RCMP commissioner 'deeply concerned' after CBC-backed prank show targets Mounties nationalpost.com/news/canada/rc…

@asinfulqt @BenWoodfinden It's not their property, no offer of housing is required. Go elsewhere
English
@BenWoodfinden This is absolutely not true lmao, housing waitlists are 5-10 years and shelters are at capacity - what actual housing was offered, IMMEDIATELY, to the residents of the encampment?
You're either making shit up or believing those who are - either way, NO EVIDENCE backs this.
English
This is a nice strawman.
The Region of Waterloo offered every encampment resident an individualized housing plan. It dropped fines. It created a transition policy. The court said none of it mattered.
What the judge actually did here, and what you're conspicuously not mentioning, is declare homelessness a constitutionally protected class under s.15 of the Charter, something courts have previously refused to do, including in this very case three years ago. You're happy about it because the judge happens to share your policy preferences.
That's all this is. An activist class that can't win these fights democratically cheering when judges do it for them.

Let me break it down for everyone 👇🏼 Everyone is upset that an Ontario judge said you can’t just keep displacing homeless people. Here’s an idea: stop complaining about homeless people and start demanding governments actually house people. Then maybe the courts wouldn’t have to step in to protect basic human rights. You can’t oppose encampments, oppose supportive housing, oppose shelters, oppose affordable housing, oppose mental health supports and then complain that homelessness still exists. You don’t solve homelessness by pushing people from one sidewalk to another. You solve it by giving people somewhere to go.

@theoandtheb @AndrewLawton The project was pitched to them, they liked what they heard, so they joined in on the project and then defended it once the schemes and tactics of the production became public. Again, what are you missing?
English
@Conrguy @AndrewLawton Is that what you see when you read: “…that CBC Entertainment *joined* APTN as a *partner* shortly thereafter.” Show me where it is stated in the article this was a CBC production.
English
CBC is using taxpayer money to defame Sir John A. Macdonald, deceive people for 'wrongthink', and shame women and men who've served Canada in the RCMP.
Canadians shouldn't be on the hook for this unpatriotic propaganda.
English
@theoandtheb @AndrewLawton It says right there that it's a CBC production. Are you trolling me? Lol
English
@Conrguy @AndrewLawton No one has established this was a CBC production or that anyone representing the CBC was directly involved in the production of these segments. Based on the official statement CBC, it seems quite clear they were likely not aware of this level of detail.

@theoandtheb @AndrewLawton What? Plenty of media outlets have a motto. Remember WaPo going with "Democracy Dies in the Darkness"? Come on man
English
@Conrguy @AndrewLawton Do you know any entities conducting journalism celebrating their legacy of “ideas” on their masthead? Seems far more appropriate for a blog to me.
English
@theoandtheb @AndrewLawton The CB admitted that it was their production and defended it. What are you missing here?
English
@Conrguy @AndrewLawton Given the lack of any evidence suggesting the CBC was involved in any editorial decisions related to this production, it seems highly plausible their input or approval for this specific segment had not yet to be sought. Have you seen any?
English
@theoandtheb @AndrewLawton Call what?
Are you referring to the Quillete media outlet?
English
@theoandtheb @AndrewLawton The CBC has admitted that this is a co-production with them and APTN. Are you saying they're not aware of the productions they greenlight? They've already defended it. You're fighting a losing battle here
English
@Conrguy @AndrewLawton Again, what is this post proof of? Have you seen the interview in question? How does any of this link the CBC to any editorial decisions related to the production of these interviews? What terms were established for either the interview or the resulting footage?
English
@Conrguy @AndrewLawton And what blog is this evidence of, exactly?
English
@Conrguy @AndrewLawton How would I know? What evidence is there for me to examine? Do we know the description of the interview did not match the interview taking place? There is a considerable difference between being lied to and not asking enough questions to know why you are being interviewed.
English
@theoandtheb @AndrewLawton So you think the producers were truthful and all of these people saying that they were lied to are making it up? Not to mention the emails that have gone public and video from Widdowson.
English
@Conrguy @AndrewLawton I am explicitly inviting you to share whatever evidence has convinced you of this. I’m sure your only source is the same X posts Juno “News” relied on (but would not cite). This is how journalists handle accusations:
ctvnews.ca/entertainment/…
English
@theoandtheb @AndrewLawton Really? You're unaware of the lies and deception that took place over the course of this production? You don't think CBC approved this production?
English
@Conrguy @AndrewLawton Do we? Have you seen evidence of a lie issued directly by the CBC in relation to this production? Aside from acknowledging they are working with the producers, what evidence of editorial or direct financial involvement attributable to the CBC have you seen?
English
@djbip1986 @dpjanes @SquipFitch @BenWoodfinden Elected officials making decisions is far better than unelected judges doing so
English
@dpjanes @SquipFitch @BenWoodfinden That's not how our system works. In fact, that in and of itself is unconstitutional. You may not like how courts interpret laws or the constitution, but the alternative would be much worse.
English
An absurd ruling in a Waterloo case last week, where a judge declared homelessness a constitutionally protected class and blocked the region from clearing an encampment on land where a major transit hub is being built, exposes a deeper problem in Canadian democracy.
Our most consequential legislators are increasingly judges, using the Charter to invent new rights not based on any precedent to impose radical progressive policy preferences on the rest of us:

@23BobW @AndrewLawton Where are these so called racists? Where is the comedy?
English
@AndrewLawton A group of racists in Canada were the subject of a TV prank show. I thought the Conservatives were all about “bringing Comedy back”. Or was that just another smokescreen to be racist without consequence? #Snowflake
English
@theoandtheb @AndrewLawton We know that people were lied to and deceived throughout this debacle though. It's not debatable
English
@AndrewLawton Perhaps, once we have more than accusations to go by, you might have some reason to pursue this on behalf of your constituents. Until then, how is this anything more than self-serving grandstanding?
English
@Dougtwit23 @ijbailey Sure you're permitted to disrespect a song, no one argued otherwise

Kaepernick knelt quietly on the sideline disrupting not a soul - after speaking to a special forces soldier about the most respectful way to do so - and white conservatives couldn’t handle it.
Dan McLaughlin@baseballcrank
Note that, unlike Kaepernick, Dart didn't do this on the NFL's field, on its airtime, in its uniform, at a game; this was his own speech, his own dime, his own time.

@Bratt_world @jonkay @thecoreyhotline And? It's still ridiculous. They've been given millions to dig. We need evidence
English
@jonkay @thecoreyhotline Hi @jonkay it’s 2026 and there is this thing called Google.
I’ve linked the information for you, since you seem to not understand how to get the answers you’re seeking.
Hope this helps.
English
I agree excavations are necessary
But what the leader of the Kamloops First Nation actually told Canadians (after giving half a dozen other excuses for not digging) is that she might consider digging if she can get “consensus” to do so from *119* other First Nations communities
Brattani@Bratt_world
Why is the right so upset about this article ? It says it’s a sensitive subject and very private within the nation (Kamloops FN/Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation) The article says that excavations will begin in 2027 🤔

@BreidenFehoko Trump said the country needed fewer immigrants from "shit hole African countries" and more from nordic countries.
He basically banned all refugees except white south Africans
He posted a meme of the Obamas as monkeys.
Any black person voting for him needs to be lobotomised
English
So what happens when you find out these Black NFL players are republicans? What is the next excuse gonna be? “They need to get educated and informed?”
Clarence Hill Jr@clarencehilljr
Black NFL players need to stand up for their communities when it comes to politics. It’s not enough to go back and do camp, give away turkeys at Christmas and Thanksgiving and support single mothers. The problems are systemic and they can only be fixed at the ballot box. Too many stay silent for the team. The team is at home first
