🚨 Fake CBC “headlines” are spreading in conservative spaces — fabricated to look real & discredit CBC.
They’re meant to seed doubt, not truth.
Always verify: real CBC stories have links.

At my physio office, they have slippers of various sizes in a basket at the door. Once worn, you throw them in the ‘dirty’ bin.
I think I’m of the age to start offering this to my guests. Warm feet, covered & clean 🤗. Everybody wins.

Sums up the irony and, frankly, the incredible inappropriateness of this practice.
Glad they also mention it’s not new, either - just enjoying a resurgence.

Over the last few months, some US tourists have revived a decades-old practice of masquerading as Canadians in order to avoid anti-American sentiment abroad under the Trump administration. https://cnn.it/4nuJ1Uw
