This cannot be a more important time to have media with journalistic independence which cannot be dictated by oligarch owners.

"When we compare ourselves to the U.K., France or Germany, we see that our public broadcaster is underfunded," Carney said in French during a campaign stop in Montreal. "That has to change."

Poilievre became the federal Conservative leader by courting the support of the convoy movement. His policy shop has given a veto to people who think the World Economic Forum has a secret plan to force us all to eat insects. Which is probably why he thinks it's a good idea to kill our public broadcaster, CBC, during a sovereignty crisis, when our largest newspaper chain is majority­owned by an American hedge fund #news #factchecked #cbc #canada #poilievre #conservatives thestar.com/opinion/contributo

@Pamela1960 I just watched a segment of the #CBC where they were talking to people in Kentucky, asking them what they thought of the tariffs... One man said he didn't know how tariffs worked but he was behind the president. Pretty well everyone they spoke to was a blind supporter...

I wanted to put 5 choices and have an option for “I am not Canadian, show me the results” but couldn’t add more than 4 (and had limitations on characters for each option). I have heard some commentary lately about mistrusting the CBC, and Poilievre is talking about defunding it … I am curious where fediverse Canadians are at with the CBC! #elxn45 #cadpoli #cbc

I really don't see how the #CPC thinks that their Lucky #PierrePoilievre 's refusal/inability/whatever to receive the basic security clearance required to view the full #NSICOP report on foreign interference can even be shrugged off as the usual

'good people break bad rules'

set of dbl standards conservatives hold so dear.

CBC's R. Barton seems to be trying to get Canadians to swallow it along with her, and I hope she chokes on her efforts, Canada's existence is at stake here!

This is an excellent Evan Dyer piece on how #BigHands constantly lies.

It's one thing to cheat at Monopoly with your little kids, to teach them the importance of a corrupt economic system. It's another thing as a leader to constantly lie about information, and to exploit and intimidate and threaten your allies.

End the fascist.

Is Evan Dyer related to Gwynne Dyer? I mean, could be obvious?
