But that’s not what Twitter’s label is actually suggesting. Public pleaIn early April, Poilievre made a public request to Musk to label the CBC “government-funded media,” saying Canadians should be protected against disinformation and manipulation by state media. According to Twitter’s media account label policies, there’s a distinction between the “government-funded” and “state-affiliated” labels. Not a warningThe “government-funded” label doesn’t appear to suggest any sort of warning or raise cause for concern about the outlet’s objectivity and independence. But misleading Canadians by conflating Twitter’s media account verification labels, as Poilievre has done, is not the way forward.

Nagwa El Mamoun arrived in Khartoum with her daughter and husband on March 2 to visit family after a week’s vacation in Dubai. “I don’t wanna die here.”The family entered Sudan on visas. El Mamoun and her husband grew up in Sudan, but gave up their Sudanese citizenship when they became Canadian citizens. But it’s now spreading into residential neighbourhoods as combatants seek shelter, Abbadi said. Global Affairs Canada did not comment on any plans to evacuate Canadians from Sudan in the coming days or weeks.
The CBC is leaving its Twitter accounts inactive as it evaluates the social media platform's decision to remove the "government-funded media" tag on its accounts. CBC spokesperson Leon Mar says the public broadcaster is "reviewing this latest development" and will leave its Twitter accounts "on pause" before taking any next steps. Twitter removed the "government-funded media" description on a number of public broadcasters' accounts, including the CBC, without any explanation on Thursday. It noted that Twitter’s own policy defines government-funded media as those that may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content. The BBC is also a member of the Global Task Force, as well as France Télévisions, Germany's ZDF and Sweden's SVT.
It may have ceded to the BBC, but Elon Musk’s Twitter is back under pressure from the world’s public service broadcasters. The Global Task Force for Public Media has called on the social media platform to correct the designation of four of its members on the site. This comes after Twitter this week upped its efforts in labeling public media bodies on its site. The Public Media Alliance has analyzed 50 public service media accounts and found what it calls an “inconsistent and incoherent patchwork of labels.” For example, PBS and NPR are labeled as “Government-funded,” though neither directly receive money from U.S. state, as are Italy’s Rai, Spain’s RTVE and Australian diversity-focused network SBS. RNZ was due to merge with TVNZ to form a new public media group, Aotearoa New Zealand Public Media, but this was scrapped in February less than a month before it was due to take place.
Stars coach Pete DeBoer admitted that getting used to the late starts in the series is an acquired taste. “The late starts I’m still getting used to,” DeBoer said, “walking out of the rink at 2 a.m. for a 9 a.m. start. We typically see one a series.”Instead, three of the first four games in the Stars-Wild series are scheduled for an 8:35 p.m. Saturday.

Carter v. Canada (2015) told Canadians that ending a patient’s life is lawful and warranted, in specific situations with proper safeguards. Given Canada’s single-payer approach to health care, MAiD seems to present an unavoidable conflict of interest for government. Dying with Dignity, the largest MAiD lobbyist group in Canada, promotes surveys that suggest 80 percent support for MAiD in Canada (Dying with Dignity Canada 2022). Will clinicians find a way to function as though, for the vast majority of care, MAiD does not exist? “In Canada, MAID has become a matter of ideology.” Globe and Mail, February 25.

Security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic will be a key focus in the upcoming Danish defence agreement, Denmark’s acting Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said on a visit to the Faroe Islands this week. “I want a close dialogue with the North Atlantic governments in particular in connection with the upcoming defence settlement. “Therefore, security in the Arctic and the North Atlantic is an important theme in the upcoming defence settlement. The Danish Ministry of Defence said the system will help the Norwegian Armed Forces’ surveillance of the North Atlantic. “The enormous extent of the Arctic and the North Atlantic makes close security cooperation with the Faroe Islands and Greenland necessary,” Poulsen said.
It involved the powers U.S. presidents have to declassify intelligence in situations that call for transparency — and whether such a process could unfold in Canada. Typically, officials can declassify information at the behest of a president, or, in rarer cases, presidents can directly release information themselves. The Treasury Board and the federal Justice Department are responsible for maintaining government security and deciding what information is released or redacted, Wark said. Complicating matters are a suite of outdated laws: the Access to Information Act, the Security of Information Act, and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act. “It’s going to raise other questions about why was this information released, why was other information not released,” Sayle said.

The contract extension, which covers about 3,000 American workers of GE, will also ensure labor protections after the spinoff of the company's aerospace and energy divisions, according to the International Union of Electric Workers - Communications Workers of America (IUE-CWA). GE is set to separate its aerospace and energy businesses in early 2024 to become GE Aerospace and GE Vernova, respectively. The contract extension will take effect on July 1 and continue through June 22, 2025. Separately, eight local unions that together cover about 400 employees also ratified contract extensions with the company, GE said on Tuesday.
Fox viewers. Fox viewers are unique in how little they channel surf. By not including an apology and/or retraction in its settlement, Dominion allowed Fox to escape a far more damaging penalty: telling the truth to viewers. The network is still facing a lawsuit from Smartmatic, another voting tech firm that is suing for $2.7 billion. And after the election, Fox was flat-earth central.
