  • Immediate unfollow.

    I wanted to balance out where I’m getting my news. But residential school denialism is abhorrent. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

  • Grade 9 communication class?

    Be nice to have someone read who can clearly speak. Especially when reporting on DEI issues. Someone with a speech impediment is clearly a DEI hire.

  • Three stars on a good day.

    Interesting and timely selection of stories reported with adolescent affect and awkward complexity. Sorry, True North — I keep trying, but I can’t seem to keep TDB in my lineup.

Alberta separatists win seats on UCP board of directors
Q: What does the election outcome mean for the Alberta independence movement and the UCP party?
The UCP now has a slim majority of pro-separatist board members, which may shift the party's messaging towards a more pro-separation stance in future discussions.
Conservatives demand Carney disclose and divest from Brookfield
Q: How could incorporating the private sector in Alberta's health care reduce wait times and improve service in general?
Bringing the private sector into Alberta's healthcare system can increase operational capacity, attract more professionals, and provide patients with choices for swift healthcare, improving overall service delivery.
Liberals spend $37 million fighting extremism, avoid mentioning Islam
Q: Is this a case of policy failure or is there some political calculus driving this approach?
It seems to be a mix of genuine policy failure and political incentives pulling in the wrong direction.
Carney calls Toronto “genius” for immigrant majority

They indicate a post-national, pro-immigration policy similar to that of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, but with a perceived disconnect between his rhetoric and policy actions.
CBC faces questions on DEI hiring and temporary foreign workers
Q: What else did conservatives pressure the CBC executives on during this committee?
