So I have just dipped my toe into the lake that is BlueSky. Going to tread water here for a bit and see if enough content to move from what was Twitter. I like unbiased news, science, and humour (notice the "u"?). Proud Canadian.

Nothing to see here folks, just a sitting president investing in two companies whose merger he claims sole authority to approve or reject. Totally normal! 🙃

I wouldn't waste my time on the Toronto Sun, or any version of "Sun" papers as they are rags. Owned by Americans and influenced by their corrupted ideals. Anyone who believes in the "True North Strong and Free" shouldn't be giving these propagandists any money or time.
Bryan Passifiume is the Ottawa Bureau chief for the “Toronto Sun”.
Bryan posted a tweet justifying the execution of leftists.
Bryan shouldn’t have a job anymore.
Tell the Toronto Sun how you feel about Bryan.
Bryan needs to lose credentials.

American owned media to avoid, fellow Canadians, who are trying to control the narrative in Canada; not new, but so many Canadians are still unaware. Don't be a Quisling (Nazi collaborator) selling your soul for a greeting card like some Premiers. Choose media who support Canada.🍁🧐💞
