What exactly is Antifa? | CBC Radio In late September, Donald Trump designated Antifa a domestic terror organization. Today, we’re tracking the meaning and history of antifascist protest — from 1930’s Europe, to today — and asking: how ...

This is a really clear yet meaty interview with @mark-bray.bsky.social about the actual tactics and history of antifa movements. Will be sharing with students! www.cbc.ca/radio/frontb...

Thank you Joey

Thank you for your fight against Bill 5!

Picture of Ontario Liberal Caucus with text overlayed that reads: "Science-based, enforceable protections for endangered species aren't radical."

Doug Ford says only “radical environmentalists” oppose Bill 5. But wanting science-based protections for endangered species isn’t radical. Ford's labelling misidentifies genuine concerns to skirt accountability. I voted no on Bill 5 and will continue to unless key amendments are made.

Ontario Liberal MPP Ted Hsu has filed over 4000 amendments to stop Bill 5 - one of the Ford government’s most dangerous & anti-democratic bills.

This is about your clean water, air, and community. We will keep fighting until this government kills Bill 5 & gets it right. #onpoli

Climate + Trump Tariffs = Skyrocketing Costs 💸🔥

From food to hydro to insurance—it's all getting worse. Climate change and Trump’s tariffs are making life more expensive.

Sarnia City Council votes against an affordable housing proposal - the latest council in Ontario to do so.
One of the arguments against, which we hear in other cities, is that affordable housing will attract people from other cities needing affordable. sarnianewstoday.ca/sarnia/news/...

A Hitler-quoting 'Aryan' has the attention of JD Vance and Elon Musk—who is @captivedreamer7? The account, followed by JD Vance, previously boasted of being a white supremacist.

EXCLUSIVE: A Hitler-quoting ‘Aryan’ has the attention of JD Vance and Elon Musk—who is @captivedreamer7?

My latest with @kylebazgo.bsky.social for @dailydot.com identifies the likely operator of the anonymous racist account as Geoffrey Martin, a Canadian.

Tariff Relief & Retaliatory Measures: How Government's in Canada Should Respond - Environmental Defence EDC insights into how Canada's governments should respond to President Trump's tariffs to protect Canadians.

1/ In response to Trump's tariffs, Canadian govts should be using their most powerful tools (like export taxes on oil & gas) to cushion the blow for workers and communities and set Canada up to transition away from our dangerous dependence on fossil fuels

Listening to the show was excruciating and I listened to every minute of it. Americans praying for our freedom, oil sands dude saying we have no freedom, O'Leary spreading lies which are now gospel in the US. I truly feel this has done irreparable harm because now the clips are out there forever.

Agreed. You do not platform malicious notions on legitimate media when so much disinformation is already pushing said notions online. As Brexit and MAGA prove, it is a cancer. It will spread. The fascist right is following Goebbels' recipe to a tee, and very effectively. We must fight back.

Every Canadian upset w/ Cross Country Checkup for treating annexation rhetoric w/ sombre feigned objectivity should do this. Name both Editor-In-Chief Brodie Fenlon & Ian Hanomansing. Specifically mention how the debate normalizes rhetoric that promotes violation of sovereignty & international law.

Furious listening to O'Leary spit lies and streamroll over you, Ian, just as expected, just as we feared, and you did next to nothing to silence those lies. We are not at the bottom of the G7, our dollar has not lost 41% of its value it's lost 7%. Now that lie is 'out there' as gospel and fodder.

Sorry. Rachel Parent was 14 yrs old at the time she took down O'Leary's clearly unhinged and ill-informed BS:

Venn diagram of the three words “what,” “the” and “fuck.”

You know I love a good Venn Diagram. Been seeing this one around lately. Seems to sum up the times.

I don't think he is "uncover"?

A graphic titled 'Ontario Parties on Electoral Reform' compares the positions of four major Ontario political parties. It features headshots of Doug Ford (Ontario PC), Marit Stiles (Ontario NDP), Bonnie Crombie (Ontario Liberal), and Mike Schreiner (Ontario Greens). Below each leader’s name, the graphic summarizes their party’s stance. The Ontario PC Party has nothing in their platform, and Doug Ford is on record opposing electoral reform. The Ontario NDP supports Mixed Member Proportional Representation. The Ontario Liberals have nothing in their platform, though Bonnie Crombie previously said she would support a Citizens’ Assembly. The Ontario Greens support Proportional Representation and a Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform.

Ontario Strategic Voting Guide:

1. Vote for a candidate who supports proportional representation.

2. If enough pro-PR candidates win, they can implement it.

3. Next election, enjoy no more strategic voting, wasted votes, or false majorities!

Here’s where the parties stand:

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social How dare you. Just heard the pandering, chuckles, jokey-jokey on "Fresh Air" with US host/Alpha pathically attempting to defend today's X Country Check-up. This is not a "discussion". It's a threat to sovereignty. KEVIN O'LEARY is a guest? You are getting ratioed. Abort.

How dare you. I just heard the pandering, the chuckles, the jokey-jokey on "Fresh Air" with the US host and Esmaila Alpha attempting pathetically to defend today's program. KEVIN O'LEARY is a guest???? What the actual F***. Cancel this NOW.

The first time you covered this topic is an example. A few weeks ago your show topic was "should Canada become the 51st state"? I vomited in my mouth.

Ian your first show on this topic several weeks ago was equally infuriating, "Should we become the 51st state?" I was so deeply disappointed that you chose that topic and now this. Just Stop.

Why are you doubling down? The topic has been framed. We can read. No one likes it. Read the room. No one wants to speak to Americans!!!!!

Shameful for CBC to choose this clickbait topic with something so deadly important. YOU NEED TO STOP MAKING THIS A TOPIC OF 'DISCUSSION'. It's not our job to 'get our voices out there'. Our job is to get organized and make a plan to save our fucking country from a facist. Cancel this show.
