As someone from BC I have a question.
While Ford is undoubtedly and maybe the best embodiment of a greasy Conservative he’s also seemingly kept his nose rather clean to the crazy right wing stuff Rustad and Danielle Smith not only supports but can’t seem to stop talking about.
For example them are loud supporter of the Convoy stuff while Ford didn’t act when his provinces was one of the worst impacted ones along with his son in law being ass deep in that stuff.
It can be some of the news but not all the news.
I don’t believe there’s something magical about CBC where they couldn’t be contorted to favour whatever Conservatives want. In itself they’ve been trying make Trump and other Conservatives look sane for years now.
The only reason why Peirre wants them gone is because Postmedia does it for free. At least until whoever funds them decides otherwise.
Given the current news revenue models I don’t think it’s possible for large scale outlets to be anything but paid adverts in guise of the news. The Conservative mantra of deregulation is also going to make things worse.
Ultimately someone will need to come up with something that pays people to deliver accurate news.
Yes that’s what I was getting at.
It’s actually kinda amazing he seems to have never gotten into the whole “wokeism” thing Pierre and Rustad still peddles to this day as one of society’s greatest issues. Although I’m glad Pierre is to dumb to stfu with the idiotic rhetoric.
