  1. @thetyee “You probably shouldn’t blame Idlout for wanting to leave the NDP. It’s tempting to join a real party, sort of like Pinocchio wanting to be a real boy.”

    What an offensive joke of an opinion piece. “Dr. Steve” should take his useless opinions and shove them.

    This is not funny, it’s infuriating. #TheTyee is slipping into an abyss publishing this partisan shite.

  2. Good news! Turns out the threat the Nazis fear is being kicked out of the bar!

    "“The real threat that we face is social pressure and ostracization,"

    Also white supremacists think that journalism is "fake gay feminine terrorism" and it would be hilarious if it weren't deadly serious:

    “So it’s like, it’s a very fake, gay, feminine kind of terrorism. But it has the same intention, which is to discourage people or punish people for political associations [with white supremacists] and [neo-Nazi] ideological beliefs.”

    Bonus neo-Nazi explaining where to get involved:

    it’s the [Canadian Anti-Hate Network], the CBC, random Antifa... they will do much more damage to your life for being part of an [neo-Nazi] organization like this than the police will,” he explained.

    and

    "...it’s only social pressures or cultural pressures that really do a lot of damage to people who take part in this."

  3. Several years ago I signed up to support BC news source @thetyee. They gave me this cool pin.
    Then I lost it :(

    ps. We’re well into salmon spawning season here on Vancouver Island. The Campbell River, an historic river for very large Chinook/Spring salmon, will soon see thousands (millions?) of these fish returning to spawn after four years at sea. The BIG ones are the “tyee,” or “King” salmon.

  4. So, I'd like to increase my knowledge of progressive/left/anarchist #CanadianIndependentMedia

    Would any1 like to make some suggestions? Preferrably (to be polite) not zealous tankie stuff, merci.

    So far, I heard of #TheTyee, #Rabble.ca, #TheBreach. any others?

    Also what about #LGBTQIAplus Canadian media?

  5. @itsdeanblundell our #FourthEstate has morphed into #FourthEstateFilth. The only news sources we can rely on, for the most part now, are the Independents like #TheTyee. It’s very disheartening to see what cr*p we are being fed these days.

  6. @gemelliz @Snowshadow I’m with you. I believe that they have burnt their bridges. Concerned Canadians are finding other ways to get their news. And publications like #TheTyee are acquiring greater weight.

  7. @gemelliz @northernck #OPPOfficer: “Come on guys, I wouldn’t want my wife and kids driving by and hearing any profanity but those F*ck Trudeau signs, no problem. Kids and wife can’t read. I’m on board with you guys.” The #MostCorruptGovernmentInTheHistoryOfCanada and the #OPP are complicit. And #CdnMedia is too busy playing with its belly button lint to even comment. #MediaMalpractice is the ordre du jour in Canada. Excluding #TheTyee

  8. @Snowshadow @thetyee @gemelliz @GottaLaff #CanadianMediaFailsMiserably on all fronts. It has made a mockery of the esteem in which #FourthEstate was previously held. #MediaMalpractice is standard operating procedure now. #TheTyee is the exception. It exemplifies ethical and trustworthy journalism that advocates for citizens and positions political issues accurately and factually. #MuchRespect.

  10. #Wetsuweten Law Cannot ‘Coexist’ with BC Court Order, Judge Determines
    Chief Dsta’hyl has been found guilty of criminal contempt.

    by Amanda Follett Hosgood, #TheTyee

    21 Feb 2024

    "Wet’suwet’en hereditary leaders have opposed #pipeline construction through their traditional territory since before the #CoastalGasLink pipeline project was first proposed. In December 2018, the B.C. Supreme Court issued an interim injunction to the company, which prohibited anyone from blocking pipeline access roads or work sites. A year later, on Dec. 31, 2019, the court granted a permanent injunction for the duration of the project.

    [...]

    "Last month, Tammen determined there was sufficient evidence to convict three #Indigenous #LandDefenders — Sleydo’ Molly Wickham, Shaylynn Sampson and Corey Jocko. They were arrested the day after Dennis and later charged with criminal #contempt. Hearings have begun into an application by the defence to stay the charges based on police conduct during the arrests.

    "#ChiefDstahyl’s arrest took place in October 2021, after a series of interactions with Coastal GasLink workers and security contractors on the Shea Forest Service Road on Likhts’amisyu Clan territory.

    "During those interactions, Dsta’hyl and others blocked access to a work camp and 'seized and rendered inoperable' multiple pieces of machinery belonging to Coastal GasLink contractors by cutting electrical wires and removing batteries, according to evidence presented during the trial.

    "When Dsta’hyl was arrested, he had four batteries from heavy machinery in the back of his pickup truck, the judge said.

    "'There is little dispute concerning the basic facts,' Tammen said, noting that video evidence documenting the incidents was presented during the trial.

    "'Chief Dsta’hyl, acting as an enforcement officer for the Likhts’amisyu Clan, participated in the decommissioning of a piece of heavy equipment owned by a CGL subcontractor on Oct. 17, 2021. That action consisted of removing the battery from the equipment, an excavator, thus rendering it inoperable.'

    "Witnesses for the defence included other #Likhtsamisyu Chiefs, who described the Wet’suwet’en traditional clan system and its role in governing the traditional territory. Among the Chiefs’ duties is preservation and protection of the traditional territory, or #yintah, Tammen said.

    "Tammen also summarized the Wet’suwet’en law of trespass, something described in detail by defence witnesses, saying permission is required to access territory belonging to a house group 'beyond just passing through it.'

    [...]

    "Criminal contempt penalties can include fines or imprisonment. Sentencing has been set for 9 a.m. on March 6."

  11. Why So Quiet about Long COVID?

    A top US epidemiologist pierces the silence about the pandemic’s deeply destructive long tail

    Two million Canadians reported symptoms of long COVID as of June. That’s 7% of the adult population
