Good to see you come out in favour of global vaccine equity. More people need to be talking about this, or even doing something about this.

20 years ago I was a huge CBC supporter and if any political party questioned funding or thought about scaling it back that would have been a red line for me. Now I think it should just be completely shut down and something else should start from scratch. There is such a huge need for local and international coverage that really only somebody like the CBC could do but now I think they are the last people that should be doing it. They are beyond dumpster fire. They are the smoldering ashes of a dumpster fire

Thank-you again for uncovering some measured and relevant facts and also for providing a deeper context for these current events. The Line's editorial team has different check boxes and a whole nudda level of dashboard indicator lights, as compared to conventional, large-scale news media. Your work is more important than ever, IMHO.

I welcomed my $500 bribe from the Liberals. I have donated it to the Conservative candidate in my riding, as being the most likely to upset our sitting Liberal MP. I have grossed the $500 up for the tax deduction.

Further to "the Greens are irrelevant," this may be true for the federal party for this, the 44th, federal election. However, the claim obscures the most important 'Green' factor: Green voters.

In 2019, almost 1.2 million Canadians voted Green. This was increase over almost 590,000 since 2015.

This vote shift contributed significantly to the Liberals being reduced to a minority in 2019.

While it can be cogently argued that the federal Green Party will likely be less relevant in this election. That doesn't entail that 'Green' voters will be irrelevant. How they vote will have a major influence on which party forms the next government, which will likely be a minority.
