Peter Menzies- It’s only a matter of time before the government attaches strings to mainstream media subsidies
The CRTC now has authority over all video and audio content posted digitally through the Online Streaming Act, and while it has not yet applied CRTC-approved CBSC standards to it, it’s probably only a matter of time before it does.
The very second that someone in “media” accepts government money, they are no longer independent and believable.
Apart from the Sun chain and National Post (mostly) none of the libscum media was ever “independent and believable”. Even before pouf PM juthtin bought them off.
Marxists, anti-free speech supporting collectivists, all of them. And the Communist BS Craphole? I hold it against Harper for not defunding that evil Pravda clone.

The US military still owns and controls the internet through DNS servers and military patents of the http protocols. I believe President Trump should shut down the internet for all fascist countries who behave like this. The internet is a gift to the world from the American taxpayer. Canada can invent and use its own internet and do whatever it likes, but when you misuse our gift…well…
That is not even remotely how any part of the Internet works.
Control of ICANN was transferred to “Global Stakeholders” in the private sector way back in 2016, under Obama, as part of a process started by Clinton in 1998.
Also, http came out of CERN, which is not a project of DARPA
Want to see what happens to a Canadian media schmuck who gets all high and mighty about the state of affairs in the U.S? You get noticed by Mike Cernovich…that’s what.
Rock ribbed Conservative Jon Kay :
“this was true of many Canadians’ anti-American attitudes until about a decade ago. It’s not really true anymore. The US is now so politically & socially dysfunctional that a lot of us (including Cdn centrists & conservatives) now regard the US with disdain & something like pity”
Cernovich:
“You can’t own guns, can’t hike, need a vaccine passport to leave the country, Canada is a pathetic country and people like you, willing to live like slaves, cope with your cowardice by adopting a false snobbery. It fools no one here.”
Yowch!!
Why was Cernovich being so polite and nice about it?
Coup de grace : That’s fine. Stay in Canada. Stay inside like a nice safe little bubble boy, since you can’t hike or own guns.
We don’t want your kind here. Do us a favor. Take Jordan Peterson back.
Weak-willed profiteers who use my country as a piggy bank don’t belong.
“…and while it has not yet applied CRTC-approved CBSC standards to it…”
I’d say good luck with that, but every week there’s a new story about some soccer mom or working dad in England getting arrested for a tweet. So they’ll probably have a go.
And then the bouncy-houses will come back to Ottawa, and we will see how it’s all going to go.
The number one difference between the Kanadian serfs and the former residents of the Soviet Union is: Former Soviet residents knew they were being lied to. Kanadian serfs eat all the BS served up by the legacy media.
One of my brothers is retarded.
He recently complained to me that he wasn’t getting his newspapers delivered soon enough in the morning. The TO Star and the Ottawa Citizen (The G&M and the NYTimes on the weekend).
My God…
Then later on during the lunch he started to tell me how great it was that Poilievre faced 90+ candidates.
The Standards people, just like the CBC, the RCMP, the Judiciary, Elections Canada…are all arms of the Liberal Octopus.
Hail Fcking Hydra.
Canada exists to keep Liberals in power to keep their gravy train running to keep the tax slaves in line.
You can choose your friends, but you don’t *really* get to choose your family.
my parent’s family is similar, Liberal/NDP mostly and multiple jabbed, my family is whatever the opposite of that is, and 100% unjabbed etc…
I believe President Trump mentioned something about censoring the people to the commies in england and the e.u. ………F.A.F.O.
To take a page out of the chants of the left wing…..”This is what fascism looks like”.
And to think if Harper had had the courage to dissolve the CRTC perhaps he would have been re-elected. Interesting…that lack of courage by “conservatives”.
Not interesting, pathetic.
Most Canadians reaction to adversity is to cower in fear and wait for a representative from the government to help them out.
All the good genes died in the world wars, and look at europe now, more’s the pity, knowing what we know now, should have just said fuck ’em..
By listening to the MSM, the strings were already attached.
