aGENT Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 22 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: Yes, we will be waiting for the next election to see what happens. Based on the current poll numbers, PP would win an election today in the greatest landslide in Canadian political history… Which would be a mistake by Canadians. Voting out one bad option for a worse one, isn't progress. I wish voters would realize this, so we can get off this decades long yo-yo ride, and make some actual progress for once. 9 hours ago, bishopshodan said: I voted NDP last election and if it was tmr, I would again. Really want a new leader though. If they do that I feel they have a chance to make big waves. As per above, a solid campaign outlining getting off the shitty Liberal/Con yo-yo (that's done our country a disservice for decades), with an actual, electable leader at the helm, could probably make them some serious headway. 8 hours ago, Bob Long said: Cullen didn't have any national appeal. Sadly, I don't think he really wanted the big job either (one of many reasons he'd be great). Guy's one of the best politicians in Canada and would have made a FANTASTIC successor to Layton. Certainly FAR better than Mulcair or Singh. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there programs? We pretty much listen all day long and it’s not really programmed. It’s a combination of news and stories from around the country and some international reporting. Nothing bad. Just mostly left wing information. People would need to listen for a few days to get the feeling if what’s reported. There’s music too. And it’s interesting which artists are played. There’s definitely an agenda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t Cullen piss off some people in the party by suggesting they run joint candidates with the Greens to avoid splitting the vote in some Conservative ridings? I think the other guy was Topp who was part of Layton’s posse. Edited January 6 by 4petesake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, kind of got shafted for an "Eastern" candidate and then had different priorities (family), which you can hardly blame him for. Canada missed out though. Maybe when his kids get older...? 1 hour ago, Bob Long said: Yeah Im not sure.... would a reluctant leader be good? Maybe. Mostly referring to someone who's not in it as much for self serving reasons/glory. I feel he's a rare politician that's in politics to genuinely help the people that elected him.

Satchmo Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 12 minutes ago, D.B Cooper said: How can it be “highly factual” but biased. Is it a fact or not? Most if not all of those news outlets will have news - factual or not - as well as editorials and opinion pieces. It's the latter two that can lean one way or a another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 1 hour ago, D.B Cooper said: How can it be “highly factual” but biased. Is it a fact or not? The chart to me just shows where all the influence and money lies. The amount of money and exposure from the newspapers on the right side (ie. National Post, CTV News, The Sun, is disproportionate compared to the mostly independent news sources on the left. Nine of the newspapers listed on the right are owned by one company, Postmedia (which is American-owned and tied closely to the Republican Party). Drives me crazy when anyone starts spouting "left media" here in Canada. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all media outlets have a slant, either left or right, but I disagree that CBC is analogous to CNN and I disagree that CNN and Fox are "the same". When CNN has to pay close to a billion dollars for outright lies about a private company conspiring to fix a national election, then I'll believe that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
