For Canadians

[rootttyyy]

There's something seriously wrong with the current media landscape in Canada.
Why are they so soft on the Trudeau government?
Why are so-called journalists much more critical of Trudeau's political opponents?
Why do media outlets often repeat Liberal talking points in their news coverage?
We saw this during the Freedom Convoy.
It was clear from the start, as trucks began making their way to Ottawa to protest government lockdowns and mandates, Prime Minister Trudeau didn't want to deal with them.
So he labelled the entire protest as "fringe," "hateful" and "far-right."
Almost immediately, the legacy media took their cues from Trudeau and began writing numerous stories smearing the Convoy in any way possible.
By the time the truckers arrived in Ottawa, the narrative was set: these were hateful, radical, MAGA-funded, far-right, racists and yes – even Nazis.
Of course, none of this was true.
The Convoy consisted of freedom-loving Canadians who simply wanted change.
And the protest was peaceful – and even featured bouncy castles and hot tubs!
Why couldn't the legacy media cover the protests honestly and fairly?
Could this perhaps have something to do with government funding?
The media landscape in Canada has drastically changed in the last few years.
Legacy media outlets have become reliant on government handouts in order to stay afloat – and the government knows this.
Millions of taxpayer dollars are going to outlets like the CBC, Postmedia, the Toronto Star and more.
How can these outlets remain neutral and fair? How would they react if a politician threatened to pull their funding?

i was part of the protests in 2020-2021 at dundas square. this is across from eaton center. there was never violence for months of saturday morning protest. police were always there. in february 2021 the police started harrassing and butalizing the group ,as numbers dwindled from the bitter cold.i just watched a video of hundreds of hamas sympathisers flood into the Easons center and disrupt shoppers and businesses . police did nothing . the sympathisers were chanting death threats to jews, not protected speach

The irony of branding them Hamas Sympathisers in a thread bemoaning the supposed rebranding of the Freedom Convoy

Hey Buzz.

I am still awaiting your correction of any facts that I stated. You cannot do that so what do you do….. you start attacking me for posting something that you dislike. Surely this is not the way to discuss things. And just out of curiosity, what country do you assume I am from?

 

[GOrwell]

Hey Malaki,

You seem to have missed his point entirely, which was actually relevant and poignant for this discussion – not that that surprises me reading your 'takes' above.

Nobody cares where you're from, the point was, you're an immigrant spreading hate about the country You Chose to call home. The supposed "laughing stock of the world" ( which I presume is one of your 'facts' ).

That was the point.

The only one offering anything coherent in this "Nice discussion going here" is from the Droid, and while I don't particularly align with his perspective, I do deeply respect his ability and willingness to share his ideals.

But your opening monolog (ignoring that it's mostly copy and paste, and made up of rhetorical questions) is that you can't trust Canadian Media, from the source 'True North' ( which is right leaning Canadian Media ).

I mean, this is literally step one of a cult, don't trust anyone but me

The difference from the USA to Canada now I read the post of someone who watches USA news and saw the trucker thing on the news and what did u see them blocking the USA from getting stuff prob u didn't see what went on in Ottawa and what a shi* show it was cops doing nothing helping them everything closed down town parties going on like it was the 4 of July, and it would have gone on and on if Justin Trudeau didn't use the act and get them out of here yes what where they're protesting covid remember that yup that was a big thing for Canada now the USA land of the free and shootings trump !!! Why is trump better than Justin Trudeau he is not you guys will vote in trump he will screw up the USA and after 4 years u will be we should have never voted him in ya thanks more trump is all we need in Canada and another thing is shootings in the USA it happens everyday people are dying why because everyone has a gun and again USA never does anything about it u may lock them up and there parents 2 good jobs, but a copy cat will do the same thing it goes on and on and on in Canada we don't have people killing people everyday strange huh look at what happened in kc another stupid shooting over nothing killing 1 and hurting lots more now I know I went of topic but u think Justin Trudeau is an ass most people do but at lease if he pulled a trump it wouldn't take all the BS u guys are taking to get him to stop now I know the USA is all bad there is good and same here 99% is awesome one bad thing happens, and it's all over the news looking like Canada has lost it now will, it happens again NOPE we learned our lesson not like u guys once is more than enough for us lol ill end it with this is Canada perfect nope does Canada have homeless everywhere yes do we love Justin Trudeau some don't and some don't do we have stuff that makes the news all over yes we do so that is that

if he pulled a trump it wouldn't take all the BS u guys are taking to get him to stop now

What would you like us to do?

1. Violence would end any chance he has of ever being voted in. But, that seems to be the reputation America has the world over. Always solving their issues with violence.
2. What's killing us.. is that our Constitution doesn't have "freedom of religion and beliefs.. except for being a white supremacist, racist or otherwise belief that would turn America into a Fascist/Communist country". We have Nazis marching in the streets... and here, that's okay. It shouldn't be. No other country allows that crap at all. Millions died worldwide preventing that, but low and behold... our Statue of Liberty stands for that here.

See... with freedom of speech, comes freedom of consequences with the Republican party. You would think otherwise, but in reality everyone can see that doesn't work AT ALL. Like, not even a single bit. That's a serious kink in the armor.

The US isn't a stock democracy or he would have been imprisoned long ago. You'd also think that the majority rules... it does not. All it takes is one person to complain, to fire a bullet, to get on a plane with some stupid device hidden in your shoe... pollute Tylenol bottles.. whatever, and when they scream the loudest.. America doesn't turn away, they cater to them.

That's the problem. The majority doesn't rule... the minority does. The rich minority. So.. until we take all their money away, not sure what else it is anyone cares for us to do.

Even when it's written plain and clear, that anyone inciting a rebellion or insurrection against the country cannot run for office.. is running for office, now you see the problem. Our Judicial branch should NEVER cater to any of the other branches... but they do because they are party associated. No judge on any supreme court, state or federal... should be associated with one side or the other. Serious, serious problems occur (like they are now) when they lean in any direction other than supporting the Constitution.
