I am sickened to learn @CBCNews@x-activitypub-bridge.deno.dev / @cbcnews@flipboard.com & Ian Hanomansing are hosting a #CBC News special entitled, "51st State: A Cross Border Conversation". Not only is this horrifying, anxiety inducing, giving fuel to a very dangerous narrative, but it's irresponsible journalism at a time where #Canada's sovereignty is being threatened. This is letting #Canadians down, CBC.
For my fellow Canadians who wish to express their concern, here's the contact for Cross Country Checkup: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/checkup/contact-cross-country-checkup-1.4362725
@EricaHargreave sounds like you haven't watched it. Maybe you would appreciate what it actually presents.
Sounds like you're prejudging the book by the cover.

@volkris @CBCNews@x-activitypub-bridge.deno.dev @cbcnews@flipboard.com By giving it credence of a conversation is normalizing it, which is not okay and incredibly dangerous. This is not a conversation that should be normalized as it is a threat to #Canada’s sovereignty.
Normalizing it? No. That strategy basically echoes the Streisand effect. It's not about normalizing, but about engaging to point out how abnormal the proposal is.
If you let the idea faster it doesn't go away, it grows in strength, as we see every single day today.
We are now experiencing SO many problems that arose out of proposals that people didn't engage with for fear of "normalizing" which just let them gain more followers instead so that they actually did become normal.
No, this whole concept of letting the conversation go out of fear of normalization is EXACTLY counterproductive. It gives those ideas room to become normal.
And again, this isn't theory, this is exactly what we see everyday today as bad ideas have become significant and adopted.

The proposal is illegal. Full stop. Many treaties disallow it being made. Making such proposals is legally a declarations of war.
There is nothing more that needs be said. Certainly not a radio show.
