So Donald Trump tells us he doesn't like Pierre Poilievre. Lol. The MAGA team know that a Trump endorsement is a political death wish. Poor Pierre. He's their boy and has no respect. Don't get fooled. He is their favourite sock puppet.

Time to ban X in Canada. At this point it’s effectively a propaganda arm of a hostile state - in terms of both intent and impact on credulous users, doesn’t seem much different than Nazi radio broadcasts during WW2 or Kremlin BS spreaders like Russia Today.

Again, if you are looking to speak out against what’s going on, I cannot recommend attending a #TeslaTakedown enough. Find one in your area, show up and hang out with cool people who also care, and it’s a great way to make connections to get further involved in your local community.

You made this statement a year ago Brodie. How much trust do you think using the language of a fascist is gaining your organization? 51st state is not a "comment", it's not a "proposal". It's a threat. Say it with me Brodie, it's the threat of illegal annexation of the sovereign nation of Canada.

Leaders of traditional Canadian news outlets admit they have a crisis on their hands. Their organizations depend on trust — and Canadian citizens increasingly appear not to trust them, or even consider their work relevant. This applies to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation too. An international study published in 2023 by the Reuters Institute found that only 19 per cent of Canadians said "public service journalism" was important to them.

C-SPAN is now advertising @ianhanomansing.bsky.social’s proposed program on CBC as “CBC News Simulcast of Canada as the 51st State Proposal”. Canada’s sovereignty is being threatened. You can file a complaint with the CBC Ombudsman: cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/ombudsman... #cdnpoli #canpoli

A screen shot of a C-SPAN page showing
February 23, 2025 as the date of the program. The headline reads “CBC News Simulcast of Canada as the 51st State Proposal”. The description says ”C-SPAN simulcasts a special Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) production on Pres. Trump's proposal to make Canada the 51st state. The special is a joint production of the radio shows Cross Country Checkup and The Middle with Jeremy Hobson.”
Icons with links to social media sites are included, followed by a picture of the Canadian flag. The bottom text reads “watch live at 5:06 PM AST February 23, 2025 on C-SPAN.org”.

At least 2 petitions I am aware of, are there more? www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Petition to the Prime Minister
Whereas:
Elon Musk has engaged in activities that go against the national interest of Canada;
He has used his wealth and power to influence our elections;
He has now become a member of a foreign government that is attempting to erase Canadian sovereignty; and
The attempts of Elon Musk to attack Canadian sovereignty must be addressed.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Prime Minister to revoke Elon Musk's dual citizenship status, and revoke his Canadian passport effective immediately.

Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
The Canadian government and its agencies have historically used social media to provide timely updates during crises and major events;
Twitter, now known as X, has become a platform widely criticised for amplifying misinformation, conspiracy theories, and harmful rhetoric; and
The government's continued use of X legitimises and directs traffic to a platform that no longer prioritises fact-based, accessible public communication.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to transition official government communications away from Twitter/X to more secure, community-regulated platforms that prioritise public safety, accurate information, and accessibility. We encourage the government to explore publicly accountable alternatives, including decentralised networks, to ensure reliable and responsible communication with Canadians.

Now C-Span is advertising the topic as Trump’s “proposal”. It’s not. It’s a threat of annexation. A threat against Canada’s sovereignty. Sound bites could very well be used maliciously and out of context against Canada. The lives of Canadian citizens could be endangered by the fallout.
