I wanted to put 5 choices and have an option for “I am not Canadian, show me the results” but couldn’t add more than 4 (and had limitations on characters for each option). I have heard some commentary lately about mistrusting the CBC, and Poilievre is talking about defunding it … I am curious where fediverse Canadians are at with the CBC! #elxn45 #cadpoli #cbc

[Re] Rosie Barton's choice to question PM Carney's truthfulness regarding his blind trust.
