Nobody but old boomers watch TV news anymore (no offense folks! ?), and even then it's not like you can go back and prove whether they reported these issues there.

Nope. I see the media for what it actually is - corporately owned with an editorial bias that should be accounted for. There's no news media in the world that reports in an unbiased way. Some are far worse than others, but that really doesn't matter to all the circus clowns on this forum. When you're proposing Rebel Media or TNC as better alternatives, that's freaking cringe. You're not looking for unbiased news. You're looking for bullshit peddlers to repeat your views back to you - the alternative facts if you will. It doesn't matter that when the fact checkers and media bias monitors weigh in against you either. They're just another part of the system, maaaan.

My god dude. Calm down and grow up. It wasn't an excuse for anything. Eyeball is asking West if he thinks CTV is making up the drug problem.

They had one small budget surplus at the end, with six years of large deficits before that. Yeeehaw. The path of budget deficits. I don't like it any more than you do. Nothing dishonest about that, but if you want to huff and pound at your keyboard go ahead.

Why do you think social media posts are relevant to this discussion? ? Again, what false news? They reported an investigation into links to the truckers, and found none. At best you've demonstrated an editorial bias, which every news source has, but they even corrected yourself. This is pretty boring stuff.

No, I'm not. You're just having some make-believe issues, again. So far we have 25% accounted for. Now we have ice-carving competitions for Canadian Heritage, which accounts for 50% combined now. Now another $120,000 to promote Export Development Canada - So now we have 70% accounted for. $46,000 went to the Canadian Mint (so getting close to 80% total now. The other 20% isn't really described by Truenorth, but all of the above was apparently to sing Trudeau's praises...in the form of promoting vaccines, ice carving, export development and the Canadian Mint. For the amount of time the jokers spend complaining about the MSM on this forum, it's hilarious that you post a hot-take trashcan article like this as if it's actual journalism.

I think identity politics are a lazy heuristic for people who can't articulate their thoughts or debate reasonably. Sorry bud, but just saying that doesn't make it true. When you rail about dictatorships you're being hyperbolic as you could be.

I never did that. Who was this again?

Because you don't really have any reason to ask. The tendency to draw imaginary links between events and the "current thing you support" is what distinguishes from the more reasonable folk in the world. He MAY have been given kick-backs from the government in the same way he may have received them from the CCP or the Russians. That the possibility technically exists isn't cause to actually suspect or question it.

Not surprising. Like I said before I've mostly supported the Conservatives my entire life. If I'm going to get screwed by the public sector or by corporations, I'll usually choose the corporations. Why? Because raising corporate tax rates or introducing new competition laws or regulations is relatively easy. Once a new public sector union contract is set, however, that's the new baseline. You can't go back anymore. Where you and I disagree is on identity politics, ideology and hyperbole.

Hardcore identity politics - a clear sign of interrigence.

As usual, you mischaracterize the sentiment and dumb it down to absurdity, but let's look at it anyways. The Conservatives aren't really the party of the "rich". https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/election-insights-why-rich-canadians-are-all-in-for-the-liberals That may have been true 10-15 years ago, it's not really true anymore. We've not really had a fiscally conservative government since the Chretien Liberals in Canada. Harper started off on the right track and then went off the rails during the financial crisis and then just never stopped spending after we'd recovered. Trudeau and the "leftists" have carried on the same path, though it's likely getting worse. Pick your poison. The Liberals and NDP cozy up to unions and we get screwed over by our grossly overpaid public sector, or the Conservatives screw us over by letting the telecoms and banks etc do what they please to us . Neither party has been looking out for the middle-class private sector worker for a long, long time, and that's true provincially and federally.

Nevermind that the Toronto Sun is...mainstream news, here's a few more: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-trudeau-european-parliament-criticism-speeches/ https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/european-mps-blast-pm-trudeau-for-handling-of-freedom-convoy-after-brussels-speech-1.5833652 https://nationalpost.com/news/world/european-mps-denounce-trudeaus-handling-of-convoy-protest-in-surreal-speech Gosh is that CTV in there? IT CANNOT BE TRUE! Criticizing him for the Emergencies Act is all well and good, and it does sort of feel good seeing him taken down a notch, but some of the comments are pretty...dumb. "Worst kind of dictator"...yeaaah okay.

No. You haven't. That's why I keep asking. If you had it, you'd post it. You don't. You provide worthless anecdotes nothing at all, or you post garbage links directing people to french-language facebook profiles, video clips you misquote, or Pfizer documents you comically misinterpret. The reason is that you're not actually doing this research yourself. You're just reposting the imbecilic hot-takes you trawl off the garbage web and trip over yourself trying to make sense of them when someone questions them after the fact. My days are fine, thanks Karen. I don't need to waste my time on goof websites looking for things to rage about. ?

That's the point. If you have evidence to suggest the government gave him money, then show us, otherwise why would you say we should be asking these questions?

You say a lot of dumb stuff and mention a lot of silly nonsense. If you have some actual material/evidence/proof/references that support what you're saying, let's see it. I mock your vapid nattering because you're generally just making it all up. If you can support your conclusions, show us. Stop pretending that you can. Do it.

Why would you ask that though? Is there any reason to? You can ask whatever questions you want, really, but that's not an actual query. That's a vague accusation pretending to be a question. How do you figure he's profiting from it? While you're at it, why don't you ask him if he: 1) Participates in underground dogfighting rings 2) Has received funding from the Mafia 3) Has been infiltrated by Klaus Schwab's WEF If we're just going on a fishing expedition here?

Post it. Let's see what he has to say. I'm always willing to take a look. I don't know anything about blacklock and have never heard of them before the last day or two.

No surprise here. You don't want to talk about them or actually go over any real numbers or claims, because you're not capable of backing up anything you say. That you of all people understand the data is a mighty convenient delusion. Thanks for the laugh! ?

I don't think anybody is. I don't think it's a surprise that a major union leader turns out to be a complete scum bag. For me this is like, "Yeah duh." What follow-up questions would you have them ask, exactly?

HAS to be

Show me. Let's see the doctors who are coming to the same conclusions. Your testimonials are as worthless as your reasoning. Show us. I'm asking you for proof of your claims. You showed the Pfizer document in the past and your brain exploded trying to understand the numbers. I'm happy to review again, we'll actually have to go over the data and get specific rather than talk about your fake doctor friends who all agree with you. ?

Yeah...honestly I can't really argue with that. he was pandering to like 80% of Canada's population. If the protests weren't so disruptive (especially at the Ambassador Bridge), he'd not have had public opinion on his side like he did. The Freedom Convoy went out of their way to make a nuisance of themselves. 3.5! Hurray...

The numbers you quoted make it crystal clear that you didn't understand any of it. There's no doubt here. 100% clueless.

Just don't think about it Michael. Turn your brain off, let the auto-pilot engage and then just repeat: "MSM woke totalitarian fascist communist green hoax something something WEF."
