Peter MacLeod suggests the best thing we can do to protect CBC & independent media from a govt party that would threaten its defunding is to do what Norway does & not keep it reliant upon annual appropriations from Parliament, but rather to create independent media trusts that could be topped up.
While living in the us for 11 years the ignorance blew my mind everyday. The local news broadcaster (New Hampshire) said we will be back with international news. Came back with news about Hawaii - nothing else just Hawaii. They did not know it is part of the us. I lived for CBC news
Rachel Maddow just played this video of Jon Ossoff talking about Trump crime family grifter Jared Kushner. Ossoff is Maddow's guest tonight. 🙌💪👏✊️👇
President Stubb:
“I would prefer in the long run to see Ukraine in NATO. You know, I know for political reasons some people have problems with that. But let's think about it really serious. The Russian threat is not going away. So what then gives us comfort? In my mind, it's Ukraine.”

Amnesty International is warning Canada is “rolling back” Indigenous rights.
Fast-tracked projects. Resource expansion.
All for short-term capitalist gains.
That’s not progress if it comes at the expense of First Nations, land, and treaties.
CBC is bringing this forward

Carney says Canada’s close ties to the U.S. are now a “weakness”.
With tariffs rising under Trump, industries like auto, steel, and lumber are feeling it.
The plan? Diversify trade. Build new partnerships.

Gravy plane update ✈️
After spending $28.9M on a private jet, Ford now wants to sell it “as quickly as possible.”
What changed? Not the plan. The exposure.
He didn’t see the light… he felt the heat.
CBC brought it into the open 👇

Thinking of Stuart McLean today, born April 19, 1948 💜
For so many of us, The Vinyl Cafe was just… there. Warm, funny, human.

16 years of waiting… and then Jeremy Hansen is orbiting the moon 🚀
Not just the science. The human moments
This is what CBC does best. Real Canadian stories, told with depth.

Without CBC… do we still get stories like this the same way?
Some Canadian icons just stick with ya.
Happy birthday to Rick Moranis 🍁
From Second City Television to Bob & Doug McKenzie, he helped define a whole era of Canadian humour.
CBC helped give that kind of comedy a place to grow… and a country to laugh together.
Got a favourite Rick Moranis moment?
Avi Lewis is calling his NDP leadership an “experiment” in structural change.
Public grocery stores. Banning surveillance pricing. Rebuilding with just 6 seats.
CBC breaks it down. ⬇️
Can ideas like this actually take hold in Canada right now?

Carney is inviting 100 of the world’s biggest investors to pitch Canada as a place to park trillions 💰
CBC points out the catch: we’ve heard this before—and Canada has struggled to turn interest into real projects.
What actually needs to change?

Some things you don’t need explained. You just feel them.
The The Friendly Giant.
Paul Henderson in the Summit Series.
Terry Fox.
Gord Downie.
CBC was there. Not just covering it, but connecting us through it.
Do you remember? 🍁

Doug Ford just spent $28.9M of public money on a gravy plane.
Meanwhile: groceries up, gas up, hospitals overcrowded.
“Flexible travel,” they say.

Reasonable… or completely out of touch? And if this is the model—do you want it going national?
Canada is coming off 3 severe wildfire years… and experts say 2026 could be another.
Drought, heat, El Niño… and a growing sense this may be the new normal.
This is why CBC’s science reporting matters. It connects the dots before crisis.

Another $5M mistake… and not a subtle one.
CBC’s Fifth Estate found the CRA paid out a bogus refund based on claims like a 100% tax rate and “United Nations” income… even after it was flagged for review.
Without CBC, how many of these slip through unnoticed?

Question Period turned into a classroom roast 🍿
Pierre Poilievre says Mark Carney is “badly educated in economics.”
Carney fires back: “This government can count.”
Poilievre: “Does he read his own budget?”
Carney: “He wouldn’t pass the exam.”

CBC is out here decoding chickens with AI 🐔🤯
Seriously. The Nature of Things is turning clucks into data to understand stress, emotions, even welfare.
Curious, smart, a little weird… and actually useful.
Without CBC, who tells stories like this?

CBC is connecting a quiet chain reaction:
Fuel prices ↑ → suppliers add surcharges → grocers get squeezed → you pay more 🛒💸
Companies like Maple Leaf Foods are adding per-kg + delivery fees. Big chains push back. Small grocers can’t.
Prices don’t jump… they creep.

On this day in 2015, we lost Jonathan Crombie.
For so many of us, he was Gilbert Blythe in Anne of Green Gables.
A story CBC helped carry into our homes… and into our memories.
Do you remember? 💜
CBC is surfacing a quiet but huge question:
Could Canada one day align with the EU?
Alexander Stubb says he can “envisage a much larger EU”… and Canada fits its values.
Meanwhile, Mark Carney is strengthening ties beyond the U.S.
This is why CBC matters—connecting the dots before they trend.
Where would Canada be without its artists?
Today, CBC Arts is celebrating National Canadian Film Day by spotlighting LGBTQ filmmakers and the stories that shape who we are.
When art is left to profit alone, some voices disappear. CBC makes space for them 💜

CBC just caught Loblaw Companies Limited and Sobeys overcharging for underweight meat… again.
Same issue. A year later. Fixed only after CBC showed up.
So ask yourself:
Without CBC Investigates… who’s catching this?

Liberals have a majority.
And now Pierre Poilievre says they must “get things done… without blaming others.”
From a party that just lost ground and says there are “no lessons.”
That’s not accountability. That’s denial.
So if opposition won’t do its job… who does? 👀
r.pebmac.ca/https://www
Carney says it’s “time to get serious.” Less showboating, more substance.
But a majority also means less scrutiny.
Meanwhile, Conservatives lose ground… and say there are “no lessons.” That’s not opposition. That’s dysfunction.
So who actually holds power accountable besides the CBC right now?
Carney’s first move post-majority: a temporary fuel tax cut.
⛽ 10¢ off gas
🚛 4¢ off diesel
💰 ~$2.4B cost
Relief… or just a short-term fix?
Is this enough?
And is CBC asking the right questions about what comes next?
r.pebmac.ca/https://www
Carney just secured a majority. One seat. 172.
And it didn’t just come from voters… 5 MPs crossed the floor.
So… how do you like them apples? 🍎
Mandate or default?
And with more power, who holds them accountable?
