Posting this so I can pin it. I'm finding it helpful to share to help people understand the story of Palestine and why Israel wants that tiny strip of land they live on. Please watch, listen and share π

Have a cross-border conversation about the economic war the U.S. president is waging. Have a conversation about his imperialist, Manifest Destiny fueled dreams. But, please - use language that states what this is about - one sovereign nation being actively taken over by another.
@ianhanomansing I know you understand the importance of language, nuance, framing, etc which is why I am so surprised at the topic for todays CCC
As a long time supporter of CBC, and regular listener to Cross Country Checkup, I am dismayed by this week's topic:

"51st State: A Cross-Border Conversation" with the question, "What do you think of Trump's comments about Canada becoming the 51st State?".

Speaking as a woman, an elder, a teacher, someone with religious and spiritual responsibility, I urge you to consider the gravity of this upcoming election: consider character, integrity, a just economy, reproductive freedom, care in relation to climate and immigration issues.
@David_Moscrop I dislike FPP, we desperately need electoral reform. But with population shifting to urban areas, how do we not leave rural under represented?
Interesting article that barely touches the surface of what it was like having to deal with her behaviour. I expect many more stories will emerge in the weeks ahead. Sonia Furstenau's outburst at John Rustad guts her clout in negotiations with NDP https://t.co/5mXAu0qhex
@AJWVictoriaBC Gosh politics is a dirty place to be! Let the mud slinging begin! Frankly, I was on the couch listening to Sonia, fist pumping the air "you go girl". This is what responsible common sense government needs to look like π
