@tomcanada19 @UselessWins @Prominent_Bryan Me not agreeing with them is not relevant to an analysis of the CBC as the media arm of the liberal party.

@PAHoyeck Placing Hume above Hobbes is a crime against humanity.

@FortySacks It's darker than that. Certain kids just aren't allowed to do French immersion in some provinces. So it's a two tier school system benefiting left wing "elites"

[Liam 5 @Legally_LVS]

@gator_gum We love a good false bifurcation fallacy. Also begging the question. The question that matters is whether mark Carney "succeeding" means Canada will thrive. The conservative position is that no, it won't because he's largely doing the wrong things. Mid rhetorical slight of hand.

@Prominent_Bryan @Anthony__Koch You're actually committing cultural appropriation which is colonialism. Shame on you (sarcasm)

[Liam 5 @Legally_LVS]

@pymandersghost @AtlanteanGnosis Can confirm on the Hellenism front.

@godsbodkin @trottskyathome If you think Shakespeare is amazing I highly recommend reading the plays he crimped. I personally think the Roman versions are better.

@lukeburgis "If these writings agree with the [insert choice of Holy Scripture], we have no need of them; if they disagree, they are destructive."

@PhilipDBunn America has Hamilton actually. The role those authors serve is political more Ethan literary - they were a focus for nation creation. America remembers and knows when it was founded. So it didn't need one. Alternatively, you have to nominate a pre 1776 American ...

Bruce Arthur, JJ and now Rachel Gilmore?

The man has exquisite taste in Canadian political Twitter enemies

@davieball @genomecomputer Not everything needs an api

[Liam 5 @Legally_LVS]

@Legrandpichet I stan. Honestly, goes harder than the union jack pseudo Australia flag

[Liam 5 @Legally_LVS]

@Prominent_Bryan I mean, I'm pretty sure it's easier to get nominated if the party leader doesn't say "no way I want her" lol

[Liam 5 @Legally_LVS]

@SketchesbyBoze If the answer is less than 100% you shouldn't be allowed on the internet

[Liam 5 @Legally_LVS]

@PunishedRWR I mean I'd argue that's exactly like Trump.

📰 What is a D-Notice?

The UK government doesn’t want you to know something important?

They send a quiet letter to every major newspaper, TV station and website saying:

“Please censor this story for ‘national security’”

It’s called a D-Notice (now DSMA-Notice).

Here’s the dirty truth:

It’s “voluntary”… but almost everyone obeys

No court, no vote, no public debate

Just a cosy club between spies and editors deciding what YOU are allowed to read

Real stories about war crimes, spying on citizens, or government lies get killed in secret

It’s not a law. It’s self-censorship by gentlemen’s agreement, the most British form of censorship ever invented.

They call it “protecting the country.” In fact, they are protecting the powerful from the public.

This system has been running since 1912. Still going strong in 2026.

The “free press” isn’t as free as they tell you.

@TristinHopper Basically any neocon.
