Bytown Blackie’s Star: Conservative Messaging is more effective at attracting donations than Trudeau’s so we need to put the government in charge of party financing

An editorial from Bytown Blackie and Katie Telford.

If Justin Trudeau wants to curb extremism in politics, he should start here

As Justin Trudeau prepares his cabinet ministers’ marching orders, he should consider putting a new item on the list — resurrecting the per-vote subsidy for federal political parties.

Currently, parties are financially dependent on donors, who are often moved to give in response to emotional messaging. That’s why the parties focus on identity politics — why we hear so much about abortion rights, gun laws and “Liberal censorship.” It’s why we see fundraising notes from the Conservatives warning “Canada’s democracy is in danger.”

… Changing the way parties are financed by adopting a per-vote subsidy — and reducing contribution limits for political donations — could be part of the solution.

Nearly 60 per cent of Canadian parents fear for their child’s financial future: survey

A new survey conducted by TD Bank Group shows that nearly 60 per cent of Canadian parents are concerned about their children’s financial future, primarily due to the impact of inflation and the prevailing economic uncertainties in the country.

According to the survey published on Wednesday, an overwhelming majority of surveyed parents (89 per cent) believe that their confidence in their children’s financial future would improve if their kids gained better financial knowledge before their teenage years.

The survey also found that 66 per cent of parents are not highly confident in their children’s current financial knowledge.

Concern is what parents do but we do not live in ordinary times.

Our government is run by sanctimonius idiots who believe destroying the wealth of our nation will bend the planet to their will.

Our education system is overrun by perverts and no longer fit for purpose.

Few can afford rent let alone dream of purchasing a home yet the political class insist mass immigration is the answer to all ills.

It isn’t, it is the ill.

Majority of Canadians Oppose Government Funding of Newsrooms, Media Outlets: Poll

The majority of Canadians oppose government funding of media organizations and newsrooms, and most want the consolidation of news outlets discouraged in order to maintain healthy competition in the industry, according to a new Angus Reid survey.

A July 13 news release from the polling company says that two possible solutions to declining newsroom revenues, a reduced workforce of journalists, and fewer readers have been rejected by Canadian poll respondents.

Jamie Sarkonak: Poilievre, Smith don’t owe apologies for ‘straight pride’ photos

Listen up, straights: Pride isn’t for you.

And no, after a month of the entire government-corporate apparatus applauding those for having non-straight sexual orientations and niche gender identities, you can’t say “straight pride.” These are just the rules. And no, conservative politicians aren’t going to stand with you on this.

Canada’s secret service is fighting a hidden civil war

The smart money is on the spooks. They have the public on their side

The Canada of our allies’ imagination is a peaceable land of winter, hockey and exquisite politeness. The winter and the hockey haven’t changed. But peaceable and polite? Not since the civil war broke out.

This civil war doesn’t pit Quebec nationalists against English Canada, but centres instead on China. The two sides are a political elite that yearns for the days when China was an economic opportunity, and a national security community aware of Beijing’s ambition to deindustrialize the West economically and neuter it geostrategically.

Colby Cosh: CBC’s damning retraction of an unsubstantiated non-scandal in Alberta

CBC News cried “uncle” yesterday in its long-running quarrel with Alberta premier Danielle Smith, as you may have read in your National Post . In January, a story from the network claimed that some member of the new premier’s staff had sent emails directly to Crown prosecutors ordering them to let up on COVID rulebreakers. This created a nasty suspicion that the premier’s office was interfering directly in individual criminal prosecutions, and it rightly led to an investigation by the province’s ethics commissioner, Marguerite Trussler. In the meantime, the CBC stood stubbornly behind its story.

Nearly 80 Canadian Media Outlets Have Closed Since 2020 Despite Federal Subsidies

Nearly 80 Canadian news outlets have closed since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 despite the federal government previously introducing $595 million in media subsidies intended to support the sector, according to an internal briefing note.

“Since the beginning of the pandemic 78 news outlets closed including 65 community newspapers,” said a briefing note prepared in March for Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez and obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.

America’s far right is operating in Canada. Why don’t we consider that foreign interference?

Canada is almost certainly headed toward some kind of inquiry into foreign interference in its democracy.

But if its focus is solely on China or Russia and other state actors, it won’t be tackling the potentially far more troubling forces that proved so disruptive to Canada during last year’s convoy protest.

Is the country ready to take that dark dive into foreign interference — the non-China variety?

Blackie’s Star: Majority Of Poorly Informed People Surveyed Support Trudeau’s Burgeoning VW & Stellantis Folly

Three-quarters of Canadians are in favour of hefty government subsidies to Stellantis and Volkswagen, a new poll suggests.

… Only 21 per cent of respondents said they were “familiar” with the issue, while 39 per cent had not “heard about it before today” and 40 per cent had “heard about it” but were unfamiliar with the specifics.

… Using online panels based on the Lucid exchange platform, Abacus surveyed 2,000 people between June 6 and 11.

Talk about polishing a Turdeau.

Liberals’ convention pitch to fight online disinformation denounced as assault on free press

Without debate, Liberal Party members passed a policy resolution to combat online disinformation this weekend that critics warn could give the government control over Canadian media outlets.

The resolution calls for the Liberals to “explore options to hold online information services accountable for the veracity of material published on their platforms, and to limit publication only to material whose sources can be traced.”

“It’s deeply troubling this was sort of waved through at the Liberal convention,” said University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist.

Government Media Bailout Didn’t Work: Department of Canadian Heritage

Despite the federal government providing a $595 million bailout to the media industry four years ago, news corporations have seen a continuous decline, according to the Department of Canadian Heritage.

The Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications heard testimony from associate assistant deputy heritage minister Thomas Ripley on April 25 as part of the discussion on Bill 18, the Online News Act.

Adam Zivo: The CBC has a unique obligation to be neutral, which it is failing

Recent debate about defunding the CBC often misses an important distinction — the problem isn’t that the CBC has a partisan bias per se, it’s that the organization has this bias while being a state broadcaster.

It’s natural, indeed beneficial, for news organizations to have political biases of some sort. A democratic society thrives when it maintains a vibrant marketplace of ideas, and that marketplace is healthiest when different ideological groups are represented, and empowered, by affiliated media outlets.

Conservatives hatred of Trudeau’s lackey media is damaging their brand says lackey at Blackie’s Star

Conservatives hatred of journalism is damaging their brand

Conservatives get confused when they see a media attack on one politician as proof of partisan loyalty to another.

The first conservative to destroy his party through a hatred of journalists was, of course, Richard Nixon. The next was Donald Trump, who has delivered three defeats since his razor thin single victory, all the while ranting his denunciation of “fake news” media.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre appears to be genuine in his contempt for many Canadian journalists. Former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper always appeared more theatrical in his, given how close he was to journalists before he won power. This hatred is, of course, dangerous for democracy, but it is also damaging the Canadian Conservatives’ brand.

Government funded media outlet lashes out after barbarian conservatives speak ill of another notoriously biased government funded media outlet CBC

Pierre Poilievre’s solution for a ‘broken’ Canada is to break more things — including the CBC

Pierre Poilievre appears to have divided this country into two nations. There’s the Canada that Justin Trudeau broke, and then there is the Canada that the Conservative leader himself wants to break.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation definitely falls into the want-to-break category. As Trudeau put it on Monday, Poilievre despises the CBC so much that he’s willing to join forces with Twitter’s mercurial new owner, Elon Musk.

“The fact that he has to run to American billionaires for support to attack Canadians says a lot about Mr. Poilievre and his values,” Trudeau said at a morning press conference.

Spoken by a tone deaf idiot whose circle line their pockets courtesy Communist China’s “Billionaires.”
