Every Christmas Eve, children in Netherlands visit a cemetery that holds the graves of Canadian soldiers who gave their lives to liberate the country in WW2. They light candles at every grave — all 1,393 of them. 🇳🇱🇨🇦

@robyndoolittle @picardonhealth Recently, I read two lengthy (well reported and in-depth) stories / articles in the @globeandmail and thought to myself, “Where, outside of the @nytimes, do you get such fine writing / great reporting.” Made me feel better about my, now, $33.16 monthly #Globe subscription.

I had a fascinating series of discussion this weekend with a group of activists who have spent so much time in their echo chambers they have failed to keep up with what has been happening in the real world. They are intellectually unprepared for simple interactions #bcpoli

Same dynamic at play with Twitter. Most on here don't realize how caught up they are in the outrage, polarization, vitriol, etc defending their side or attacking, mocking others

The most damning thing Haugen said tonight, which might break through to the non-techy majority, is that FB changed its algorithm to serve up to its billions of users more angry, hateful content -- bc that pushed engagement, and profits, up. nytimes.com/2021/10/03/tec…

More right wing media bias? 👇 Less time on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and mindless TV news More time reading a full newspaper over days and weeks = less outrage, click bait and deeper understanding of issues, world

Sooo tired of Canadians poisoned by American politics and Twitter that they are sounding like the poorly informed MAGA idiots when they blame CDN media rather than objectively consider issues setting aside partisanship

Users who received more “likes” and “retweets” when they expressed outrage in a tweet were more likely to express outrage in later posts. news.yale.edu/2021/08/13/lik…

He’s a Liberal. No, YOU’RE a Liberal. Oh look there’s another Liberal. This is the culture of those intent on remaining in opposition. Using a word that describes ~35% of 🇨🇦, your neighbours and my mom, as a slur. And yes, it was dumb when we did it too. Do better. #cpcldr

@DocMCohen They are suffering from tech poisoning, just not in the way they think. Social media plus no critical reasoning skills is its own pathological cocktail...

Langley, civic politics and BC diminished by your choice but your reasoning and priorities are spot on. Not never, just not now?

Just thinking aloud here about Bay du Nord… This is a really big deal. Seems to me the fed govt deserves a Kudos, even from Conservatives. You know, “Hey thanks. Well done!” But politics has gotten so hyper-partisan, we don’t give credit where due anymore. Need to fix this.

When Estonia -a NATO nation with a population the size of Calgary- contributes $200m more in lethal defensive weapons to Ukraine than Canada, we have a problem. We must do better. Powerful piece from @IvisonJ today. nationalpost.com/news/politics/…
