Australia is more likely, while on paper, Canada has a larger economy and population, Australia is a regional power with a much brighter economic outlook and incredible influence in the Asia-Pacific, which could be expanded further.

To be clear, the CBC needn’t do this. It would be an extension of its mission. That said, it could only help Canadian soft power to be a prominent source of trustworthy news.

` Mostly because Canadians are such decent people -- <<< they don't need guns >>> to "feel safe". Think it is called "leading by example". `

While that's absolutely true, there's probably also a need for a "Voice of Canada" or "CBC World Service" or similar to broadcast accurate news into the United States, which isn't receiving much at the moment. Ideally CBC could deliver both — Canadian news domestically, then a world service.

Damn. Canada always seems to be doing the right thing and setting a good example for those of us in the US. Rethink this.

I’m not feeling the Liberals or Conservatives. At this point, either work in the best interest of working Canadians

Inclusion is wonderful. Outdoor movie night at the Burnaby’s library City Square and kids are taking turns to say good night in every language they know. #Burnaby 🇨🇦 🩷💙💜🤎🧡💛. We are stronger when we are together.

My biggest complaint about TAR Canada is that they spend 90% of the time in Canada. A big part of what makes TAR compelling is watching the contestants struggle with language barriers and culture shock 🤷‍♀️

This should be shown to every ungrateful Canadian who thinks they are so hard done by & that Canada is unfair to them (Are you listening, Danielle Smith & AB separatists?). I have lived a charmed life because my English parents immigrated to Canada after WWII. 1/2

I would love to live in or near Toronto. Sadly I’m a broke trans American woman without a passport. I have always loved Ontario ❤️ My favorite neighbor and fellow land of a lot of lakes! (Minnesota)

As a veteran who deployed twice with Canadian, British, Irish, and Mexican-American troops, I will never forgive them betraying you. Canadian snipers fought and died in Afghanistan for US. Every attack on Canada is an attack on us all. I will still die for my battle buddies. Vive Le Canada! 🇨🇦

Glad to join what’s now my local Trans March for the first time and see lots of friends new and old. As an American in Canada in 2025, I have never been more weirdly, ambivalently psyched to wear my red, white and blue “Trans AF” t-shirt.

It was around that time I first started getting into Canadian politics. Charlie still rocks and Jack is still an inspiration: "My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world."

Canadians are asking why you're not fighting harder.... Personally, I wish you would do something because I don't think you have much time left. I want you to win because you're better than this.
