“During this election I see one party advocating for the defunding of Canada’s public broadcaster. “Perhaps you need to have grown up with Fox News in your household to understand the urgency of this issue.” @willshelling.bsky.social writes. #CdnElxn2025 #CdnMedia

I grew up with Fox News. Now in Canada, I worry about the corrosive power of misinformation.

Unfortunately I haven’t seen many people talk about this but it deserves a lot of attention right now. Canadian democracy is under threat by institutions that should be fostering it. McGill is “obeying in advance” the hidden orders of the tyrant in Middle East. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Trump’s executive order aims to cut library services to the absolute minimum. This will threaten services like libby, hoopla, and so many other great things that democratize access to media and education. Go to the link below to sign the petition and contact your reps if you’re in the U.S.

Do not travel to the US. Tell people who aren't as tuned into the daily news about all this. I've run into people who weren't so aware of what's going on. Stay away from America.

Wow this had a much needed clarification for me on Jessica Wetz’s saga with the NDP. Jagmeet who immediately picked on Carney’s chief of staff to pick up Arab votes, did this to a woman who simply talked about dehumanization of children of Gaza. Shame on NDP for how they treated her.

You can hear the full call in the video Rachel released today. If CTV thought the disingenuous right-wing troll campaign was bad, they should experience way worse for throwing Rachel under the bus like this.

It’s stunning how the Executive Producer acknowledges she knows the hate Rachel has to deal with, but says CTV — a large news organization — doesn’t have the “bandwidth” to deal with it, so cuts ties with Rachel and continues to leave her to deal with it on her own. Shameful isn’t even the word.
The audio recording shows CTV management acknowledged it was already aware of the harassment Gilmore regularly faces before offering her the weekly segment, but then balked after management was put in a position to respond.

“I followed you for a long time, ” MacLean told Gilmore. “I’m well aware of the trolls that you deal with and it is really shocking and disappointing.”

“But I have to say, I knew that you had that troll base and I knew that we would get some sort of reaction, but I really did not realize the extent of the volume of that push back that we had.”

Absolutely shameful that CTV caved to a disingenuous right-wing pressure campaign instead of standing their ground. It presents even more red flags about the state of the media in Canada. @rachelgilmore.bsky.social did not deserve to be treated this way.

If you are worried about disinformation and media manipulation in this election give a pass to @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social They caved to pressure from Pierre Poiievre's online posse in their continual harassment of @rachelgilmore.bsky.social She is a truth teller. CTV is not.

Shame on you for cancelling the fact checking segment affecting ONLY the most important vote in my generation. Thanks for showing the world where you stand in this crucial fight for Canada and Canadians. I’ll be sure to turn my ears and eyes away from your programming wherever it is presented. Shame

yep 100%. Pretty sure it is on purpose to make you turn off your privacy features. I switched to DDG last year. Individual websites by other business giants (like major retailers) also substantially slow you down if you have privacy features and or VPN enabled.

Wow there’s just so many. I really like “Ecstasy of gold” by Ennio Morricone. Gives a really badass feeling, like if you’re about to do something high stakes, just listen to that, get pumped up, then get in there and rock it + The Amélie score by Yann Tiersen, very different vibe but still awesome 😅
