Tomorrow, we fight for a piece of Canada.

The CBC isn’t just a broadcaster. It’s part of our lives, our identity—our connection to one another.
It’s where we hear our own stories, told in our own voices. It’s where Canada sounds like Canada.

The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

There's no point posting, and tbh it seems no point reading. It's all been said.
