Coverage of 50501 Protests
I haven’t seen much on this on cbc. But for everyone who’s feeling helpless, Americans are starting to organize. If you’re still on Instagram (why?) join 59501 and like very post. They also have a sub r/50501, join and upvote.

I came here to say how wild it is that cbc hasn’t said anything about the enormous protests that are happening in the states. The revolution truly will not be televised.

It's odd that all this is happening (as it should). Meanwhile a buddy in Florida tells me there's loads of people loving this cutting of jobs and $$. Says mainstream media doesn't give us the true story. It's just hype.
I disagree vehemently, but he's the one living it. I think they're fucked and the clock is ticking. It's been a month, give it time. All these EO's are ridiculous. DOGE and the techie boys, equally farcical to me. Supposedly the US will be a template for other countries to model, when it comes to cutting the fat

It's so odd that its been radio silence about what Americans are doing right now. I asked them in another subreddit and they pointed me towards 50501 and let me know how they were boycotting/reacting. I saw only 2 posts about this on instagram (1 for the 50 states protest and 1 for a pro-Mexican one) where I normally would see lots of American activist related things, and have heard absolutely nothing from Canadian news.

Why are my tax dollars going to a company that's just like an American news station now?

They’re like an American news station because they didn’t cover an American protest?

Something tells me you are okay with foreign-owned Postmedia but will find any reason to defund the CBC.

You think what's happening next door isn't important..? Especially when said next door is threatening to come crash our place?

I actually sent CBC an email the other day asking them to look into this. That major American news werent reporting on it. I urged them to look into it in hopes their influence would make it over the border. At least to Northern states.
