That's why I am saying I want to follow Canadian politics through Canadian media, but the way some papers report on foreign events, like Nice, gives me a pretty good idea of how they operate.

Well first regarding the points of the brexiteers, these are quotes which have been taken terribly out of contest, for example with the 350M quote from Farage, he said it was a mistake to suggest that money would all be spent on the NHS, because the reality is the government will have the control of that money, which wasn't the case before, so the government can choose to spend that money on the NHS, or on schools, roads, bridges, etc. Not necessarily on the NHS, although if the elected government wanted to spend all 350M on the NHS, they could. The whole point of Brexit was to take back control. I am well aware that both left and right wing media have a bias, that's expected. However, the left's new trend is a constant pursuit of obfuscating reality, which is very different, like the example I gave on the Nice attacks, or how major left-wing papers have simply chosen to ignore the worrying increase of rapes in Germany, etc. Right wing media may be partisan, but at least they aren't trying to hide reality. Also it is impossible to escape left wing media, the BBC here is not as shameless as the CBC but they give it a pretty good try, and I usually read lefty posts to engage with different opinions, that being said, when I actually want to find out what's going on in the world, I am better off reading a proper newspaper.

Spot on with both points, the left here is plagued with antisemitism and general delusion, the leader of the biggest left-wing party here refers to Hamas and Hezbollah as 'friends', compares Israel to ISIS, sympathises with the IRA, blames terrorism on foreign policy, etc. I don't think Trudeau is quite there yet, but he isn't much better.

Haha brilliant, I guess I triggered a few with my very first post on here.

I am all for understanding those I disagree with, I used to be a lefty myself until I realised how fundamentally rotten the left was, through books like What's Left, from Nick Cohen, etc. Anyway, the reason I prefer right wing newspapers is because they're the ones who are actually reporting the news as they are, without trying to obfuscate reality and show the world through the lens of delusion of left wing media, for example, with the recent attacks in Nice, you had the likes of the CBC with headlines like "Truck attacks crowd", laughable stuff.

Thank you, very helpful answer, so the National Post is my best bet to get decent Canadian news then?

Thanks for the help although I don't get the hostility, I never said I was looking for sensationalism or tabloids, which seems to be what the Toronto Sun is, that's why I mentioned I like the Telegraph and Spectator, which are very far from our own tabloids like the Daily Mail, Express, etc. I am familiar with the Globe and Mail, they are pretty much Canada's version of the Guardian, which is very far from actual news. So the Montreal Gazzete, Calgary Herald, Citizen, etc, are all regional affiliates of the National Post? They all claim to be or have the reputation to be centre-right papers?

Hello, Recently I've taken a keen interesting in Canadian politics, (I am from the UK) and i want to follow the conservative party race, being as I am a Tory myself, but I was wondering if someone could help me out with some doubts. -Which is the best right wing Canadian newspaper? Is it the national post? I've been checking it out but it barely seems conservative, it looks as PC and deluded as many lefty publications, although I must say so far I've found the CBC and the likes of the Toronto Star to be nothing short of laughable in their bias. So I'd appreciate if someone could recommend me Canadian right wing papers, magazines, podcasts, tv channels, etc. If you are familiar with British papers, I am a fan of the Spectator and The Telegraph, so something around those lines but Canadian would be great. -Who are the sort of right wing members of the conservative party? and of those running? I've noticed Bernier is the libertarian, but among the rest, I've noticed little difference between Michael Chong and Clement, they both seem like liberals in disguise, I am a fan of Jason Kenney as he is a great friend of Britain but I know he's running to be Alberta's premier. Is MacKay to the right of the party? or will all candidates be essentially centre-ish? Looking forward to the answers and thanks for the help in advance!
