Vikings are whiteys and whitey isn't indigenous to anywhere by definition, even to Europe.

White people are colonisers, especially in Europe. They eradicated the people of colour there - the Neanderthals.

BC experiencing public opinion blowback because assurances that UN Indigenous Rights declarations would not override BC law and property rights are actively in doubt, 

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/first-reading-the-mother-of-all-unintended-consequences-is-hitting-bc-right-now/ar-AA1S9MFW?ocid=msedgntp&pc=LSJS&cvid=693adfcfb2cc42fd86b757afe3b2ee56&ei=19

What changed was a Dec. 5 B.C. Appeals Court ruling that not only struck down a B.C. law (the Mineral Tenure Act) on the grounds that it violated UNDRIP, but effectively ruled that any law or government action could similarly be overturned if it wasn’t in line with the 32-page UN declaration.

They just control the money allocation and appoints the senior leadership. 

The same way the government doesn't control CTV or Global. They just maintain a public media fund overseen by government appointed members who the TV broadcasters need to survive.

Yes, but not the editorial content.  If it did, we'd see the CBC favouring the Tories when a Conservative government was in power.  Instead, the senior management remains Liberal and the talent NDP.

If that were the case, then PBS in the States would flipflop between righty and lefty positions. They do not. 

Entrenched bureaucracies are overwhelmingly and persistently left wing.

Except when it's time to pledge for money--suddenly it's all, travel, classic movies, classic folk/rock/doo wop music and military history

The Provincial NDP just realized that everyone is waking up from the party and smelling the reality coffee and they just hit their support base in the gonads. The only good news for the NDP is the conservatives have had their biannual collapse and leadership rebellion and are ineffective. With a functioning opposition, this would likely bring down the government.

This is very, very bad

The media going after Conservatives everywhere will just result in the Trump phenomenon of a politician becoming immune to any level of venom directed at them by the media.  Sounding opinion here in Ontario, there's growing anger and distrust at the preferential treatment of Indigenous claims and issues, one group getting the gravy train while everyone else gets the shaft.

Canada's practice of taking donor organs from people who have been euthanized is a "strange new horror," said an official from the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

Deputy Health and Human Services Secretary Jim O’Neill, who is also the acting head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told the Washington Examiner that Canada's use of its Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) procedures to secure donor organs was far worse than anything he had seen in the United States.

“We thought we’d seen all the possible horrors, you know, in America, and then Canada had this strange new horror that was really just shocking,” O'Neill told the publication.

Since MAiD was legalized in Canada, there had been a "substantial increase" in deceased organ donation in the province of Quebec, said a 2024 paper published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

 

Seems like a cardinal rule to never be worth more to your government dead than alive.

In a shocking act, the Thames Valley District School Board has purged numerous classic works of literature, history and political thought from a school library’s shelves. The board euphemistically calls the process “deselection.” Among the casualties of this radical book ban are timeless novels like 1984 and non-fiction works on Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald.

A London, Ontario, secondary school binned more than 10,000 library books between January and March this year under the Thames Valley District School Board’s “inclusive libraries revitalization project,” eliminating more than half of the school’s 18,000-book collection.

 

Bradbury thought he was warning us against conservatives, but as with most things, he was looking in the mirror. 

Quote

Among the purged books were works that challenge power, authority and ideology, including George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. Literary classics such as Hamlet, Macbeth and To Kill a Mockingbird were also removed, along with Wuthering Heights and multiple Harry Potter novels.

Nothing creepy about this at all;
