Some say vaccine mandates don't work.

But...Health workers who don't believe in science are leaving healthcare...And...Police officers who don't care about public safety are leaving policing.

Why we need to hear The Story Of January 6

Here in a nutshell is The Story Of January 6 -- an impressive summary by Huff Post White House correspondent S.V. Date describing what happened in the Trump Insurrection:

This is what Americans need to be told about, every day, every speech, from Biden, Harris, Garland, Pelosi, Schumer, Psaki, AOC, Warren, and everyone else who wants Americans to understand and remember what happened. 

Yes, I know there are hundreds of charges underway around the country, and yes, I know there's a commission finally working on it. And yes, I know there are a few books coming out, and news stories written often about this or that picayune event or mystifying investigation. 

But Americans aren't going to put it all together by themselves. They need to hear The Story in every speech that is given by Democrats. 

Particularly now, as Trump starts up his rallies again, and gets coverage from media across the country as though he was just a normal person who is going to run for president in 2024. 

Instead, this is the kind of shit Americans are now hearing:

Trump urges lawmakers to focus on the 'REAL insurrection' that 'took place on November 3' 🚨https://t.co/dRxT5Si6zM

— RSBN 🇺🇸 (@RSBNetwork) October 7, 2021

I believe Americans have heard more in the last 9 months about the Biden dogs than they heard about the Trump insurrection. 

Now, I agree that Major and Champ were Very Good Dogs, and its sad that Champ has died and that Major isn't as well trained as he should be. 

But what Americans really need to hear about is how close they came to losing their republic.

Now that Trudeau has apologized to Chief Rosanne Casimir in Kamloops about not attending their ceremony on Sept 30, I think the Canadian media will stop talking about Tofino-gate or whatever we are calling it. Embarrassment is what I call it

In this life, there are those who love to obsess endlessly about “optics”, ie appearances.
And then there are those who love to make progress on substance, ie reality.

Today's news: So maybe next year our TRC Day will actually be about Truth & Reconciliation?

Join your mostly white media in making #TruthandReconciliationDay all about a white man. Couldn't fail harder if we tried.

— #SHIFT (@TheGentYYC) October 1, 2021

Does anyone else find it rather odd that the Trudeau in Tofino story is now on its second day? Ridiculous. 

But the pearl-clutching sure did help Canadian media find an easy story hook for their TRC Day coverage  -- otherwise, hey, they might have had to talk to some Indigenous leaders and do some research and think about truth and reconciliation, and maybe, you know, even write news stories about all that uncomfortable stuff.  But then Trudeau flew to Tofino and the media butterflies fluttered - or should I say, flitted - right after him and this solved all their TRC Day news problems. 

Maybe by TRC Day 2022 we will actually focus on truth and reconciliation itself -- though I'm not holding my breath.  

Can the Globe & Mail, Global, CTV, Postmedia and the CBC at least donate all the revenue in sales they've generated from covering the Trudeau family Tofino trip to Indigenous community centers...

Not too many stories today about TRC Day and survivors..

All about Trudeau.🤔

I won't object to media outlets complaining American-style about PM Trudeau being away with his family on the Day for Truth and Reconciliation if they ever employed an Indigenous person in the newsroom before they were shamed into it. #cdnpoli

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau introduced September 30 as a National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. It's now a federal paid holiday. The Premiers of BC, AB, SK, ON, QC, NB & NL all chose not to recognize it as a paid holiday. But guess who the MSM has chosen to harass & demonize?
