I hope to never hear about those damned ostriches ever again.
On Friday’s CBC The National ostriches occupied the number 3 report segment, getting about 2 minutes and 30 seconds of coverage.
The Statcan jobs report which came out the same day? 24 seconds.

A reminder that in the most recent federal election most people still got the vast plurality of their news from mainstream media.
So, as much as fact checking is critical, just because something is a thing online doesn’t mean it has to be chased.
Serious issues matter.

New polling is in for #Budget2025 (c/o Innovative)
Not a bad outing. And more popular than all but 2 of the last 14 years.
But the Covid recovery budget of 2021 was most popular.
Harper’s cut of OAS budget was more unpopular than last year’s capital gains fight.
