Effective immediately, we’re no longer posting on X.

The CBC has done an excellent job covering the dramatic, shockingly quick events in Syria...they have two reporters in place in the area, with legendary foreign correspondent Margaret Evans on the Syrian border...no other radio/TV media in Canada can come close to this @CBCNews

While The Hub’s journalism has always been pro-free markets and decidedly conservative, it has at least been discernable so far as journalism . . . The proliferation of sponsored content on its pages is a worrying development #cdnmedia
