Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Go check out an indie near you!

I scored these editions of Wuthering Heights and The Secret Garden that I've been hunting down for a while and I'm riding that high for the rest of the weekend.

Lovely people, we've made it to (nearly) the end of our whirlwind election cycle, and you know what that means.

This is our final Fact Check Friday over at @nationalobserver.com

This week was a doozy. Can Canada lower emissions by exporting LNG to India?

While you're there, you can click on the Reality Check tag and see all our fact-checks by @emilybaroncadloff.bsky.social and @rachelgilmore.bsky.social and the National Observer team.

This is a great initiative to get more informed before the big day. Why not start with some fact checks this week? Like this one: did the Liberals try to strip religious orgs of charitable status?

🚨IT’S FACT CHECK FRIDAY🚨

Is chaos and crime taking over our streets? Did Poilievre see 6 houses built, or 200,000? And what about…that…Rebel News question?

@emilybaroncadloff.bsky.social and I have the goods for @nationalobserver.com!

The director of the Royal Ontario Museum's board of governors has stepped down after questions were raised about his business’ links to deportation flights by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Are you watching either/both of the leadership debates this week?

The team over at @nationalobserver.com (along with @rachelgilmore.bsky.social and myself) will be watching, and listening for any claims that might need a fact check. Let us know if you hear anything you want more info on.

It's Fact Check Friday....(and/or, um, Saturday!)

For this week: Are there foreign governments meddling in our election? Do safe consumption sites work? Find out here and watch @rachelgilmore.bsky.social's comprehensive breakdown on youtube/tiktok/insta/wherever you can.
