The CBC, in particular, has come under scrutiny because it is a government-funded body to the tune of more than $1 billion a year. Twelve days ago, a CBC internal memo was sent to staff right after the attack happened, reminding journalists not to use the word “terrorists” or “terrorism” without attribution, when writing their stories. The CBC says it is not alone in insisting its team not call the Hamas gunmen terrorists: the BBC doesn’t either. What we talked aboutRead the CBC blog by Brodie Fenlon, editor-in-chief of CBC News, explaining the reasoning why they won’t call Hamas terrorists. We’re a member of The CJN Podcast Network.

But instead, its leaders have chosen to fund terrorism, incite their population against peace with Israel and reject peace offers made by Israel. Before long, Khouri began making a false moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas, the genocidal terrorist group which intentionally targets innocent people for murder. Consequently, Israel seeking to degrade Hamas’ capabilities to kill is somehow comparable to Hamas’ indiscriminate murder of 1,400 innocent Israelis on October 7. Since Hamas’ mega terrorist attack in early October, multiple media outlets have fallen into the lazy trap of comparing Hamas’ murders with Israel’s attempts to defend itself. Please refer to the program’s October 15 broadcast interview with Raja Khouri and Jeffrey Wilkinson, a Palestinian-Canadian and a Jewish-Canadian, respectively, who accused Israel of oppressing Palestinians and who morally equated Israel & Hamas.

Just watched Blood Beach this weekend with a friend and Burt Young is in it. When he popped up we had the "is he still alive?" I really did think he was dead, but think that's because he always seemed old and run down. Movie isn't that great, but he's definitely enjoyable. One of those clear they just let him do his own thing type performances.

Discussions around science and technology can become controversial, such as public conversations around climate science or gene-editing tools. Polarizing informationThe consequences of allowing issues in science and technology to be so polarized that we don’t talk about them include economic impacts, Canada falling behind in applied and basic scientific research and responsible technology development. We need to have direct conversations about scientific research, progress, experts and expertise, and new technologies that may become critically important to society in the future. For instance, if we ask “do you trust scientists,” do you think about scientists generally or are you thinking of a specific scientist? Trust is critical to the advancement of science itself and science in the advancement of society.

VANCOUVER AUTHOR AND theatre artist Emelia Symington Fedy journeys back to her small hometown of Armstrong, B.C. Skid Dogs ends up being an unfiltered rumination on consent, and a time and place when girls were blamed for whatever happened to them if the got drunk. They need to learn the skill of building complicated relationships, relying on neighbours, and appreciate something as simple as “seasons”. How has theatre informed your memoir writing, and where do both sit in your practice—are they separate or intertwined? This is what I demand of men, and what I want girls to demand of boys, my own included.

Air Greenland announced this week that it will operate a weekly flight between Nuuk and Iqaluit starting in the summer of 2024. Sorensen said Air Greenland is open to maintaining the route past October if justified by demand. A regular air link was established in 2012 with expectations that increases in Arctic tourism and the resource sector would drive interest. Air Greenland said in a statement this week that the announced route stems from the 2022 agreement. “In it, the countries want to increase cooperation in the areas of culture, education, fisheries and green energy and, last but not least, to pave the way for better mobility,” Air Greenland said.

For all the talk about expensive Jet tickets, I can't believe how *affordable* the tickets are, looking at the resale market. The Rangers who play in Manhattan are obviously a different animal than Winnipeg, sure. Buffalo was hyped as hell coming into the season and are a huge sports town, they only had 66% attendance last night against a good lightning team. The Sharks barely had 60% capacity against Carolina last night, looked like a covid era game with empty house. I doubt the Jets specifically are doing anything different than ohter teams in terms of raising prices of tickets/concessions with inflation etc.

That's “opinion not fact” according to the CBCMilitary historians often use the term “asymmetric warfare” to describe the recent terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel. To appreciate the significance of the Hamas attack, consider the early accounts of what happened. Since Hamas has been identified as a terrorist entity by the Canadian government since 2002, this designation is not surprising. On October 7, just as the Hamas attack was getting well underway, George Achi sent out an email to all CBC journalists telling his subordinates how to discuss Gaza and Hamas. 2005 simply marked the end of the Israeli military presence there.

Li testified she was working from her downtown home during the COVID-19 pandemic, including when protesters came to Ottawa. Li, wearing a white silky v-neck T-shirt with matching wide-leg dress pants, said during the following weeks of protests there would be scheduled honking. Li described feeling intimidated by an encounter with a trucker who shook his fist and honked his horn, and described protesters establishing structures to become more entrenched as the Freedom Convoy continued, including a makeshift soup kitchen. By the third week, after the injunction had been granted against honking, she said protesters became hostile when she was taking pictures. Li also described convoy vehicles slowing down ambulances that had been responding to a call and roads that were completely blocked off, but she couldn't remember specifics.
