Matt Taibbi, Douglas Murray Dominate Trust-in-Media Debate – Trucker Convoy featured prominently

Toronto — Conservative commentator Douglas Murray and veteran reporter Matt Taibbi soundly defeated their opponents in a Wednesday evening debate on the question of whether to trust the mainstream media, convincing a significant segment of the audience to abandon their faith in an institution they say is hopelessly compromised by bias.

… The Canadian trucker protests featured prominently in the debate. During Murray’s opening remarks, the British commentator and fellow National Review contributor, laid into Prime Minister Trudeau and Canadian media outlets for failing to challenge the government-approved narrative that the protests were organized by bigots of various stripes.

“The Canadian mainstream media acted as an amen chorus of the Canadian government,” Murray argued. “Now why is this is rancid? So utterly, utterly, rancid and corrupt? Because in this country your media–your mainstream media–is funded by the government.”

Mendicino’s Spokesperson Was ‘Encouraging’ Journalists to Find Dirt on Convoy Protesters, Text Messages Reveal

According to text message exchanges summitted to the Emergencies Act inquiry, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino’s communications director was “encouraging” journalists to investigate who the convoy protesters were before their arrival and where their crowd-sourced funds came from, apparently without knowing if there were any particular concerns to be unearthed.

49% believe Trudeau’s immigration plan will admit too many immigrants to Canada – Leger Poll

CANADIAN POLITICS: IMMIGRATION AND THE CARBON TAX

  • 49% of Canadians think the Government of Canada’s immigration plan will admit too many immigrants to Canada.
  • 75% of Canadians are concerned the immigration plan will result in excessive demand for housing and health and social services.
  • 77% of Canadians agree the carbon tax on gasoline, diesel and home heating fuels should be frozen until high inflation passes.

You can read the report here and the brief here.

This contradicts the bullshit polls put out by our scumbag corporate class suggesting Canadians just love the notion we need 100 million immigrants.

They lie because they are evil.

Sycophants At CBC Laud Trudeau’s Latest Waste Of Money As If It’s Coming Out Of His Own Pocket & Not Taxpayers

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled a slew of funding announcements in Cambodia on Saturday aimed at deepening economic and academic ties with Southeast Asia, after decades of sporadic engagement with the region.

“This is a generational shift,” Trudeau told leaders gathered in Phnom Penh for a summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

“I am announcing concrete investments that are part of our commitment to this relationship,” he said, before listing $333 million in new funding.

What an awful state of affairs, we are held hostage by a despised man-child and his equally hated errand boy.

Freeland Lies and Lies and Lies

Emergencies Act should be ‘once-in-a-generation’ kind of tool: Freeland

Canada’s invocation of the Emergencies Act should be a “once-in-a-generation” move, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland told reporters on Wednesday.

… “What Canada faced at just the beginning of this year, actually, was a very serious challenge and threat to our national security and our economic security,” Freeland said.

What horseshit. The Convoy was never a “National Security Threat” and the border blockades had a marginal effect on commerce.

OPP saw no evidence Freedom Convoy posed direct threat to national security: intelligence officer

The economic nightmare that wasn’t? Border blockades had little effect on trade, data reveals

Hail Mary By Justin’s Journos – Let’s run with that “Foreign ‘adversaries’ may have leveraged ‘freedom movement’ to ‘advance agendas’ angle … again

Unnamed foreign “adversaries” may have leveraged the Canadian “freedom movement” protests to advance their own interests, a newly-disclosed intelligence report suggest.

According to previously secret assessments by the Ontario Provincial Police’s (OPP) intelligence branch, the “available information” on Feb. 19 suggested that foreign actors may have pushed support for the movement, which fueled the convoy blockades in Ottawa and across the country, “to protect or enhance their own strategic economic and political interests.”

Again? First they did then they didn’t, now they did! Anything for Justin!

OPP Intelligence Head Concerned With False Allegations of Extremism made by Politicians, Media Against Convoy Protesters

“So when I read accounts that the state of Russia had something to do with it, or that this was a result of American influence, either financially or ideologically, or that Donald Trump was behind it, or that it was un-Canadian, or that the people participating were un-Canadian and that they were not Canadian views and they were extremists, I found it to be problematic.”

Wow an honest public servant. Compare and contrast with Justin, the CBC and the rest of those frauds.

Canadian MPs across the spectrum see threats to democracy: ‘There’s no common middle ground’

 

OTTAWA — In a troubled world, Canadian democracy endures. But some sitting members of Parliament are worried — for various reasons — that it is getting weaker.

Ryan Turnbull is one of them. The Liberal MP for Whitby was first elected in 2019, and sees the problem through the lens of his education in philosophy: the ideal of democracy allows for public debate on a common ground of fact and reality, but Turnbull believes persistent misinformation and its self-serving weaponization by some politicians is threatening this shared basis for a functioning public discourse.

Mostly this is LPC, NDP and Elizabeth May griping about the scary convoy and such. The Star’s is gonna need a bigger fainting couch.

CBC Has Nervous Breakdown! Convoy donors gave more than $460K to CPC leadership race — and many were first-time federal donors

Canadians who donated to the Ottawa convoy protest contributed more than $460,000 to Conservative leadership candidates — and many of them were donating to a federal political party for the first time — an analysis by CBC News shows.

A comparison of donations to Conservative leadership contenders up to Aug. 1 with the GiveSendGo crowdfunding campaign for the convoy protest found over 3,100 people who contributed to both campaigns, based on identical combinations of names and postal codes.

The lion’s share of convoy donors’ leadership campaign donations went to Pierre Poilievre’s campaign.

OMG! Convoy supporters donated! And many were 1st time donors! That must be against the law!

Blackie’s Star: Only Crazy People Disagree With Us

Surging angry, dangerous Canadians have no arguments, so they can’t be argued away

Anger stalks the land, and Canada is finally talking about it. You could blame the pandemic, but as with just about everything, the pandemic exacerbated existing conditions. The seeds were already in the ground.

But we need to remember something: a great deal of the current anger in this country is based on grievances that aren’t real. We can glaze over the use of “conspiracy theories” or “misinformation” as a catch-all descriptor, but we’re talking about people being angry over largely imaginary problems. A lot of it isn’t based in the real world at all.

It’s all in your head!

The coming confrontation over government intervention in the media

Summer is nearly at an end. Parliament is about to resume. The Conservatives are about to elect a new leader. And our politics are about to enter a period of sharper definition, with clearer differences between the two main parties. Nowhere is this more true, seemingly, than over the issue of government involvement in the media: broadcast, print and internet-based.

Canadian politics has a rage problem — and politicians have to be part of the solution

On a June day nearly 40 years ago, Brian Mulroney happened upon a 63-year-old woman named Solange Denis. Mulroney’s government was proposing to make a change to Old Age Security. Denis was mad about that and — with reporters watching — she conveyed her displeasure directly to the prime minister.

Mulroney’s run-in with Denis became a national story. The government was compelled to back down and “Goodbye Charlie Brown” subsequently became shorthand for how a single interaction with a voter can waylay a politician and a government.

What happened to Chrystia Freeland in Grande Prairie, Alberta last week was something else entirely — and many political leaders, from across the partisan spectrum, seemed to recognize that immediately. Among those who condemned the incident were Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford, two politicians who have had their differences with the federal Liberal government.

The nerve of the CBC publishing this tripe. The anger at the Trudeau Liberals is justified.
