My letter to the CBC ombudsman regarding tonight's show, "51st State: A Cross Border Conversation." To summarize: What on Earth were you people thinking?

To the CBC Ombudsman: I am a lifelong CBC listener and supporter who is deeply troubled about the Feb. 23 Cross Country Checkup special show, “51st State: A Cross Border Conversation.” The CBC’s apparent attempt to attract listeners by framing a provocative question is playing
a dangerous game. You have inexplicably blundered into giving the impression to American listeners -- who are suffering a constant barrage of Trump-related news and do not have time for a nuanced consideration of Canadian sovereignty -- that here in Canada, annexation is a both-sides discussion that we are actually seriously entertaining. Let’s be clear: The Trump regime is issuing aggressive threats to annex our sovereign nation. The prospect represents a grave threat, one that must be met by a serious, internal, and wholly Canadian conversation. Instead, what has CBC done? Lend a platform to traitors like Kevin O’Leary! What on Earth are you people thinking? You have seriously misread the mood of Canadians. You have seriously misunderstood your role in defending Canadian values and sovereignty. And you have handed people in the
United States, both friendly and not, the mistaken impression that Canadians are having a discussion about annexation options.We aren’t. We are standing on guard! With no help from CBC tonight.

New: Meta employees are furious about a new policy that allows users to call LGBTQ+ people "mentally ill." Some have resigned in protest. Some LGBTQ+ employees have started saying they if they are 'mentally ill' they should get leave of absences from work
