Never invade Russia in the winter. Never fight a land war in Asia. Never go for a third term as Prime Minister in Canada. It makes the electorate hate you. I don’t complain much about his policies, but Trudeau is screwing his own party over and now we might end up with the Trumpiest of Canadian politicians as PM.

    Homie wants to defund the CBC so we can get closer to a corporate-owned state. Because we obviously need media to be further dominated by wealth.

    Sure, “both sides” or whatever, but let’s not downplay just how fucking awful Pollievre is.

      All three of our major political parties are neo-libs. There is no “both sides” because only one side is represented in politics in this country.

      I shed no tears for the CBC. A single media outlet controlled by whatever political party is currently in power being sold off isn’t anything to cry about. Instead of 99% of our news outlets being corporate-owned, 100% will be. The CBC exists to make money, and has been that way since they started displaying ads next to content already paid for by the Canadian taxpayer.

        The CBC is independent of the the party in power, that’s why Harper wanted to get rid of them (and Pierre)

        But it’s the only non-biased source we have

        I see here you don’t understand how the CBC is set up.

        If you want the CBC to not show ads then your should be in favor of properly funding it instead of wanting to privatize it.

        If you want to live in the US that badly, all you have to do is head south, y’know.
