if the Liberals win the next election, I will be pushing them to stop subsidizing foreign owned media in Canada
You can hold whatever political views you want but Canadian taxpayers should not be paying Americans to spread their propaganda
Looking at you Postmedia

It's across ALL media outlets
I would like the government to require that 60% of the company be Canadian for it to qualify for subsidies
It's not a shutdown of right-wing news
They just don't get taxpayer dollars if they're not majority owned by a Canadian

Also ranked ballot voting to protect against the evil manipulations of the fascist IDU, other fascist movements & unions in the world
b/c simple 1800s FPTP democracy is crumbling under the intentional evil of 2000s' weaponized/manipulated social media messaging/"polling" and tracking

Not industry or investment
Back in the 1970s David Lewis coined the phrase “corporate welfare bums”.
The taxpayer has no place stuffing money into corporate pockets
T: America is broken
PP: Canada is broken
T: immigration bad
PP: immigration bad
T: America first
PP: Canada first
PP waited until he saw the polls before standing up for Canada.
As effed up as the US is, I believe the government supports VOA and partially subsidizes PBS ( Public Broadcast Corporation), like your CBC. PP wants to defund it??
Trump appointed a nut job to VOA & the GOP tries to defund PBS every year.
I’m a democrat and if anyone here thinks the people arguing Trump should be on money and his birthday a holiday are going to make him leave office your crazy.
Do what you do Canadians. We are cooked.
I'm so sorry about what's happening there
I believe your last election was stolen
& I don't think your next election will be fair
The money would come from cutting subsidies of foreign-owned media
Conrad Black was bad enough. Now we have f***ing RW "asset managers".
But they have to be Canadian
Not foreign
& not foreign funded
Journalism is so important to democracy that it should not have corporate influence.
Postmedia not only shouldn't be foreign controlled, it shouldn't exist as a for profit corporation.

I'll have to think about that

I just didn't want to jinx it 🤷🏼♂️
(Totally get the jinx though)
Telling their advertisers that you will not support them, and why, can also be effective
The US isn't the only one with oligarchs trying to take over. We have the CEO of Shopify, whose wife got to interview Skippy while no MSM reporters got the same access. We have our oil & gas oligarchs and there are probably some in mining and tech.

Electoral Reform
There's no point until the race is run
If we wait until he's elected, he'll do what Trudeau did.
"This system elected me, so it must be working!"
Squeaky wheels, and all that.
