CBC tells staff not to call 9/11 a ‘terrorist attack’

With the 25th anniversary of 9/11 on the horizon, the CBC has circulated a memo to reporters and editors across all its news platforms reminding them not to refer to the attacks that claimed 3,000 lives and changed the modern world as “terrorist attacks.”

The missive from the broadcaster’s journalistic standards and practices office, a copy of which was obtained by National Post, includes a section of the “longstanding language guidance” on the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks carried out by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda.


Don’t put Muslims in charge of anything. They can’t control themselves. Their lives are an acting out of a cultish nightmare.

Missing was any direct acknowledgment of concerns about surveillance by the CCP.

DeSantis cuts tattoos, tanning beds, and tobacco from welfare benefits list

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on Monday announced reforms are coming to some welfare benefits, restricting them from being spent on “unnecessary” items.

DeSantis, who is viewed as a possible 2028 presidential contender, said he is working with the Trump administration to amend the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families State Plan, spurring changes to what welfare recipients can spend their Temporary Cash Assistance benefits on. Once implemented, the move would bar funds from being spent on items ranging from vaping products to pornography.
