Congratulations you have listed the one company that's government-funded.

 

Now who funds CTV?  National Post?  Globe and Mail?  Toronto Star?  Oh right - private private private private

 

Don't even try to spread that shit about leftist media.  This isn't the fucking Tea Party over here

That's fair. My mistake with regards to that (not that I inherently said that all media in Canada is government funded, but somewhat implied it). Nevertheless, CBC, the TV station that all Canadians can get, is heavily government funded

Math? Math isn't good enough? If it costs more to produce food (due to higher costs of heating using carbon related energy of which costs more due to the tax) then farmers have to charge more. Besides, the fact that if you go grocery shopping you'll know that food prices keep going up for Canadian produce. This isn't as much going to affect imported goods (though it will, due to the increased cost of gas which makes shipping the food cost more, depending on where the gas is obtained and how much is needed to get the food to various municipalities). You just wait a few years and see the results. The latest hike happened a month ago. The effects won't necessarily be obvious immediately. Going to have to wait for that data.

 

It's not good enough show me harsh evidence.  I just told you not try and make a common sense argument because I can pick apart to shreds.  What I want is some hard ass statistics or study that proves what you're saying.  Because the stats are all there.  And they say you're completely full of shit.

No shit everyone has access to CBC because it's government funded.  The one public news network is... accessible to all the public. 

 

Are you being serious right now?

This is why I said my post was a waste of time, but here you go:

 

 

 

I'd recommend people do actual research to have informed opinions rather than relying on the media (funded by Trudeau's government) to give honest journalism

 

But that's Pierres YouTube channel. How the heck is that independent research?

Are we back on the whole CBC is biased towards the Liberals because they need the funding nonsense?

 

I suppose it didn't exist through the Harper years? :classic_rolleyes:

We are. If nothing else, todays conservatives are consistent.

Do you actually know why he took photos with those 4 individuals?  Because he has reasons for all of them, some excuses better than others.

 

You are nothing more than a liar spreading misinformation at this point.  

So spit it out. What are his excuses for all four of them? 

After reading enough of your posts,  I know you can't handle other opinions, but that doesn't mean I'm a liar and spreading misinformation. Grow up

Thanks, just came to inform that Psycho that it receives funding from the CANADIAN government. Not the Liberal party. It still received funding under previous Conservative governments as well. And any additional funding it has received recently is also under a minority government, which requires multiple party support to even pass. 

 

And as @Miss Korea already pointed out, the VAST majority of news is very much right (and America) leaning. The CBC itself is actually pretty moderate.

I can think of 600 million reasons why the media is friendly to Trudeau, and they got another top up during covid. And how far left do you have  to be to think CTV or the globe and mail is conservative. Global too. That's just ridiculous

Well, you know, there are people here who believe that if you're not fundamentalist christian evangelist/evangelical and sit to left of ultra-/neo-nationalism, then you're a pablum-puking pinko liberal/socialist/commie that is only capable of echo-chambering.  :classic_rolleyes:

I couldn't help but notice that at least one of the Trudeau bashers linked opinion pieces from the National Post as a source. Pretty ironic to be slamming CBC as biased, while at the same time citing Canada's answer to Faux News as rebuttal....:classic_rolleyes:

Have you ever heard of Rosemary Barton, JP Tasker or Aaron Wherry?  Do you honestly believe they are "pretty moderate"?  It's like all their articles come straight out of the PMO. But sure Christian evangelist something something 😂

Like they say, just listen to the people running for office if you want to know what they will do. Skippy is planning to use the notwithstanding clause to push through new laws. 

 

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he would use "whatever tools the Constitution allows" to pass criminal laws if his party forms the next government.

 

Speaking to the Canadian Police Association on Monday, Poilievre promised to implement more stringent requirements for bail and make it harder for convicted murderers to transfer out of maximum security prisons.

 

"All of my proposals are constitutional," Poilievre said.

 

"We will make them constitutional, using whatever tools the Constitution allows me to use to make them constitutional. I think you know exactly what I mean."

Yeah, because CNN does so much reporting on Canadian Politics. :classic_rolleyes:

 

Sometimes you should just say nothing, if all you're going to do is say something stupid.

Iirc:

CBC gets funding, because it operates under different rules, than the other major networks.

don't they have to make and show more Canadian content, and be more widely available than the other 'biggies'?

Conservatives have defined real news as only the news that supports them and attacks everything not conservative 

 

In the USA only news like.newsmax and fox are considered truthful and in Canada rebel news and PP's social media accounts are the only truth tellers 

It's like the Simpsons cult episode .... The leader .......

 

PP plays have followers like the fools they are just waiting on the leaders divine words of thruth

 

If it was so terrifying how bad it's ripping apart this country it would be the making of an hilarious comedy movie

 

Today's cult of conservatism axe the tax media is proclaiming that all goods went up 23% in April 1 and as soon as PP is elected all items will immediately fall by at least 23% immediately 

A new one .... Employer and employee CPP premiums will be halved because PP is the best investor in the world and will get so much more for much less from banks that pensions for seniors will become more powerful and save workers so much money 

 

Not to be undone in the contest for best bat shit crazy of the day they are also claiming that an upcoming side to civil power exercise the military is going to be conducting is proof positive truduea is about to impose military rule and they call in the military to stand down and desert.   The exercise? A training co partnering with civil authorities going door to door checking on people is a training situation depicting a serious heat wave ( to make sure we don't see the deaths we saw in several recent heat waves)

 

I'm not saying tin foil hats are manditory for membership but I'm wondering if due to the price of aluminum foil maybe they decided to substitute what use to be our Canadian flag as the.new tin foil hats 

 

The PP fan club here is hilarious in how deep there into his cult and not even realizing how much control he has over their every thought

That and they have to provide regional and local programing and news

 

In alot of remote communities in Canada the only means of news was and is the CBC. The big money private media companies have no interest in tiny little locations that won't drive revenue profits .... Much like how we are seeing most community newspapers bought up and then closed with a regional paper being forced ....

 

Conservatives hate the CBC because they aren't controlled by them like the other media is.

That’s not fair to criticize the columnist who writes for the National Post.

She also writes for The Epoch Times…

This is a personal favourite question of mine.

 

Can anyone, ANYONE on the Pierre is the best option crowd show me where and who the last PM to take power was that successfully made everything cheaper, reigned in inflation and what that meant to the overall economy or what steps were taken to make it happen 

 

I'll wait
