Statement by Prime Minister Carney on World Press Freedom Day May 3, 2025 Ottawa, Ontario Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, issued the following statement on World Press Freedom Day: "In this time of crisis, we must protect what it means to be Canadian. A strong, independent, and free press both defines and defends our values. My new government will protect reliable Canadian public forums, so we can tell our own stories in our own languages. "Central to this work is strengthening our public broadcaster, CBC/Radio-Canada, which has stitched this nation together, reporting from Corner Brook to Trois-Rivières to Whitehorse to Comox, bringing Canadians together at critical moments. My new government will also protect and fund more local news, including those with Indigenous perspectives. "In a sea of foreign media and disinformation, we need Canadian voices more than ever."

No dates, never
/sarcasm
Netflix series: “Love on the Spectrum: Australia” 2 seasons A couple sits across from each other at a small table in front of a long hedge. It is evening. There is a strand of lights above their head and bright windows in a cityscape shining behind them. The adult on the left is wearing glasses, facial hair, short cropped hairstyle, a long sleeve dark sweater and grey denim pants. A bright floral collar is visible under the sweater. The adult on the right is wearing a dark brimmed hat, long brown hair that falls to the waist, silver, or white dangling earrings, a black blazer, and a floral dress or skirt that covers the legs. They seem engrossed in conversation and paying close attention to each other.

HOW TO INTERVIEW FASCISTS 1. Never let Fascists get away with using fake facts. Break their narrative continually by correcting them every single time they lie. 2. Always demand more concrete details about Fascist policies. Never let them get away with just describing their policies through slogans. 3. Always paint a concrete picture of what Fascist policies would mean in everyday life. It's vital to always pull their propaganda out of its populist bubble and put it into a real world scenario. 4. Always put Fascists under pressure. They often crack and make careless statements under pressure that can be used against them. 5. Be well prepared! Fascists have a practiced repertoire, and they've already rehearsed their answers to all your objections. You'll never just be facing one Fascist alone, but the whole propaganda system that stands behind them.

veryfakeryanpro 2h First they came for the LGBTQ+ community, and I said "no." Then they came for people of different races, and again, I said "no." And when they came for the poor, I proudly said "no." Now they are here for the penguins, and I'm just fucking confused.

TRUMP TARIFFS DRIVE MI GAS PRICES TO 2025 HIGH Despite Trump's promises to lower gas prices for American families, prices are continuing to rise. In Michigan, gas has hit a high of $3.19. With Trump's tariffs on energy imports triggering a surge in prices, Michiganders can expect prices to climb over the summer. @DISTILLSOCIAL

ISSUES LGBTO + Protections The LGBTQ+ community has historically been forced to be canaries in the proto-fascist coal mine and this time is no different. That's why even though Republicans are trying their best to villainize queer (particularly trans) people, we're not going to fall for it. Some Democrats might be happy to throw trans people under the bus for an interview with Steve Bannon, but l'm not. I refuse to meet this GOP smear campaign with anything except unflinching solidarity with the queer community. So here's what we should actually be doing:
