Not Watching For The Asteroid – small dead animals

Normally when a few dozen people show up on Parliament Hill to protest this, that or the other thing, news editors can’t be bothered to cover it, let alone play it up as a top news story. But when it’s a small group of environmental extremists—between 200 and 500 according to conflicting reports—protesting a U.S.-bound pipeline that could deliver billions of barrels of ethical oil to American markets? That’s top news, according to the CBC, the Globe and Mail, and the Toronto Star, among others.

Hmmmm…….yet the annual pro-life rally held at parliament hill every year gets almost no coverage. I guess if it doesn’t fall into the leftist agenda then it isn’t worth mentioning.

Hmmmm…….yet the annual pro-life rally held at parliament hill every year (where thousands of people show up) gets almost no coverage. I guess if it doesn’t fall into the leftist agenda then it isn’t worth mentioning.

If it doesn’t devalue human life, it won’t meet the basic requirements of the lefts agenda.

I went to bigger piss-ups in my partying camping years back in the 70’s. Mike lite Hudema can still get lots of face time on CFR radio so it is To based this SCAM of the week.

The CBC and CTV coverage is such that if the rally is in opposition to a government policy or a topic the government agrees with…lots of coverage for the “story of the day”. If the rally is in support of the government…nada. I see this all the time. Does a rally supporting our troops get coverage..haven’t seen any lately.

As someone said in the previous post the camera angles of the CBC pictures on the parliament hill are selected to give the impression that there are massive crowds of people.
The panorama picture shows how few people are actually there. Maybe less than 300.
Perhaps if number of posters would look at the picture an take a wild guess by the first impression.
It would be interesting to see what and how people think.

From the CBC site, the tightly cropped photos left out a LOT of SPACE for the protestors to …ummm…..protest in.

The largest protest recorded on parliament hill was in 1994 where 15000 firearms owners rallied in opposition to the liberal duck gun registry bill. It was downplayed by CBC and CTV where their attendance estimates were off by several thousand according to rally organizers talking to the Sun.
The second largest protest that I’m aware of was the pro-life rally where 10000 plus showed up. Both of these watershed events went down the consensus media memory hole.
Just yesterday I heard some CBC talking head state the largest protest ever on the hill was to protest against the Afghan war with a couple of thousand protesters.
The bias in Canadian media must be the envy of despots everywhere.

CBC Pravda, Red Star, and the Glove and Pail have an axe to grind with Alberta, which they consider to be the heartland of conservatism. Anything – a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g – that can possibly undercut Alberta’s economic strength and position and influence is worth publicizing, no matter how far fetched and ridiculous. Rabid environmentalism is just the latest battering ram, feeble though it be.

Point and laugh, my friends. Point and laugh.

Ethics, being ethical isn’t part of their agenda, they don’t even know the meaning of it. In fact they’re a complete sham.
If so called environmentalists really cared about the environment they’d be protesting the tearing up of railroad tracks and show concern for the birds being killed by freaking wind turbines.

Yeah ain’t it funny Mexico city, India, or China is NEVER mentioned . Only The west is the villain here by these kooks. Of course we know they get paid off not to talk about them. Besides its only Western folks who pollute in their small pea sized brains.
Just like folks here who are white can only be true bigots.
This is about destroying Western industrial infrastructure by our enemies these tools represent.
They are harbingers of lies.

ever since ditching the cable (fees) and going to over-the-air TV (free HD!) my time is better spent not watching CBC/CTV news
mansbridge in HD? yipes!

What Robert L said.
CBC, ect should stop inflating or deflating the numbers of any event as an inquiring mind will just prove them wrong eventually.
This anti-oil event was so poorly attended that is shouldn’t even have merited thirty seconds of air time on a slow news day.

There was no inflation of numbers by the CBC. They were counting the media as part of the protest.

Hey, give the msm a break, eh. Do you know how hard it is to cover a crowd of 100 people without getting the 200+ media in the picture?

The Calgary Herald had front page coverage on the protest in Calgary. It was reported that a handful of protesters showed up in the am and a larger number showed up for a later protest. The larger number?? TWENTY FOUR. Front page news? Really?
