Most of the flags around here have already been swapped for “Fuck Trump”.

Finland is the best in the world at building icebreakers. Even the Russians, with the largest and most sophisticated icebreaker fleet in the world, get theirs built by Finland.

Sounds good to me. That said it would also be nice to have some backup capability to build these kind of ships in our own country, or at least ensure we have the ability to maintain and upgrade them. Maybe we could partner with Finland to add our nuclear technology to their icebreaker expertise and provide some actual value to the world.

Defend CBC to your family and friends and coworkers if you can. We’re probably not really the target audience for misinformation, but they might be,. Their votes count and they can spread that misinformation too

Celebrate and protect the CBC! They are biased, but all media is biased no matter how much it tries not to be, and the worst ones try to hide it. The CBC does not hide its bias but does not generally let it obscure the actual facts, and if you think it does don’t even bother trying to argue with me you can just fuck right off and go watch your “truthful fox news” which certainly won’t obscure any facts for you.

It is your job as an informed citizen and consumer of media to think critically about the inherent bias of every source and adjust your interpretation accordingly, not to ignore valid sources entirely.

I’m hesitant to pimp Ground News here even though I already sound like an advertisement for them, but I do have to point out they are also Canadian, so if you want a broader perspective maybe they can help with that. Full disclosure: I do personally have a Ground News subscription, and it has changed the way I approach news sources, but I honestly don’t think anyone needs it as long as you are willing to think critically about the media you consume. The bias is usually obvious right from the front page. You don’t have to be a genius to put the pieces of the puzzle together to figure out what narrative a given news source is trying to promote.
