Here's another nose-stretcher from the Canadian Press. Some dude claims Canada is as anti-semitic as Nazi Germany and national media give him an unquestioned platform. Isn't there someone in an editorial newsroom somewhere who asks the obvious question "Why would we repost such bullshit?"

It gets worse. This so called US rabbi, representing the facist racist US & Isreal, and who recently met with Canadian officials is calling Canada Nazi Germany. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

According to Ukraine's acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha, their intelligence has detected that Russia is also taking part in the ongoing disinformation and disruption campaign targeting the EU and Spain with the so called "invasion of Ceuta". US and Russia vs EU.

We have detected an intensive Russian propaganda campaign across Europe using pictures from Ceuta to sow destabilization. There have been more than 1,500 publications on outlets identified by analysts as a pro-Russian network, led by Pravda and RT. Pravda Spanish has posted almost 300 of them. Every language edition of RT has pushed more than 25 news items on the issue. For years, Moscow has used migration and other sensitive topics to stoke fear and destabilize European countries. This is not about the situation itself, but about the way Russia tries to exploit any topic that can benefit its agenda. The only way to protect the public from this interference is to cut it off. All Russian propaganda resources should be completely banned in every European country that takes its national security seriously. https://x.com/andrii_sybiha/status/2083193448400593313

Top US officials amplifying the disinformation and disruption campaign targeting Europe; the US is attempting to destablise Spain and produce a right wing ecosystem to oust the current government. The campaign mirrors Russia's strategy, is being pushed by Trump admin.

ABC Vancouver told reporters that the Villages plan was “disrespectful”, that city staff went too far, and that they were protecting residents from the sins of bureaucracy. But who told city staff to come up with a transformative plan? Here’s the receipts.

Anyone remember the survey on electoral reform which, although Canadians voted overwhelmingly in support of it, the survey design indicated the opposite? I do. Same governing party.

Canadian arts and culture folks: the federal government has launched a (methodologically flawed) survey on "the Cultural Sector's readiness for Artificial Intelligence". If you're ready to resist or refuse genAI, here's your chance to let them know. pch.research-recherche.ca/f/s.aspx?lan...

We can't let ourselves forget: So many of our problems today are Harper's fault. It's not as though this funding magically came back when Trudeau became prime minister. (From a master's thesis in criminology by Kadance Backman, 2022.)

Arguably, the role of CBRF staff has become more important as parole officers’ caseloads have expanded while their resources have decreased. There are ongoing concerns about whether parole officers have the time and resources to effectively carry out their duties to ensure the safety and security of the community and assist with the rehabilitation of the offender (Union of Safety and Justice Employees, 2019). In 2012, the Government of Canada introduced the Deficit Reduction Action Plan (DRAP), resulting in reduced funding and reductions in staff, programs, and services in CSC. This policy created challenges for personnel across the federal corrections system.

This is honestly one of the most shocking images coming out of this administration and that’s saying something

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

I called Patty Hajdu's office today and someone actually answered. They greeted me with "let me guess, you're calling about Westjet?" Had a decent conversation in support of flight attendants' right to strike, and the repeal of Section 107 of the Canadian Labour Code.

WestJet Flight Attendants: Ready to strike to end unpaid work | CUPE 8125 WestJet Component

WestJet flight attendants aren't paid for boarding, safety checks or ground delays — up to 35 unpaid hours a month. See the facts about the possible strike and take action.

Carney caves to Trump again, and this is just going to be the American playbook from now on: any Canadian policy that inconveniences American businesses will result in trade antagonism until the PMO caves, meaning we have no real political independence worth mentioning.

The government's Online Streaming Act court filing confirms what it wouldn't say publicly: not just the CRTC's 15% decision but the 5% base contribution is being eliminated, with taxpayers on the hook for $600M to cover the costs. A full reset is coming.

When the government announced plans last month to kill the CRTC’s Online Streaming Act ruling, it left a critical question unanswered: was the target only the Commission’s decision to increase…

From CBC “For the first 15 years under that agreement, toll revenue will be used to pay for the bridge's maintenance and operating expenses. The rest of the money will be split, with Canada getting half and the other half going to an economic development fund controlled by the U.S. government.”

Trump: “Canada disinvited the US to the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, which is fine, considering they are paying substantial TARIFFS, but the original Deal on the Bridge, which was terribly negotiated by a previous Administration, no longer stands. We changed terms so that the US now gets 50%”

Trump: “Canada disinvited the United States of America to the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, which is fine, considering they are paying substantial TARIFFS to the United States, but the original Deal on the Bridge, which was terribly negotiated by a previous Administration, no longer stands. We changed the terms of the Deal so that the United States of America now gets 50% of the Profit. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
