Dear CBC,
Today’s show needs to be cancelled
Wrong choices were made
O’Leary is not a legitimate voice on Canadian sovereignty
He tried to sell Canada and profit from it
Pause this conversation, make better choices

Kevin O’Leary is a traitorous liar. He did NOT deserve to be heard on Cross Country Checkup on the #CBC today. Canadian sovereignty is NOT up for debate. It would mean war. This was an upsetting show from our national broadcaster. #FightFascism #DefendDemocracy #CanadianSovereignty #CDNpoli

Why are you taking calls from Americans though? Why do they deserve a voice on our sovereignty?

There is no crossborder "conversation" to be held about sovereignty. Sure, we Canadians can talk about it. And Americans can listen. But unless we are already no longer sovereign, they don't get a say. That's the *entire* point of sovereignty.

Trudeau: "I want to speak directly to Americans... Tariffs against Canada will put your jobs at risk... They will raise costs for you, including food at the grocery store and gas."
Canada's prime minister is more honest with the American people than America's own president.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

I hope Ontarians look around and realize that this is Ford's fault - this is the path we're on if we keep voting for him. If we want better, we have to convince our friends and neighbours to vote differently.

This is a remarkable moment. Trump and Vance sit there in silence, as a bishop pleas with them to lean on their better angels and not follow through with their depraved campaign promises that target the LGBTQ+ community and immigrants.
Never seen anything like this.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
