29.04.2025 16:25 β π 303 π 102 π¬ 23 π 2There are two reasons why the Liberal Party of Canada won last night:
1) Trudeau did what was best for his country, not what was best for him, and stepped down to give Mark Carney a chance.
2) That asshole in the WH opened his mouth and attacked Canadian sovereignty.
Disinformation actors silence independent research on topics like climate, health, inequality, or information risks.
This is in an untenable position where researchers have to defend against their actions to remain independent.
We will not cede independence.

"We answered the call to defeat fascism. We know we are not always perfect, but we always strive to be good. We do not do things because they are easy, but because they are right. We will rise to meet this challenge, and we will emerge stronger."
We warned you of their plan

Without the CBC, foreign and corporate interests will dictate our news, silence independent journalism, and leave Canadians uninformed. We need our own voice now more than ever.
Pierre Poilievre plans to shut it down if he wins the election.
