to follow New Brunswick’s lead. End use of X for any government information! Why support a pedophile and his pedophile AI?

I think it has already been reduced by 25% because of his behaviour, but it should be withheld completely. Maybe if he's not getting paid he'll actually just leave...

The "Donor by Province" numbers for Ontario and Manitoba are IDENTICAL?? Must be a mistake there somewhere.

If RHJ won't resign, the City needs to fully garnish (100%) his salary in order to try to recoup some of the massive costs he has imposed on the City with incredulous behaviour. Place a lein on whatever property holdings remain. RHJ and his purposeful ignorance is such an embarrassment! #Kamloops

It’s time to stand up for Canada The time for mourning the death of our once comfortable, prosperous relationship with our neighbour is over.

Rumours there will be a mixed fleet of fighter aircraft.
Lets face it, they have to pander to the crybabies.
Lets put some thought into this.
They pretend the F-35 is stealth. Lets humour them.
The F-35 can't have its radar on or else enemies would see it.
So it won't be able to secretly shoot

Why are ICE agents targeting Minneapolis?
YouTube video by The Economist Why are ICE agents targeting Minneapolis?

ICE in Minneapolis is not about immigration, it's about power over Blue cities/states

β€˜We’d be the main course’: Why calls for economic investment in the Arctic are getting louder Mining continues to be the main industry in the Arctic β€” but insiders say the full potential of resources here remains untapped.

Canada needs to start spending Billions of dollars NOW, and start ACTING to build infrastructure for Defence and investment. #CdnPoli Stop talking about it and start doing it!

"Just north" is about 250 km or 150 miles. Kamloops is at the Northern tip of a desert belt that comes up from NV, OR and WA

Umm… hard NO to this.

Has this master of strategery learned nothing from Trump’s behaviour? No amount of appeasement nor pride swallowing will satisfy Trump. It just emboldens the next ask/demand.

Firm resolve. Build what’s in our control. And stay the course as a sovereign nation. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

I have never been in a Walmart. I survive by buying groceries at reg grocery stores and getting other products from Canadian Tire or Giant Tiger. It's not that difficult really, also not that inconvenient.

Buy Cdn. It works. It once used to be difficult to get Cdn lettuce in winter - not anymore!
