Canada’s Next Election Will Be Like None Before

When trying to get the public to vote against their own interests, like in the case of free and fair news media, first sabotage the media, then claim they're not doing their jobs. Cripple a horse so we think we have to shoot it.

People should ask themselves when they started hating the CBC and look into who owned it and what policies and interests were guiding their coverage.

Like honestly, it's such an obvious play but it keeps fucking working.

To be fair the CBC is really shit in terms of content especially compared to what radio-canada outputs. The CBC is much more clickbaity and sensionalist while radio-canada is more neutral and facts based

So many loud uneducated buffoons.

I’ve always understood that you never refer to the Prime Minister by only their name, that’s just rude and lacks any class. It wasn’t “Justin” or “Trudeau”, it was Prime Minister Trudeau or Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The cons are really the party of the uneducated and no manners. They’ll get in for a term, fuck it up and get tossed out. How it always works.

Except Harper. He got in with a minority. Fucked around a little, prorogued parliament under threat of a coalition that would have shifted him into the minority, won that election with a majority, then fucked around even more for 5 years.

Then, he got voted out.

Pwah-lie-every was Harper's protégé. Expect every shenanigan there is.

The CBC is a sad catastrophe. The world and financial model in media is completely different but their mandate hasn't changed. It's not 2005 anymore. Harper did nothing to help, and Trudeau has been a complete failure here. Further, the Liberal policies on the media failed and in hindsight, we can see accelerated the collapse. Now half the country thinks it's all Trudeau funded propaganda and they have a point, since his policies actually pay to keep the remnants of the old world mainstream press in business. In practice this is enriching shareholders in Postmedia as the last drops of value are extracted from its miserable corpse, and providing funds to Bell who repurposes the money as they desperately try to recover from 2 decades of mismanagement.

I can only imagine what PP will do since we live in a world where policies and platforms are a sure fire way to lose an election, but not in my wildest fantasies do I foresee a reimagining of our public broadcaster by his government. What could possibly remain by 2030? To me, it's a lost cause so I'll focus my time and effort elsewhere.
