1/ It’s more important than ever for political leaders - on left and the right - to resist the temptation to profit from political polarization. In practical terms this means not platforming wedge issues and instead, normalizing listening and consensus building.

The most consistent message I have seen from the #freedomconvoy22 is that “the media” isn’t covering it. I’d like invite all of you to do some “fact checking” on that and turn on your TV, or visit ANY media website to see the exhaustive coverage we’ve done 🙄

Slant, bias, & an insatiable appetite for views/clicks have algorithms & networks reinforcing narratives before stories are even written/produced. Your mind is already made up. 🤫 Recognize that bias. We’ll all see what we want to see today.

Hey folks, you don’t like an article? By all means criticize it. You are not entitled to contact journalists and threaten physical harm, surveillance, and non-judicial trials. Sexual and gendered slurs aren’t a critique. I am seeing this happen industry wide and it’s concerning

This thing has rapidly become the world’s exasperating good news/bad news story. If your head isn’t spinning, you’re not paying attention. A 🧵on my take on both the good news & the bad, with an emphasis on the things that have changed in the past few days... or minutes.(1/25)

What is going on with the UCP? Is this spiralling out of control or is this grabbing the wheel? I’ll ask the premier tomorrow morning just after nine AM live on 630 CHED and 770 CHQR.
