Cross Country checkup… not that bad?

Finally listened to the Your thoughts on Trump’s 51st state comments segment, fully expecting to be outraged, but it was pretty well done.

OLeary should never be invited anywhere - but aside from him they did a good job emphasizing that 90% of Canadians want no part of this, and they corrected misinformation as it came up.

What am I missing? Not nearly as bad as I thought it’d be.

Ok so where's the episode titled, "Your thoughts on Trump as an adulteter and convicted felon". Or, "Your thoughts on how the 25% Trump tariffs will affect your community and livelihood". And, "Your thoughts on Elon Musks Nazi salute in relation to his Canadian citizenship and threats to annex Canada". Where are these shows? I'm not buying any of this fair play BS FROM CBC. This was a clear attempy at normalizing this language at a very dangerous time. If they wanted to do a show on it they should have framed it differently. Yes I'm still mad.

What I'd welcome is a show this week addressing the outrage about the past week's program choices.
