CBC, for all its faults is the only independent and truly Canadian media. The rest is not what most people think. Canadians are lobsters in a pot of boiling right wing propaganda. Canadian media is owned by 5 billionaires and a US (Trump MAGA) hedge fund. Billionaires being Thompson, Rogers, Shaw, Bitove and Peladeau who respectively own control: - Globe & Mail, Bell Media - Rogers media - Corus Entertainment - Toronto Star, and - Quebecer Media including Journal de Montreal These right wing monied interests collectively own 85% of all Canadian media, TV and Radio stations of any significance. PostMedia alone is a big part of that. Chatham Asset Management owns nearly two thirds of PostMedia. It also owns US media AMI / National Enquirer. The link from Chatham to Trump indirectly is David Pecker at AMI. So it’s a Trump MAGA aligned, CPC propaganda operation ever since Harper approved this years ago. Pecker used to be on the PostMedia board and is Trump’s media man. PostMedia is already playing a big role in Trump’s 51st play. Which seems to be Harper’s Christian (Church) Reform Party’s end game. Yet, even worse, algorithm driven social media are viral distributors of the “Canadian” and foreign media too! They’re owned by mega billionaires, including Zuckerberg and Musk, with combined wealth over half a trillion alone. These players are first order CPC owners, funders and propaganda operatives, beyond owning controlling interests in our media. Again, Canadians are lobsters in a pot of boiling right wing propaganda. None of this is centrist or liberal. Barely civil. It’s why CPC is railing about good government policies reigning (only some of) this in. Probably helps explain why we never get to the bottom of Poilievre’s failed security clearance. By the way, where is it? #Cdnpoli #CdnMedia #PierrePropaganda #PierrePoilievre #SecurityClearance #PierreIsBroken #CdnMediaIsBroken

Coming soon to Canada

My content is being restricted in the EU under the Digital Services Act - the very censorship act I’ve been warning about for years. Under the guise of "online safety" they put a search ban on my account and flagged my posts as sensitive/age restricted content. The EU hates free speech because it threatens their power.

Just renewed my #ICBC car insurance for a year, cost me all of $1477. That's $80 cheaper than last year, which was cheaper than the year before. Public auto insurance is a wonderful thing! Here's the 10-yr change in auto insurance costs by province from StatsCan. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

Quebec is scheduled to have an election next year. Have you been following at all?

Marx Carney tells reporters that the Industrial Carbon Tax will help leapfrog Canadian steel companies over their American and International competitors. WTF is he talking about? How can taxing our industry somehow make us more competitive? I thought Kamala Harris was the word salad master; turns out Carney is a master chef...

78 of 105 Senators are from eastern Canada. 27 are from the west. Job one for a new Conservative govt.; turn the Senate into a dinosaur museum.

How is it possible that a tube of steel that moves a product everyone on the planet uses in ever increasing quantities, whose revenue accounts for 20% of Canadian exports, and whose increasing capacity could lift 100,000's of Canadians out of poverty, became so controversial???

I don't understand why we are not getting Keystone XL going. The US wants it, industry is all for it and all we need is just the Canadian government to sit down and make it happen. One afternoon meeting could make this happen.

Today, PM Carney proudly announced money to restore the White Rock Pier. Except…that same pier was fully rebuilt in 2019 with insurance and provincial support. Already fixed, already paid for. Why are we funding it again?
