Global News’ Ben Mulroney Shared a Video of Airstrikes. The Footage is Actually from a Video Game.
The host of Global News’ West Block gets lost in a misinformation-driven fog of war as American and Israeli forces strike Iran
NEW FROM ME:
While US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran this weekend, Global News' The West Block host Ben Mulroney reposted video of fighter jets that had been miscaptioned as American F-15s attacking Iran
I double-checked. Ben was actually sharing footage from a video game

Who is Barry Neufeld, the Former School Trustee Who’s Become a Cause Célèbre for the Canadian Right?
Neufeld's history of incendiary comments goes beyond those that led BC's human rights tribunal to order he pay $750,000 to Chilliwack's LGBTQ teachers
Today, BC's opposition supported the introduction of a bill to abolish the province's human rights tribunal and repeal its human rights code.
It didn't even pass first reading, but here's some important background on the guy for whom BC's right is now going to bat:

Last year, 800 workers in Edmonton voted to leave the Christian Labour Association of Canada (CLAC) and join the IUOE. Months later, CLAC was singled out by MP Heather McPherson’s bill to ban “company unions.”
But what is CLAC? I dug into the union’s history and operations for @pressprogress.ca

My latest for PressProgress. Grocery prices have gone up this past year, and some Canadians are having to make some tough choices.

"We're trying to open the Overton Window ... and this is an example of Jason Kenney actually trying to close it," Malcolm says, accusing Kenney of using a "tactic of cancel culture"

Juno News really has been outdoing itself these past couple weeks.
From the same “news” outlet that’s been relentlessly pushing the idea that trans people are violent.

Oh for a world where right wing movements weren't so extreme in their racism (yet still platformed) that I didn't have to agree with Jason Kenney.

One thing I didn't realize until digging deeper is how close the Exigent Foundation's ties are to Israeli deputy foreign minister Sharren Haskel (Exigent was funded through her ministry)
Haskel is Toronto-born and belongs to a right-wing party that is even more right-wing than Netanyahu's Likud

Larry Maher:
"I've just returned from leading my seventh delegation since early 2024. This delegation spent time traveling throughout Israel, reaching the borders of Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and into Judea and Sameria. Participants had the opportunity to engage with Jewish Israelis as well as Christian and Muslim Palestinians, gaining firsthand insight into how their lives have been impacted over the past couple years. The delegation met with academics, security advisors, and political figures to better understand a range of perspectives in and outside of Israel and the outlook on the future. Exigent Foundation @exigentimpact has emerged as a leader in organizing missions to the middle east, for Canadian delegations to experience the complexities of the region and gain a better understanding of the origins of extremists ideologies on our democratic institutions and societies in the west. @HaleviAmit @AmirOhanal"
"A real honor to spend time with some great Canadians that served their country. A group that includes several retired Generals, Vice Admiral and security experts from the Canadian Military and Intelligence. Mark Norman, Stephen Rigby, Jonathan Vance, J. Paul de B. Taillon, Mark Misener, Kevin Vuong, Walter Semianiw, Eyal Hulata thank you for supporting Exigent Foundation."
The dates align with two trips the group organized in October and November 2025 featuring:
1. Media personalities from True North / Juno, Western Standard and National Post
2. Canada's former Chief and Vice-Chief of Defence Staff, Stephen Harper's former national security adviser and Kevin Vuong
