I really hope the Liberals and other parties bring up how PP still won't get security clearance. How are we supposed to trust someone to govern us and claim to protect our sovereignty against the US and others, but they refuse to get clearance?

How are we supposed to trust someone to govern us and claim to protect our sovereignty against the US and others, but they refuse to get clearance?
The answer is you don't trust those kinds of people. Don't trust Conservatives or Pierre Poilievre.
Exactly. I just don't know why more conservatives who say they are all about Canadian sovereignty and security, still don't care that PP still refuses to get clearance.
Remember the trucker convoy and how angry they got when told to wear masks?
Now when there's an actually threat to Canadian sovereignty (tariff war), they've all but disappeared!
Conservatives talk about principles and morality, but have none.
Yeah, I remember that. They said they were doing it because they were patriots and speaking up for all of Canada (complete bs). But now there's an actual threat, and we don't hear from them.
The same people that did all that to protest wearing masks, are some of the same people who stood outside an immigration centre in Alberta with signs saying that immigrants were not welcome and should go home. Ironically, this time, those 'patriots' WERE wearing masks. But why? Why not own it if they're not afraid to let everyone know how they feel?
Unfortunately we are stuck with those people. But that's why I try to remain objective and encourage others to do so too.
That being said you're not the only one who feels that way! Cheer up!
.... because mainstream privately controlled and owned media is part of the conservative party
Also PP, when are you going to complete your security clearance? What are you hiding?
Exactly. I really hope the Liberals and ALL the other parties bring this up during the elections, and refuse to let it go, or let the question be deflected or ignored.
Link to a list of Canadian owned media.
The Post Media brands have never been seen as reputable though
Maybe not by you, but plenty of Canadians consume content from them.
There’s the sunshine girl but people know not to take it seriously
but people know not to take it seriously
That's a very big assumption, and based on how the country is moving (deeper into conspiracy theories and right-wing), I disagree.
Sadly, I’ve learnt only 63% of Canadians think climate change is man made anymore
I agree with you, that my ignorance was bliss and am ready for violence
Sure, that doesn't mean Postmedia isn't snapping up newspapers in small communities all across Canada.
As a comparison, Fox News isn't seen by anyone rational as reputable. And look at what they've had a hand in?
about 60% is owned by the Chatham Asset Management, the rest of Post Media is owned by Allianz Global Investors GmbH in Germany ... third on the list is Leon Cooperman, an American billionaire
about 1% is actually owned by Canadian companies and corporations
Can you point me to the breakdown? I've been linking the Wiki, and if it's outdated I'd rather be factually correct in my vitriolic and justified anger.
You're the second person I've seen point out Leon Cooperman's share. I'm really glad you didn't do what the other person did and slap "a JEEEEEWWWWWW!" after his name. It was really disgusting, and has no place in these discussions. We've got enough systemic racism and shit that need sorting without bringing antisemitism into the mix.
Edit: decided to look back at that other poster....and wouldn't you fucking know it. It was you. And also the numbers you quoted in this comment and the other one are different. So, I'd like to know, which set of numbers is the right one?
And remember all that stuff I said up top? Why you gotta fucking play it like that Cuz? I've seen you in a bunch of other threads for months. You always seemed like a decent person, why drop that Leon's Jewish? I've agreed with you on many things, we've had a couple of really pleasant interactions. Not so sure about you now.
Hey, if you got receipts of our boy Leon doing the "Anti-Zionist is literally anti-Semitic" thing I will happily join in slagging him for that. Otherwise...you know? There's other groups he's a part of that doesn't have anything to do with being Jewish. Like the fact that he's a billionaire, defacto part of the oligarchy, an automatic leech of society, that contributes nothing of value and objectively makes thousands, more likely millions, of other people's lives markedly worse....so the motherfucker can buy a new yacht. Shit head already has more money than anyone could reasonably spend in a lifetime.
I digress, following is a screenshot of your other post, it's important that we take responsibility for what we say.
I agree with you. Conservative bias in mainstream media is apparent to all except the willfully blind. Especially Financial Post. I stopped reading their garbage more than a decade ago. And I'm not touching Toronto Sun with anything.
Why not link to the article instead of Blue Sky?
It was a direct quote was from the Bluesky post.
