I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

It is about time that the Canadian government ends subsidies for foreign owned news organizations in Canada and exclusion from the Canadian Journalism Labour Tax Credit, Canadian Periodical Fund, Digital News Subscription Tax Credit, and the Canada Media Fund.

The BBC claims to have “research” that supports its decision to use abusive transphobic terms for trans women.
But it will not share that “research”.
At the most basic level research is not research if it is not published.
It is just a lie. The BBC is lying.

The BBC have been going full on ‘teach the controversy’ in the name of impartiality on an increasing number of subjects for well over a decade, I don’t know you can possibly be surprised by this now
I’m really quite surprised at the BBC website today. ‘Here is a video, some people say it does not show what it very obviously shows’ is not how you report this.

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.
Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

If I were a PM who believed we were at a global rupture moment, upending decades of international order, and requiring totally new relations with the world, I probably wouldn’t cut my foreign affairs staffing and budget by 15%

Wonder why Carney decided the US wasn’t reliable
Trump: "Canada gets a lot of freebies from us. They should be grateful but they're not. He watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful. But they should be grateful to us. Canada. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, next time you make your statements"

This raises some pretty big questions
It’s not just McBride.
I’m not sure the public realizes how deeply the 🇨🇦 + 🇺🇸 military integrated.
So if CAF are carrying out Trump’s orders on exchange - what happens if there’s a conflict between the two country’s interests?

Nuanced take: I think it's really important to give *normal citizens* who supported Trump and off-ramp and *professional writers, pundits and politicians* who supported Trump should have to wear it like a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives
This is aggravating, because on the one hand I think it's really important to give fascists an off-ramp and positive reinforcement when they use it...
