If you wouldn’t rob your neighbour at gun-point to fund the causes you believe in, you shouldn’t ask your government to do it on your behalf.

Misrepresenting the policy isn’t going to help,
@CBC
. The page you linked says that “government-funded media is defined as outlets where the government provides some or all of the outlet’s funding and may…”
Is it seriously too much to ask that journalists know what “may” means?

Trudeau’s whole political brand is pitting Canadians against each other to divide and conquer. It didn’t start with him… but he’s taking it to a new level. Changing the Prime Minister isn’t enough: we need to change the system and make sure the last six years can’t be repeated.

The debate about whether masking was effective can obscure the larger point: even if it was effective, kids were at such low risk that it would have been just as absurd.

Galen could put the whole $12 million a year towards lowering prices and prices would indeed go down… by a fraction of a cent. The hard truth is that inflation is driven by governments and central banks, not companies.

The government is focusing on arguing the Emergencies Act worked to clear the protest, not that it was legal. Add Singh saying that he’ll continue to support the government regardless and the thinking is clear: Trudeau is expecting to lose at the inquiry.

Milei’s de-regulatory correction is severe, necessary — and decades late.

Don’t buy into the statist delusion that governments build houses.

The intelligence service said there was no risk to the security of Canada, the government chose to invoke the Emergencies Act anyway and the commission bent over backwards to rubber stamp the abuse ex post facto. No government can be trusted with that power.
