#New webpages that offer lite versions, with no images, are great. I prefer #CanadianNews whenever possible. I rank my 3 lite news page sources as
1. #CNN
2. #NPR
3. #CBC
CNN offers a nice long list of news to read, their page is ugly but works so nice with #FireFox reader view.
NPR has less news is great layout on its own and good in reader view.
CBC is my preferred news source, and it is the most flexible but, it does not work in reader view.

Canada goes to the polls on April 28. Investigative journalist @justinling has a new series, Chaos Campaign, following the issues and events leading up to the election. Here's his story about how the different parties want to address one of the country's most challenging problems — the housing shortage. His conclusions: The Greens and New Democrats: Nonsense hokum. The Conservatives: Good, but incomplete. The Liberals: Great, but can we trust them? "The only thing to do now is to absolutely grill your local candidates on how they will, personally — not as a party — advocate for strong solutions to the housing crisis," Ling writes.
"We got into this mess because of endemic buck-passing and the ability for a small group of anti-development yahoos to hijack the conversation. The only way out of this is to demand accountability and make it clear that we want more homes."

Dadaist Report on Recession of Gu~1f0/riy)j
If you speak like a mad milliner, you will be considered to be following the rules. Rules. Rules. Rules. There will be no impact on regulations! If things get worse, they will get even worse. We have heard a lot about this recession at the centre pond pool’s polite poodles’ playground, while gathering green goats eating groats. Groats! Groats! Groats!

No, They aren't Coming to America.
According to The #CanadiaPress, travel agency Flight Centre Travel Group Canada says leisure bookings to American cities dropped 40 per cent in February from the same month in 2024. One in five customers cancelled their trips to the U.S. over the past three months, the report said.

More #2SLGBTQ+ #Americans looking to move to #Canada since #Trump's re-election
A 2SLGBTQ+ aid organization says there was a massive spike in the number of Americans looking to leave the country immediately after U.S. President Donald Trump returned to the White House.
#SwathiSekhar, director of protection initiatives at #RainbowRailroad, said the group received nearly 1,200 inquiries from 2SLGBTQ+ Americans on Nov. 6, 2024, alone, after getting only about 700 U.S.-based inquiries up to that point in 2024.
"This is really the most requests for help that we've received in a single day from any country," said Sekhar. "So that really says a lot. About half of those individuals who requested help were trans individuals, a mix of both #trans men and trans women."
Rainbow Railroad says it has received just over 1,800 requests for help from the U.S. so far this year — an 1,100 per cent increase over the first two months of 2024.
Canadian immigration lawyers are also reporting a rising number of inquiries from American members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community looking to move to Canada.
#Immigration lawyer #AdrienneSmith: "The overall sentiment that I'm hearing right now is just the kind of terror and speed that they feel like their rights are being stripped. You can hear the fear in people's voices when they're calling,"

An online petition calling on the Canadian government to revoke Elon Musk's citizenship has been signed by more than 300,000 people (when told this on X, Musk replied, in a now-deleted post, "Canada is not a real country"). But according to experts, that's highly unlikely to happen. @cbcnews explains why.

Are there any reliable Canadian news sources out there? It's really about time that I get on this since I still have power to vote in federal elections Even if I haven't lived in the country for nearly 10 years. I'm aware of loads of smaller publications that are US-based, but none that are Canadian.
Edit: Should add just in case that I'm not particularly interested in reading news by and for Nazis. Just to be clear for anyone who thinks that's something I want to waste my life force doing.
Edit 2: It has been brought to my attention that I need to explicitly state that I don't need to be recommended the CBC. Probably safe to assume if it's an internationally recognized source, I'm likely already familiar with it. I'm looking for indie level stuff.

Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he's staying on as leader, even after 24 of his own MPs signed a letter asking him to step down. His governing Liberal Party is down 19 points in the polls against the Conservatives, led by right-wing populist Pierre Poilievre. Here's more from @cbcnews.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) says it has obtained evidence that agents of the Indian government are linked to homicides and acts of violence in Canada. The federal government has expelled six senior diplomats from India and the investigation is ongoing.
Meanwhile Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told an inquiry that he has the names of Conservative parliamentarians involved in foreign interference. Here's more from the @cbcnews.
Canada's Liberal government has survived a confidence vote brought by Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre in an effort to trigger an early election. The result was expected as the NDP and Bloc Québecois had signalled they wouldn't support the Conservative motion. The Conservatives are planning another non-confidence motion tomorrow, with a vote next week. Here's more from @cbcnews.
