Not really. I mean sure if you want to count anyone with an opinion and a blog a journalist, otherwise reliable quality news outlets are increasingly unable to stand on their own. The big so-called legacy media outlets that are thriving are horizontally integrated into huge corporate conglomerates that can afford them. You think the public will have enough of a bullshit filter to compete against the bias dominating the media landscape then? Good luck. You can bet the big corporate media outlets are thrilled at the thought of squelching out public broadcasters. You're playing into their hands the way climate change deniers play into fossil fuel industries.

I'm still talking about supporters of PP who don't believe or give a shit about climate change and loath virtue signalling about it like they loath Trudeau. 90% of what was collected was given back to Canadians to make meeting their goals easier themselves. Surely, you'd rather have Canadians deciding how best to do that wouldn't you?

First of all though it needs informed citizens who can be trusted to tell shit from shinola If people need a reminder about the importance of critical thinking I'm sure the CBC could include something like a subtle disclaimer that assumes that's occurring. It would be up to you to figure out what that means. Meh... I've gotten pissed off at softball off point questions and news stories about fishing issues important to me on occassion. Once I was baited by a cbc interviewer digging for controversy to include in his story. It was obvious and I was able to stay on script. I didn't see too many other news outlets doing a better or worse job to cover things. You had to go look for them.

You want appeasement. Amongst others. It's probably too much to hope for but it would be really sweet to see a few Ukranian flags in Congress tomorrow - in solidarity with righteousness, conviction and courage.

Trump's the raging bull elephant here - who's lost his shit and gone rogue.

So is this place to human beings. But yeah, sure looks like plenty of room all right.

Thankfully NATO has nuclear weapons.

Social justice in the sense of the original meaning of the term woke - awareness of social injustice. And socioeconomic injustice in the sense of what Jesus would do, not Marx. Please go flush out your bullshit filter and get a grip...FFS.

That was also true of Palestinians a 100 years ago. But then Zionist terror groups attacked them. There were also plenty of Jews living peacefully in Palestine and Zionists attacked them too. Nothing when they feel the same way. I get it that you don't like the idea of an internationally forced cooling off period. So...if you think the status quo is preferable it is what it is. Good luck.

Putin, Trump and you you silly dingbat. Trudeau is with the good guys. Haven't you been following the news? North Koreans are dying alongside Trump's allies fighting for a better future for Putin, Trump and you and your kids. That is what you want isn't it?

Well, Putin and Kim's stooge says tariffs go into effect tonight. Trump wouldn't tell a lie would he? His base expects promises made promises kept. This is what MAGA voted for...sticking it to the libbies.

How does he like being allied with North Korea? That comes with the package after all. And how far from the tree did the apple fall?

Why? You could see where things were headed years ago when this photo came out.

Not me. I'll take the negotiation and cooperation that minorities force on Parliament 7 days a week and twice on Sunday thanks. It's the only alternative to FPTP we have. Maybe during the next minority government the NDP could get rid of Daylight Savings Time. That would be as huge as dentalcare AFAIC.

Pat Robertson once described heaven as being like Sunday school that went on for eternity. I couldn't stand Sunday school. My parents only tried to make go because some of their parents said they should. Except Nana, she gave me her science fiction books when she was finished with them.

No, it's the news that's affected Poilievre's moderate supporters. The polls are showing they're having second thoughts about sharing the Conservative Big Tent with the Freaker's Ball of COVID authoritarianism nuts, climate change-is-a-hoax quacks, MSM conspiracy goofs, and now MAGA Canadians who apparently think joining the likes of North Korea in our alignment with Trump's Axis is a good idea. I can't wait to see how much more damage to the right wing brand and vision for the future that Trump will cause during his speech to Congress tomorrow. Should make for some good TV!

You mentioned trying to bring down an elephant earlier....one big elephant in the case of the jobs coming back, will be standards. Like many that currently protect the environment from the effects of producing steel, aluminum and timber. Unleashing them will not be without an environmental cost. There will also be a social and political cost from having to usurp state environmental protection standards and push aside concerns of communities on the ground whose lives will be impacted by unleashing.

Drop social justice? Like I said the CBC made the relative merits of the concept of being Canadian obvious, and AFAIC social justice is very near the top of a list of these merits.

Oh yeah, the world is very sharply dividing between two competing visions for the world, right or left, conservative or progressive. If you're with one you're not with the other. It's not his policies it's his attitudes as demonstrated by his use of the same sort rhetoric towards everything his supporters loath. He never strays to far from the outskirts of Crazyville.

Hey, you know full well I have little regard for the lack of transparency at the level that CEO's and Cabinet Ministers exist. That's an entirely different topic however. If it's come to the point the only way to address this is to shut down our institutions then so be it I guess.

I'm aware of it. I've had to post links to him myself when pointing out his concern to deniers. The reason I don't believe him is because of the numbers of his supporters I've talked to who simply don't give a shit. Pretty much if he's implying his plan is a good alternative to the existing tax. What makes people think the same costs won't be passed on to us under PP's plan? Millions of ordinary Canadians care. You cared but you gave up. It looks like you gave up giving a shit about virtue signalling too.

PP's use of standard right wing tropes about the MSM, lefties/Marxists, woke etc etc plus other obvious things such as little to no regard for climate change aren't just little peccadilloes that will be easily overlooked.

Why would anyone acknowledge the credibility of anyone who subscribes to 9/11 conspiracy theories? Yeah, that is like asking you when you stopped beating your wife but sometimes it really is what it really is.

More to the point Trump doesn't give a shit one way or the other and everyone knows his disapproval means as little as his endorsement until one or the other benefits him. Take Vance for example. Vance, another so-called never-Trumper, is who we should really be comparing Poilievre to - an ambitious lickspittle if there ever was one.

Sure, you'll go as far as saying PMs can commit murder and the only thing we can do about it is mark a ballot with an x. That's no excuse for maintaining bad things. And I'd expect nothing less than twenty pages of long winded arguments from you advocating doing just that. Except for, you know, an occasional x. LMAO!
