From coast-to-coast, Canadians are voicing why they're proud of this country. 🍁 CHEK Media (who are part employee-owned) made their own version of the 'I Am Canadian' campaign and it's going viral! Chek it out: youtu.be/hoiUdjHrJOE?...

Facts, content & objective reporting are commodities that are expensive. If you're getting it free on a website that's owned by someone sitting in the Oval Office right now, you may be being misinformed. Go to a trusted news source, pay for news, that’s my advice. www.unifor.org/news/all-new...

1/2📢 Did You Know? 🌎 The @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social reaches every corner of Canada! With over 400 journalists across the country, the CBC covers stories no one else will—from small towns to big cities. Defunding the #CBC means losing vital stories and local journalism. We can’t let that happen.
