Be kind or be quiet

Managing expectations - good work.

@CanTrueCrime @TorontoStar @reggcohn In the 2008 federal election, Conservative and Liberal leaders both included carbon pricing in their platforms. The Conservative government of Stephen Harper won a minority mandate with a campaign that pledged to “develop and implement a North America-wide cap-and-trade system

@TorontoStar @reggcohn No, actually that was Trudeau.

Unhappy about Ontario's carbon levy? Thank Doug Ford for making it happen. Ford likes to blame Bonnie Crombie but he is the one who introduced Ottawa's carbon pricing plan to Ontario. #Opinion by @reggcohn trib.al/p3zf2tK

@merry123459 I kind of trust Staples more than I trust the Ontario government.

Staples is an American owned company. I don’t want my private and personal information in the hands of anything U.S. In no way shape or form. I don’t care who’s computer system they’ll be using. None of this sits well with me. There’s a reason Ford chose an American company.

@BrianKarem @kurtbardella 'Both Sides' Journalism is Yellow Journalism. Gutless Journalism. Real Journalism is TRUTH. FACT.

What a good thread! Media and others just repeating misdirection and misinformation rather than calling them out as false. It really is shameful.

It's not that the polls are "wrong". It's that telling us that Canadians have been misinformed and misled as never before in history, without examining the misinformation, or who's misleading and why, or setting the record straight is just simply more misleading propaganda.

...So when I see these things happening here in Canada in exactly the same way, I will speak up, because there aren't enough voices doing so in our media — because I personally, have to try and counteract the deliberately false notions aired by our media...

...misinformation. Every single panel that examines standing in the polls without examining the misinformation that creates belief in false accusations is a bit of propaganda encouraging those false accusations. Every time Smith or Ford or Moe or Higgs or Poilievre makes...

Actual media criticism comes from the Beaverton, rather than the outlets who are supposed to be devoted to it, which says volumes about the state of media in this country.

@doctorow @NickHanauer @joanwalsh @donaldrcohen12 We have the history of over 100 failed civilizations where those with wealth and power refused to give any of it up. You would think in an age of unlimited access to historical knowledge that the rich could understand it won’t end well for them or anyone else?

As a competition lawyer I find it particularly galling that politicians blame a revenue neutral carbon price for high costs rather than actually addressing the fact that we have monopolies or near monopolies in so many key sectors from grocery to banking to telecoms to airlines.

@jordanschneider @leankitjon 24/7 news coverage has made getting the story first more important than getting the story right.

the biggest disinformation story of the year wasn't some deepfake but just journalists believing people they shouldn't

@merry123459 @CPAC_TV

Xitter is force feeding RW propaganda accounts into all of our feeds. We naturally get angry & outraged at their lies. So we call them on it. Ratio-ing such accounts used to matter, somewhat. Now, all it means is engagement. It literally helps monetize lies. #CdnDisinfo #cdnpoli

@mhdksafa Angry

With a long weekend coming up, there’s sure to be some political conversations over the dinner table… So what better time to debunk some pension myths based off of @DrJaredWesley’s new article in the @TheTyee! First up, “we pay more than we get back”! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

It would be of enormous value if Canada had a wide awake non-partisan national media for what's coming #cdnpoli
