"We'll invade you to protect and liberate you" is what Pu said to Ukr. Ru often insists it's the only guarantor of Ukrainian sovereignty. Now Trump is walking in Pu's footsteps by saying the only way Greenland can be sovereign/protected is by being taken over by the US. Surreal Ru-US convergence!

CBC’s mandate hasn’t been updated since 1991. As NDP critic for Heritage (Arts, Culture & Sport), I told @thehilltimes the CBC is vital, especially in rural Canada. Poilievre and Conservatives talk about cuts. We should strengthen public broadcasting, not defund it.

I'd also like to renew the call for media to stop using "Ottawa" as a shorthand for "The Federal Government."
It sounds like nitpicking a word choice but it absolutely contributes to a culture where people outside our city don't differentiate between a city and a government.
