buff.lyIs Avi Lewis "Unsafe" or Just Uncomfortable? ”There’s a certain way of talking about this like it's a topic for polite discussion that I'm just unwilling to participate in anymore.

Who is Daniel Robson? When a Turkish journalist began asking Canadian editors to verify Robson’s biographical details, they realized they couldn’t and that Robson’s persona and writing was A.I. generated. @lefthandstu.bsky.social joins @julianabraham.bsky.social buff.ly/IGcWWLM

How did a garbage company become the “best” source for news in this major Canadian city? buff.ly/hR0gupW

buff.lyThe City that Gets its News from a Dumpster CompanyYou can't really call Regina a news desert. They still have a newspaper. But if you actually look under the hood you’ll discover that they stopped printing the newspaper in Regina. They stopped editing it in Regina. The editor lives somewhere else. And as far the CBC goes, well, that acronym is now synonymous with layoffs.

buff.lyThe Allison Inquiry: Time to Take Vaccine Injuries SeriouslyHe was the doctor who almost got Joe Rogan cancelled. The controversy he roiled on Rogan brought the show some its highest ever ratings. So you might have been among the 40 million who caught Dr. Peter McCullough on Rogan where he spoke out against the COVID vaccine near the start of the pandemic. He was accused of undermining public health efforts and spreading misinformation. And last week Dr. McCullough was on Parliament Hill.

 ” The whole newsroom was running around. Chrystia Freeland was our managing editor, and she says, "Charter a plane, charter a plane." And I go, "The skies are closed. So then she says, "Get in a car." Jan Wong joins @jessebrown.bsky.social buff.ly/eciMryL

buff.lyCanada's Warped Memory of 9/11There was no shortage of retrospective 9/11 coverage in Canadian outlets, but the tone and focus was a lot different than south of the border. Jean Chretien’s address in Gander foregrounded how much has changed in the Canada/US relationship, while a Canadian Press article focusing on Islamophobia caused outrage online.

canadaland.comCanada’s Right-Wing Meme WarA trend of “Blame Canada” memes is causing a schism amongst conservatives. Far-right conservative influencers are gleefully amplifying MAGA-style messaging around Carney and Canada, while more moderate conservative voices are calling them “traitorous.”

Mark Carney admitted we are at war with the United States. What if the cost of war is your right to strike? buff.ly/i3I94xO

canadaland.comDoes War with Trump Mean War on our Unions?In recent years, the federal government has increasingly used Section 107 to intervene in strikes involving workers in industries like rail, airlines, and the postal service. Now, employers are pushing for new rules that could give the government more tools to prevent major work stoppages in the first place.

“Economic sovereignty is military sovereignty. Without it, we will become a victim.” -Cameron Chell, CEO at Canadian drone company, Draganfly buff.ly/19eDuIZ

canadaland.comHow Canada Wins at DefenceAs recent events in Ukraine, Russia, and Iran have clearly demonstrated, the nature of modern warfare is changing fast (think: drones). Canada will get left behind if it doesn’t start innovating fast. And that could have not just a winning effect on its defence capabilities but also it’s an opportunity to stimulate other industries.

The Chinese authorities put my whole family in jail. My parents, my brothers and sisters, my wife, my three children. At that time, we used to say jail. Nobody used to say concentration camps. - Prime Minister Abdulahat Nur buff.ly/LzJikCu

canadaland.comThe Prime Minister in Exile Who Drives a Bus in EdmontonAbdulahat Nur grew up in East Turkistan. That’s what many Uyghurs, a Muslim Turkic people of Central Asia, call it. But if you’re a Chinese state official the region is called Xinjiang, or “New Frontier.” For many it echoes the same sort of arguments that surround Tibet. China's treatment of the Uyghurs has led to intense international scrutiny, particularly its use of internment camps or what China calls “vocational training centres.”
