Former Prince Andrew arrested, released under investigation amid Epstein scrutiny. Stories like this involve power, politics, and global ties — exactly why independent public journalism matters. Without outlets like CBC, would Canadians get the full picture? r.pebmac.ca/https://www....

In 1793, Chloe Cooley, an enslaved woman in Upper Canada, was beat, tied up and forcefully taken across the border to be sold in the United States. The incident led to the first legislation in the British Colonies to restrict the slave trade. This is the story. 🧵 1/9

Another grey day in the UK, but there's the promise of sunshine coming soon... Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #posted - a bird on a post. And what brighter ray of sunshine could there be than a Rose-coloured Starling basking on a Shetland fencepost? #birds #EastCoastKin #Stunday #photography

If the only issue imposed by the US currently on Canada was this ambassador clown, that would almost be enough to not buy US stuff or travel across the border.

Always a good selection provided by #GailDever. Part of my early Sat. #Genealogy review. Follow it.

In 1812, Thomas Jefferson propounded that taking Canada is “a mere matter of marching.” In 2026, talk of the US invading Canada seems far-fetched—but not impossible. Writer and professor Peter Jones has to wonder: How would we actually defend ourselves? https://ow.ly/ip6L50Y9KFa

February is African Heritage Month, a good time to start planning to connect with the rich history of African Nova Scotian culture with visits to museums and cultural centres, including the Black Loyalist Heritage Centre. #AHM2026

Richard Pierpoint was kidnapped and enslaved for over two decades. He eventually escaped to the north and fought against the Americans in the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Today, he is honoured in Canada. This is his story. 📸Malcolm Jones 🧵1/10

📢 Announcing.... my first new blog post since November 2024... 😬 The moral of the story is that, when it comes to identifying mystery faces in old family photos, you should never give up. The answer might turn up in the most unexpected places... lifelinesresearch.co.uk/2026/01/24/w...

What really scares me about all this is the attitude of people who say they aren't getting involved because they aren't into politics. How fucking blind can people be! This is way past politics. It's global crisis and the edge of dystopia.

Well that would be Trump, acceptance of a million lies, lack of pride in majority of Canadian citizens who are educated, civil, ethical. So let those with these beliefs ( not majority of Albertans) go to Alabama.

@savethecbc.bsky.social so annoyed with panel on P&p tonight. Shachi and Peter Mackay trying to put down what MOST Canadians support but making cases forConservatives-Don’t care about Canada and its people. Had to put this somewhere!

I really don't need writing prompts. #Genealogy research gives plenty of writing ideas. I need to force myself to actually write. That's the problem. Ideas are never a problem.

Trump demands Carney give him his standing ovation from Davos

Absolutely local groups useful although there can be wrong info so as with any genealogical information, need evidence!

We knew Carney had the right attitude and intelligence for these troubling times. That is why we elected him- and that he was NOT a professional politician🇨🇦

Mark Carney was blunt and forthright in this excellent speech in Davos today. Made thus 🇨🇦 proud and more than a little reassured. www.youtube.com/live/NTES1BI...
