This campaign may be coming to an end, but the fight for the CBC continues. Stay with us.
And maybe that’s why the response to the efforts of Rebel and its bastard son, True North, to derail the Q&A at the leaders’ debate has been so muted. Why many, even in the media, are being so polite about it all.

I always say ‘elbows up’ when talking strategy, advocacy and the need to protect our own. It is such a part of Canadian culture I honestly had no clue (but should have) that it came from Gordie Howe
Couldn’t say it better. Go vote Ontario. Every vote counts.
We cannot say that we love our country, while at the same time vowing to destroy an institution that is almost 100 years old like CBC/Radio-Canada. It protects the sovereignty of our culture, languages, and information. This is my plan for a better CBC.👇

CBC's wall-to-wall coverage of this crisis is another great example of why we should value Canada's public broadcaster
With literally minutes left in his presidency, Joe Biden has granted clemency to Leonard Peltier
This past week was John A. Macdonald's birthday, and the far-right never misses a chance to defend JAM. What's interesting, is that this year Pierre Poilievre joined the chorus of residential school denialists et. al seeking to whitewash JAM's legacy. As a historian, here's a 🧵

In 2024 I spent all my time working to make the Canadian screen industry more equitable. I will continue this work in 2025 because we’re just not there yet. Some days my goal to change the world seems impossible and it’s hard. Thank goodness for the wins and my community of fellow change makers
