Trump, kindly go fuck yourself.
For now…
Once PP gets the reigns, Trump will just push him around like the spineless demagogue he is. …just a ‘lesser Trump’. Canada will be sold out by PP. Mark my words.

CTV news is part of bell Canada, it’s not government funded.
Au contraire, mon ami. BCE is one of very few (4), select, federally enforced, communications oligarchies.
Through their spuriously “independent” federal regulatory arm (CRTC), and their federally funded enforcement arm (CITT), BCE has enjoyed government funding and protections for over a century.
Saying BCE is somehow NOT government supported naïve at best. It is a facile and superficial assessment of a deeply embedded federally funded entity.
Truly a shallow read, there, BlameThePeacock.
Well thats worse

“They don’t criticize Trudeau, and if someone instantly shows I’m wrong, well, that doesn’t count!” -You, a very serious person.

There isn’t a news outlet in Canada that isn’t government-subsidized in some shape or form by that measure. Even non-profits are, via direct tax exemptions, or tax exemptions given to their donors.
I don’t think that assertion is true, so I did some quick googling.
For example PostMedia received 35 million in government funds in 2021 according to pressprogress
Searching through Government of Canada Grants and Contributions you can find lots of public funds. here
My two cents, if it very important we as a society publicly fund Canadian news organizations to help keep them, fair, balanced and, trustworthy as it can be from both sides of the spectrum.

I’m a little confused who you are talking to and the points you are trying to make.
My statement was a rebuke of your assertion that only left leaning media gets public funds, of which I think I showed wasn’t true.
For the record there is such a thing as the far-right just like there is such a thing as the far-left.
It’s also amusing you complain about childish name calling and then proceed to do just that.
Not worth talking to them. They’re either deliberately trolling or incapable of coherent thought, or both.
Well they got banned so I guess I don’t have to worry about that anymore. lol
I don’t engage with them often, and I’ll admit it can be frustrating. I’m making a conscious effort to connect with people who hold different ideas or worldviews, Like a new years resolution.
They do have to “agree” to meet in reality though.
Lol I’m so glad you’re not in a position to articulate policy directions on my behalf. Holy freaking god. Our education system. It just…failed you.

For the record, there is no such thing as “far right” you mental case
Nazis never existed. Fascism is imaginary. You heard it here first!
For the record, there is no such thing as “far right” you mental case
Considering nobody said anything about the “far right” I can only conclude you’re not interested in listening to what people are actually saying and are just screaming from your soap box.
I received a $400 cheque from the Alberta government one time. Feels good to be government funded!
That’s exactly what a government funded shill would say!
WHY DID RALPH SEND YOU?
What are we smoking that CTV is government-funded? Or is it lack of reading past the title? Because last I checked Bell Media isn’t the Canadian government.
What news websites would you recommend for Canadian news that have not received government funding?

Government funded news is more trustworthy than that rag.
Damn I missed the notification for this, and now the comment is deleted. Even though mine was a rhetorical question I was still morbidly curious what sort of garbage this troll was consuming.
Canada can come down here and burn down the White House. Again.
I’ll provide the marshmallows.
Pretty sure that was the British
just looked it up, it was the british. in an operation led by (drumroll please): rear-admiral george cockburn. i didnt read further and now believe he incinerated the whitehouse with his power of dick rashes
There’s a great song about him called The Man who Burned the a White House Down by David Rovics
The irony that if the reverse happened so much would actually improve for the ex-Americans, Canada, and most of the World.
Only the northern border and the coasts. The rest is pretty unfixable.
East Coast to a point, before you hit the Carolinas would be where I’d draw the line.
I volunteer Washington state as tribute!
Utah can fuck off too. The mormons at least.
That beautiful land is wasted on them.
Shouldnt even dignify the orange moron with an answer
Well yeah, that was obvious from the start.
Its almost as if nobody realised decades ago that putting all our eggs in one super nation state basket for world protection, a super nation that had been known to have Hollywood politics corrupt to its core, was a bad, bad idea…
with the foreign interference report in the news in canada, canadians need to be reminded that america is also foreign actor that intereferes with our country’s affairs. They are just as Malicious as the Indians, Chinese and Russians. At least the intereference that comes from the EU is still in our own interests, unlike the robbers, theives, killers, and hopeful Suzerian’s of the others

All I can say is freedom isn’t free. Maybe that’s something Canadians need to learn, I don’t know - I don’t really want to assume. But I got a cascadian flag tattoo on my left arm like a soldier’s patch for a reason. I’ve been thinking in neomedieval military terms since I was a teenager at an alternative high school in the late 2000s.
Freedom needs to be constantly defended. If you can’t give up any kind of tribute to a governing authority or series of governing authorities to defend it for you or don’t find any existing entity as authentically defending it then you frankly have to defend it yourself. Same principle for arguing in favor of participatory democracy - if you don’t participate in democracy in some meaningful way you are bound to lose it.
I prefer Elizabeth May’s invitation to California, Oregon and Washington.
USA can stay red, impoverished and ignorant. The adults in the room can get on with Nation Building.
Maybe BC would go there to form Cascadia.
ON and MB would join up with IL, MI, WL and MN.
Maritime Provinces & NL would go with New England.
Quebec would finally gain independence. And the territories would have to accept their new reality.
AB can fuck off.

sad Saskatchewan noises

As an Alberta I resent the accuracy of your assessment…
Try as he may, Herr Drumpf will have to pry the maple syrup from my cold, dead hand.
If Canada were to be annexed into the United States, it would rank as the third most populous state, and the second largest in terms of GDP.
As it is the second largest country in the world, it’s size would be unmatched by any U.S. state. Length and girth.
Trump needs to shut the fuck up.
