The Adopt-A-Journalist pilot program was a resounding success. Now, it’s time to buy the rest of them off.
The government is doubling down on its support for the Canadian news sector by proposing to massively expand the Labour Journalism Tax Credit to include television and radio news. The announcement in yesterday’s Spring Economic Update didn’t garner much attention, but it will mean tens of millions of dollars for Bell, Rogers, Corus and other broadcasters. The tax credit is the most important support for those who meet the standard of being a Qualified Canadian Journalism Organization (QCJO) as it provides a 35 percent refundable tax credit up to $29,750 per employee. The government paid out roughly $71 million for just over 3,000 journalists in 2024, but that would likely double if coverage extends to television and radio news.
Purely coincidental that Rogers would announce their buyout offer to 50% of their un-unionized workforce in the past week.
Corus trading today at $0.035 … about half of what it was at 6 months ago
Saddam Hussein observed that it’s better to spend on journalists than on the military since the former get better results.

Can I read between the lines that the CBC gets more money too? Are they qualified journalists??
This country is so going down the toilet, all levels of government!
Well the good news for Canadians is your government is corrupt right out in the open so you don’t have to waste time and effort to uncover it. Now all you have to do is stop voting for it.
Voting won’t change a system that was rejected by the US 250 years ago
America is free from corruption.
Billions for Canada’s Liberal Parasite Class.
A 74 cent a month increase in OAS to buy off all the dumb boomers.
Government regulated home insurance increased 11%.
Government regulated car insurance increased 6%.
Property tax increased 7%.
Gas, heat, groceries etc……..only one direction.
Canada’s inflation rate is 1.2%?
Librano lies are too big and too numerous even for Canada’s Coverup Gang, err….. I mean Media.
That’s why you buy something you’ve owned for 159 years.
Ratchet inflation (or the “ratchet effect”) describes the economic phenomenon where prices rise rapidly during inflation but fail to decrease—or “stick”—when inflationary pressures subside. Named after a mechanic’s ratchet, this process moves only one way (upward), ensuring that high price levels become the new, permanent baseline.

It aint organic.
Close a pipeline here, an oil refinery there, literally tax everything that moves, grow that Government!
Add a little Libranoism………..
Government and inflation are closer than the Libranos and your tax dollars.
And both of them lie about it without compunction.
They Lie To Us, We Know They’re Lying, They Know We Know They’re Lying But They Keep Lying Anyway, and We Keep Pretending To Believe Them
Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
That’s the lie they keep repeating b/c if people truly understood THE ONLY REAL CAUSE OF INFLATION, people would oppose central banks.
Inflation is caused by PRINTING MONEY.
Period.
And that’s why “measures” to control the effect of what they purposely caused can’t work.
Isn’t it interesting that despite the devastating effects of this form of theft, we are always told inflation is way better than that scary thing we’ve NEVER experienced?
Deflation.
The corporate media are just another “NGO” on the take of the fascist regime of the LPC/CCP/UN/FN criminal enterprise, not unlike “Conservative” MPs for sale in terms of principles.
Although, it should be noted, and yelled from the rooftops, that today’s Canadians are an embarrassment to their ancestors and will be fervidly cursed by their descendants.
And why not?
To lose, nay giveaway, what was once the best country by far.
Without a fight, a cross word nor even a whimper.
Leaving a shithole for your lineage.
That a thoroughly dishonest Media prospers, even heartily partakes in the lies and thievery, with zero push back. Absolutely disgusting and embarrassing at the same time.
Canadians live on their knees and don’t even notice.
You can ignore reality but not its consequences, and the consequences are coming and will be fierce.
I feel your pain.
But you rage should be directed at those ancestors that took a pass when the 13 colonies decided to reject the form of government we retained.
So raise your elbows and sound out the narrative
Make Canada a Colony again
L – You can pray on your knees. But to live free, that requires you stand and fight. It always has.
Without a free press, free speech, freedom of association and freedom of peaceful assembly, there are no free and honest elections. Securing the service of the presstitutes was so successful, the Liberals were re-elected. P.M. Carney, holding the ring of power, announced a new, strategic relationship with the Communist Party of China. Canada is becoming part of China’s Belt and Road empire. Expanding the control of the presstitutes, along with censorship of the internet is to make P.M. Carney, in effect, the Emperor of the Chinese province of Canada.
No man controls the Ring of Power. The Ring of power controls him.
I have identified the fake info and provided a corrected version of the paragraph in question
“ Update didn’t garner much attention, but it will mean tens of millions of dollars for Bell, Rogers, Corus and other court scribes. The tax credit is the most important support for those who meet the standard of being a qualified fart catcher as it provides a 35 percent refundable tax credit up to $29,750 per employee
Lord knows that the Rogers family and Canadian big banks (but I repeat myself) need the money. /s
– Banks are majority owners of bell, Corus is owned by Shaw, Shaw is owned by Rogers.
Goebbels, Soviet Pravda and Tass would be proud of the evolution of propaganda and its effect on the masses.
Liberals are the modern equivalent.
The Adopt a Journalist pilot program!
Humorous Orwellian accuracy as Canada lives its Librano truth is stranger fiction slide into dystopia.
A missing than!
The Liberal Media Whore/Gigolo Complex gets a raise.
