The Carney liberal government is passing the exact laws that the fascists need to start their tyranny. It’s what Obama and Biden did in the US. Anyone remember how instead of vetoing bills which have the US broad powers to infinitely detain without trial anyone they accuse of terrorism he just issued a “signing statement” that he “wouldn’t use the powers”

We’re seeing Carney do a speedrun here.

In case anyone prefers reading and article to the podcast.

That’s the dream! But right now we have a two party system where one wants to get rid of the CBC immediately, and the other wants to suffocate it slowly and watch the light fade from its eyes.

That doesn’t even make sense. Once you’re immigrated to Canada you can just change provinces.

What if Newfoundland said “fuck it, we need people, everyone in” then they’re just Canadian immigrants who can live anywhere in Canada completely undermining more restrictive provinces and making a mockery of the system. Unless you’re suggesting immigrants should be second class citizens bound to their province of arrival like medieval serfs?!?!?

And provinces do have power to shape immigration programs, like Quebec has a special fast pass for French speakers. But nothing keeps you there.

I’m not saying the criticism isn’t valid. I just don’t understand the purpose of spreading it when if we really wanted media independent of American interference we should target the rules that allow Americans to own our media in the first place.

It’s like attacking immigrants for crime. Sure, it happens, but immigrants commit crimes at a fraction of the rate of Canadians so if someone cared about reducing crime, statistically they should logically want more immigrants not fewer.

Everytime someone attacks the CBC I’m immediately suspicious. In this case they’re attacking the CBC for being “too aligned with Americans” when most of our news and news media, especially print, is owned by Americans. Is this a criticism made by someone worried that our media is “too American” or is this typical hypocritical conservative attacks on the CBC because it’s one of the few networks they can’t control with money?

I think in this case the question answers itself.
