These unpatriotic whiners insist on living in a dream world where because things were, they mus have been better. Oooh we all miss black & white TV and those exotic Jello & tuna dinners, calling Grandma in North Van long distance, playing with Bolo bats under the willow trees, no natives allowed in bars and boat people from the UK being allowed to vote without citizenship. Glory days driving the Acadian or the Frontenac to the Safeway to get a box of KD for 19 cents and a tin can of 50 Sweet Caps for 43c. Hear them whimper how multiculturalism, bilingualism and the maple leaf and the metric system destroyed the country for fifty more years. Dig the old dusty leather strap from storage and beat some sense into those insolent Liberals.

Actually the American public had a massive simultaneous brain fart that helped by the Electoral College handed The Lying Rapist the win.

Remember when he was asked "Have you no shame, sir?" and McCrthy and his committee petered out...? Now you'd get a reply Trump and his MAGAoids. "Shame? Whassat?"

Thing was when Don Donald said it, his audience of pinheads applauded. Duh he said something! Don't think about what he said, just cheer cuz he said it! Hillary's deplorable was about the politest term one could use to describe his supporters.

WAS the operative verb, not IS. Like sands thought the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. And some people enjoy being buried by it.

And that last part of my post was devoted to people as politically ignorant as you who believe it's truth and that Parliament votes on apps and Ministry decisions, and the PM decides if your toast will burn.

Didn't realize it until last night but the news and the odd W5 is about all I ever tune to CTV. Prime time is all shit reality shows and they've turned Scfi into utter crap, just non-stop Star Trek, Castle & Stargate reruns.

WTF??? They announced cuts at CTV one night and that only Toronto & Montreal would be kept and the very next night the Vancouver news at 11:30 was gone, replaced by Seinfeld reruns. Tonight it's back! And Global switched since last I tuned in their news, local first, National at 11:30.... WTF?

Reason was more like the usual Lib/Tory/almost all big business "don't tell the coder exactly what you want and who the users are going to be - just farm it out to the cheapest". I'm sure the Tories would've picked someone off a Facebook ad or a phishing email. To be fair and unbiased we'd get ArriveCan 1.0 about 2040 under the NDP as they'd grab the civil servant with the most seniority and we'd have to wait until they completed their degree. Probably a blind person of colour in a wheelchair with ESL. And two refugee trannies to do the French website translations. Right?

Plenty of proof of that right here in this thread. (prepare for usual gish gallopper within 30 seconds)

Keep that under your pillow for protection against the bogeyman.

At last one intelligent response that even relates to the subject. Churchill, Marxism, as per usual no one can reply to the subject. The fire downtown, the murder in Surrey, the car crash on the Ironworlkers bridge, if it's gonna rain overnight so roll up your windows or if tomorrow's a snow day, who won the game -all leftist communist biased MSM lies. So say the brain dead. I do know one woman who doesn't watch the news because it's 'too biased'. Still hot as hell in her fifties but dumber than most teenagers. She has an app on her computer screen that tells her the current weather even though there's a window behind he monitor.

Asides from these right wing parrots claiming CTV is "biased", gutting local relevance from the schedule is the worst way to 'cut costs' and denying it to entire provinces is abhorrent. Like DO TELL ME what was 'biased' on CTV Vancouver, the fact they cheered the Canucks and Lions over the Leafs and Argos? Leftist traffic, weather and traffic reports? That they don't report Poilievre's messages unless he's in or speaking about BC? That they do report Trudeau speaking in or about BC without belittling everything? You dolts have zero knowledge or even know what "news" is. I always preferred watching the 11:00 world coverage and then the 11:30 local coverage on CTV (two entirely different things) as CBC has more detailed coverage of far fewer subjects in the same time, and theirs is too early. Global mixes everything together and has too much sports reporting. You too can do hear the news if you're even capable of ignoring or recognizing news from editorial content. Which CTV even makes a point of declaring what is opinion for the sake of the extremely thick viewers. Maybe CITY can round up the funds to take on some of the let go CTV staff.

OMG you're saying they have enough money to buy up houses and drive up prices yet are drains to the economy in the same breath, are you? Both my grandfathers lived in homesteader wood shacks and worked their butts off for every penny to buy their first real house. My 1st wife's entire family came to Canada mid 1960s from the UK and never did own a house. The wife and I had to move way out the valley and use 2 union incomes and every nickel we could save, beg or borrow to get our 1st house. So just give up the whining, you're never gonna afford a house in Vancouver and that's that. You are an example of what I posted.

So bah-ding Bell drops CTV News Vancouver and BC loses all it's relevant content. As did many other cities and the provinces they're in. Been a follower of CTV since it came on the air in 1962? 1963? and used to go to the studios for rassling and kid's game contests all thru my youth. Disgusted! And will be intentionally avoiding any service Bell provides from now on. As well as a boot in the arse for anyone proposing cuts to CBC so we all can lose any local content.

I will go down to the homeless encampment with a purple inkpad and stamp their fingers, then everyone will know they're good outstanding citizens and suddenly accept them as humans.

But those EIGHT kids... they did something some people don't like and it wasn't even against the law ! We must have a law so we can punish those EIGHT PEOPLE to protect the rest of us or soon it will be your kid.... AAUUGGGHHH EMERGENCY DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER Amazing how a loudmouthed obstinate politician can build a mountain without even having a mole hill to start with.

The buffoon is putting his ignorance on display again. The so-called businessman can only count monetary values, showing his total inability to understand govt is not a 'business' and neither is the military. He's a toady to what Eisenhower warned everyone about - the Military Industrial Complex. Where Raytheon and General Dynamics tell the govt what to do instead of you and Airbus and Embrauer get penalized for being "govt subsidized" where as Boeing's military contracts "are not" govt subsidies. He's also demonstrating the dangers of electing this oaf to office, He will - something neither his party came up with, nor it's supporters in their platform, just him. He will tell his Party what it's platform is, not the membership. And of course he needs complete immunity for any decision he makes as well.... The imbecile's latest statement that he would sell his own allies down the river makes the fate of Ukraine pretty obvious if he's elected. They'll no longer be a country but another Russian Oblast and Trump will dance about in glee claiming how he solved the problem, too thick and oblivious to even bear any shame like Neville Chamberlain. But it's yet another reason in the long, long list of why he won't be.

He is. The scripture of those who profess to be 'the real conservatives'. Take it with the same grain of salt as Christians; those that proclaim the loudest are the least.

Sorry for the smartass remark but seeing as how 'the drugs' make the angels and genies go away, there's little need to say you had schizophrenia. You still do. Or severe bipolar.

51 people deciding to kill the other 49 is also perfectly democratic. And you can blame the Federal govt for putting in that anti-democratic clause in in the first place. One province deciding to do something regardless of what the other 9 -plus 3 territories want is anything but democracy.

And there was a milkman, a breadman, an eggman and a Chinese guy that drove a 1930s truck through the streets selling fresh vegetables. Fuller brush man and the Avon lady. Mom sent you to the store with a quarter to get a quart of milk and you got 6c to buy candy for you * your sisters. You could buy the world's shittiest built gas guzzling air polluting American car for $2000. Then you ran into evolution and just could not adapt, keeping your last row in the class "the teachers are all stoopid". "it's someone else's fault". "I shouldn't have to", "they won't give me a job" attitude intact. Let alone this snivelling whine that 40 million people is why you can't buy the same plot of land the other 39,999,999 people will bid on. The epitome of coddled, lazy, unadventurous, entitled malcontents or what? Self defined 'conservatives' that want the govt less involved in their lives but want them to control prices, production, 'purity' of the population and regulate thoughts of "others"?

And I could buy a glass of beer then for 20c then too. What's that got to do with it? BTW average homes in Burnaby were about $32,000 when I graduated in 1970. In 1983 they were $65,000+ out in Langley, and 40 years later they're $350+ as far away as Prince George. No you're not gonna afford a home in Vancouver or Toronto or even Calgary unless you bought it long ago, Try Spuzzum

Quit confusing the guy with actual facts. He's so deluded he thinks facts are lies and the shit that spews from Trump's gob is truth. Donald is counting on such people that can be fooled all of the time.

You live in the best country on Earth. Sounds like many of you were so spoiled by that you don't know it. It used to be better, my ass.
