How many of you knew that the famous unsafe water advisory in Grassy Narrows was lifted in Sept 2020 with safe water for all residents? (Indigenous residents determine when to lift the advisory, not the Fed Gov.)
watercanada.net/grassy-narrows…
One reason many don't know is because Canadian Media don't cover success stories re safe water restorations. Take this example where NP focused on unsafe water in Sept 2021 using a 2019 photo, not mentioning they now have safe water: #CdnMediaFails
thewhig.com/opinion/canada…
Yet every major and many 'minor' news outlets covered the story that the Gov would not meet their own deadline to end all safe water advisories in March 2020. The failure was BIG NEWS.
Successes are not.
That is a theme that runs throughout most of today's media #CdnMediaFails

Progress on Indigenous Safe Water Advisories being lifted:

When Min Marc Miller announced in Dec 2020 the Gov could not meet their Mar 2021 lifting of all water advisories, every paper in the country covered it.
Only tiny local papers ever cover when another advisory gets lifted. 117 so far.

Today I thought to share some Tips that have helped me survive Twitter as a Liberal supporter - in the hopes they'll help you too. A thread:

Would the charming Erin O'Toole fulfill Harper's dream, given the chance? By altering or even removing our precious Charter of Rights and Freedoms from the Constitution? Please read on.
The House of Commons, the Senate, and two thirds of the provinces representing over 50 percent of Canadians must approve any changes to the Charter or any part of the constitution. By the time Harper won a majority, most provinces had Lib Govs so no chance for him to alter it.
Now though, most provinces are Conservative, and with a majority Gov, O'Toole would have Harper's dream within reach. How the Senate would vote is a question. But is the risk of losing our Charter rights by voting Conservative worth it? Ever?
