This isn’t hard, so CBC needs to stop being obtuse. The Commander In Chief of the most powerful military force the human race has ever produced has threatened to annex Canada. That’s against the law. And a big effin problem. Apparently it needs to be explained to BOTH Canadians and Americans.

Also, and I can’t believe I have to say this, NPR and CBC, but annexing sovereign countries isn’t a “proposal.” Not Poland, not Iraq, not Canada - no “proposals” in any of these cases. It’s not a grant application, it’s a violation of international law and an abomination.

Hanomansing and Richard Goddard must go. Their utter ignorance of the Overton Window, how propaganda fabricates consent by repeating intolerable ideas; their both-sideism & engagement baiting in these dangerous times are unacceptable. www.cbsc.ca/make-a-compl... cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/ombudsman...

The entire premise of the show was wrong -- treating the idea of annexing Canada as an open-ended question and inviting people to share their ideas and feelings. For goodness sake. Could the producers of the show have come up with anything more offensive and stupid?

It’s stunning ignorance? Or an effort to normalize something that is not normal or acceptable. Trying to invent a different context; the premise from the start is wrong.

People really don’t seem to understand that “annexation” means a forcible takeover and is a violation of international law. It’s Russian-Ukraine, Israel-Gaza, not a referendum where people hold hands and sing Kumbaya.

It’s Johnathan Swift minus the satire.

I say we all stop watching CBC until they get their shit together. As always (sadly), money/ratings are their currency. We hold the power

I emailed CSPAN exactly this earlier today. Anyway, they sent me a ticket number.

I emailed the CBC Ombudsman yesterday to express how appalling I thought this was.

Would have been much more productive for 🇨🇦 if CBC had focussed on how we can defend ourselves and become more resilient. For example, drawing lessons from other democracies next to unstable autocracies.👇 And talking to actual experts, not quislings like O’Leary.

Better Pensions BC 🇨🇦🇺🇦 - now with 50% more anti-fascism!@betterpensionsbc.bsky.social

Mere months ago, the following words would have seemed wildly hyperbolic: Canada🇨🇦 must strengthen its defences vs. the US, fast. Our democracy + sovereignty is in serious jeopardy. We only have a few months to get going. Luckily, we can learn from other small democracies, like 🇫🇮+🇸🇪+🇳🇴, with long… 1/x

Sweden, Finland and Norway release new advice on surviving war

Sweden said the new advice follows a worsening security situation, by which it means the war in Ukraine.

They should at least have the dignity to say we would have to be more than one state. Why immediately cede the framing to the Worst Guy with the Worst Framing, CBC????

Yeah, the CBC sucks. It's sucked for a while now, unfortunately as it, like the rest of the Canadian mainstream media, has shifted to the right-wing. I've gone to other places for decent news coverage and generally ignored them.
