    Bell recieved government money. Bell is part of the group that rexeieved $600 million in government money that paid news companies. Look at their financials. CTV, Global News, every single newspaper in Canada, would not be what they are without government handing out cash.

    There are zero news organizations who got part of that $600 million who critcize Trudeau and criticize the Liberal party. So you are only reading government funded sources for news.

      I received a $400 cheque from the Alberta government one time. Feels good to be government funded!

      I don’t think that assertion is true, so I did some quick googling.

      For example PostMedia received 35 million in government funds in 2021 according to pressprogress

      Searching through Government of Canada Grants and Contributions you can find lots of public funds. here

      My two cents, if it very important we as a society publicly fund Canadian news organizations to help keep them, fair, balanced and, trustworthy as it can be from both sides of the spectrum.

        Why do people who talk about fair and balanced news never defend or support the existance of conservative media and use stunted childish name calling of libertarian views. For the record, there is no such thing as “far right” you mental case, unless you talking about taking power away from fovernment, eliminate all taxes, eliminate all regulations, eliminare government programs, shutdown government departments.

          Considering nobody said anything about the “far right” I can only conclude you’re not interested in listening to what people are actually saying and are just screaming from your soap box.

          Lol I’m so glad you’re not in a position to articulate policy directions on my behalf. Holy freaking god. Our education system. It just…failed you.

            I am aware of the legal right to publicly insult trans peole and publicly mock gay people, that is a protected right.

          I’m a little confused who you are talking to and the points you are trying to make.

          My statement was a rebuke of your assertion that only left leaning media gets public funds, of which I think I showed wasn’t true.

          For the record there is such a thing as the far-right just like there is such a thing as the far-left.

          It’s also amusing you complain about childish name calling and then proceed to do just that.

            Not worth talking to them. They’re either deliberately trolling or incapable of coherent thought, or both.

              I don’t engage with them often, and I’ll admit it can be frustrating. I’m making a conscious effort to connect with people who hold different ideas or worldviews, Like a new years resolution.

              They do have to “agree” to meet in reality though.

          Nazis never existed. Fascism is imaginary. You heard it here first!

            Fascism is an economic theory. Look at the translation of Nazi if you cannot read the full words in their original writing, it is on the extreme left.

      There isn’t a news outlet in Canada that isn’t government-subsidized in some shape or form by that measure. Even non-profits are, via direct tax exemptions, or tax exemptions given to their donors.
