Unspeakable cruelty. So much of this failed response echoes #LTC in NB where people fear eviction with no rights protection for even telling their story.
“we’re doing these reports and we’re cherry picking things out of it that we’ll do, and we’re shelving the rest.”

We are not upset, we are appalled that the CBC is working in the service of Trump by normalizing his insane and dangerous rhetoric. Romanticizing the idea of invasion by the US is terribly irresponsible of you. I am normally a big fan, but today I am ashamed of my CBC. Selling us out for ratings.
