Zain Velji on the Conservative Party's handling of Matt Jeneroux's resignation: "Andrew Scheer ultimately saying that the Liberals have the political skill to stare into your soul and pick you off the Conservative caucus lineup is like one of the weirdest messages I've ever heard."

When Hollywood Does Canada: The Great Escape
A great movie from the 1960s, but one that eliminated the 150 Canadians who played a critical role in the escape. Instead, Americans were made the central characters and heroes.

Bird flu is being painted as a problem wild birds are inflicting on the poultry industry, but it's precisely the reverse.
Where do they think it developed in the first place, if not in the disease incubators that are mass battery farms?

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.
This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.
