Surely if you're going to post a link or you can cite a specific article or commentary if you're legitimately trying to deliver a coherent argument?

Argument? There is no argument that CBC is a left leaning rag that heavily censors any opinion they deem not helpful to the PM's agenda. I'm surprised you think it's something other than that.

The wrong person wanders into the wrong crowd and I think there will be violence. Perhaps deadly violence. Only violence I've heard of or seen has come from the anti-mask, anti-vax types. Do you have any idea how many service people have been harassed, been spit on, had things thrown at them? Next time you go into a store or restaurant, ask them. We ask, and virtually all of them have experienced harassment from some entitled snowflakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no argument that CBC is a left leaning rag that heavily censors any opinion they deem not helpful to the PM's agenda. I'm surprised you think it's something other than that. I'd agree that CBC is left-leaning and biased. It's why I don't pay it a moment's notice or read much of anything they have to say. The Toronto Star is even worse. There's a big difference between editorial bias and making shit up, however, so though I don't agree with a lot of the spin and opinions posted on these news sites, I don't automatically assume that everything they post is false. That's juvenile. The funniest part about the this whole red-herring is that you're paying more attention to CBC than anyone else here. Why exactly are we talking about the CBC anyways? I think if you want to complain about the merits (or rather lack thereof) of a politically biased news agency receiving billions of public funding, we could start another thread on that.

I looked up the average length of a tractor trailer and it is 21 metres. Double that to provide spacing and you would still need 1666 trucks to make 70 km.

Amazing Certainly not as amazing as the claims on here that unvaxed are about to be torn apart by angry mobs.

So you go around to stores, bars and restaurants and ask the staff about how many times they were attacked by the "unvaxxed"? Okay...sure. That's normal. And believable...heh. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing you have any legitimate complaint on here is whether there's any merit to a politically biased media outlet being propped up by tax money. On that, you'd have some sympathy for me.
