@globeandmail I like your Globe column! But as a non-drinker I can’t agree that Michelob non-alc beers deserves a mention - it is actually one of the bottom-feeders in an array of great beers.

Why are baby animals so cute? Can octopi be pets? What are parrots really thinking? Jay Ingram’s The Science of Pets is a funny, fascinating dive into the science of the animals we love. You’ll never look at your pets the same way again! @jayingram bit.ly/3F5RzAw

@curthilly @LukaszukAB I heard you have a tiny prick and don’t have the guts to even try

Any journalist who tells you that food bank usage is up, without telling you that a huge portion of that is foreign migrants, including from "low-trust" societies that treat food banks as simply "free food" -- is lying to you.

@jayingram @JDVance Oh, listen to the he/him give his unsolicited advice. 🤣
English

While I'm sure the causes are complicated, no nation has leaned more into "diversity is our strength, we don't need a melting pot we have a salad bowl" immigration insanity than Canada.
It has the highest foreign-born share of the population in the entire G7 and its living standards have stagnated.

What happened in Canada will be studied by many historians and economists as the prime example of self-destruction of an otherwise prosperous nation after blindly following left ideology.

@Stockwell_Day I love when
people like you say “overwhelming science based evidence.” Receipts please.
English

Sorry, the studies you rely on are wrong. The overwhelming science based evidence shows suicidal ideation rates higher among children who undergo surgical or chemical alterations than those who are lovingly encouraged to wait at least until adulthood.
Love them with the truth.

On TRANS DAY OF REMEMBRANCE today Danielle Smith removes health care from gender diverse children - the group most at risk of suicide. SHAME!!

@JDVance Yes, those of us in Alberta who did not vote for the fools in Ottawa are well aware but, due to our electoral system, are powerless to do anything about it. We are trapped in an abusive relationship that will take some drastic measure to sever.

@WarbeckMichael @StevenBonkMP absolutely right and "cloned cows" and "lab-grown meat" are NOT the same thing.
English

@StevenBonkMP The cloned cows bring discussed are simply creating ideal breeding stock. Ie take a perfect angus and create clones and now you breed those traditionally and the calves are raised no differently

@jkenney @AngeMAmato and The National Post is the credible alternative?
English

This👇”story” is an object lesson for why trust in legacy media has plummeted, and alt right media audiences have grown.
Here CTV “digital news producer” @AngeMAmato (she/her) writes a story about “experts” calling the use of Sec. 33 “a threat to democracy.”
Who are the experts?
A left wing academic, and a left wing activist. The latter, Howard Sapers, is a former Liberal MLA (which the article does not mention) for a party that is so marginal, it has not elected an MLA in over a decade.
For good measure CTV goes on to quote two left wing union bosses, who of course are predictably outraged.
A more accurate headline would be “Four people on the left angry about use of Notwithstanding Clause.” Which is the opposite of news. It’s the ultimate “Dog Bites Man” non-story.
Did the CTV producer make any effort to post a balanced story by asking for comment from academics / lawyers / think tanks who support use of Sec. 33? Did she call the @CDNConstFound or the @MLInstitute’s Judicial Power Project? Did she attempt to reach any of these four scholars, who just published their views in a @nationalpost op-ed last week? macdonaldlaurier.ca/its-the-judges…
Did she have an editor who asked why her story lacked any attempt at balance?
And did anyone at CTV pause for a moment to ponder how tendentious it is to accuse a democratically elected legislature of acting “undemocratically” by invoking a power whose entire purpose is to ensure democratic accountability?
She provides some historical context about prior use of Sec. 33. Why does that context not include the fact that most democratically elected provincial governments (including Alberta under Premier Lougheed, and Saskatchewan under NDP Premier Blakeney) agreed to adopt the Charter *only if* it included the Notwithstanding Clause to allow democratically elected Legislatures to ensure a democratic check and balance against the abuse of undemocratic, unaccountable judicial power?
Why does she not mention that for the first 33 years of the Charter era, the Canadian Courts ruled that there was no constitutionally protected right to strike?
Why doesn’t she quote an expert pointing out that Allan Blakeney defended the Saskatchewan Legislature’s 1982 use of Sec. 33 to end a strike as “a legitimate use of the Notwithstanding Clause?” Or refer to Peter Lougheed’s 1987 commitment to use Sec. 33 if the courts invented a right to strike?
Many thoughtful criticisms can be levelled against Section 33. Being undemocratic is not one of them.
So why do we see so much agitprop like this masquerading as news from so many legacy media outlets?
IMO, there are two possible answers:
1) They are blind to their own biases; and / or
2) People like @AngeMAmato believe that they have a moral imperative to be “progressive journalists” which trumps the boringly old fashioned professional imperative to be objective and balanced.
Whatever the reason, “journalists” like this have no one to blame but themselves for growing distrust of legacy media, and the consequent emergence of non traditional media platforms.
