Have You Noticed?

Can elections be free and fair if one political party controls the media?

  1. this from the ‘anything foa powah’ party.
    meanwhile l make a quip about the worst 2 P.M.s in a row at the pet food store
    and they get defensive? remind them lve been watch ottawa 60 years and a
    poli sci BA to boot and still defensive?
    ya. bloody brainwashing via media and its WORKING thats why they DO IT.

    p.s. dear Canaduh. remember, according to MEdia the Conservative leader is
    ALWAYS ‘hanging on by their fingernails’.
    its called the NARRATIVE. just to be clear on this DOESNT MATTER who’s leading opposition.

  2. Our “media” of course is in the bag for the Liberals….kind of reminds me of those clowns in the U.S. like Jim Acosta and other idiots who pretended to be “journalists” and now that they have gotten the boot, their true colors are showing. They have been left wing operatives all along.

  3. Ralphie and Mike Harris were the only Conservative leaders in my memory who were smart enough and brave enough to use hostile media to their advantage.

  4. I am increasingly of the opinion that the 24/7/365 media propaganda blitz doesn’t really alter voting that much. The voting is, in my humble opinion, decided mechanically and not by the voters.

    I mean, they lie, cheat and steal literally everywhere else, but Elections Canada remains pure as the wind-driven snow?

    In Toronto?

    Really?

    How stupid would I have to be to believe that?

      Well, it *is* really difficult to cheat in a Canadian federal election. Not impossible, probably, but certainly not as easy as it is to cheat in American elections.

  5. State owned and subsidized media is a form of political corruption of democracy for sure but democracy itself is nothing but a destructive state accelerant in a culture where institutional capture, low trust, and ignorance abounds and where free speech, knowledge of history, and critical thinking is purged. A nation of Eloi should not be allowed to vote. Voting should be restricted to net taxpayers only.

    1. I agree, as long as “net taxpayers” excludes govt employees/contractors/consultants etc who are of course NOT net taxpayers.

  6. Haha. “Deeply divided and more dangerous.” Here’s your script for the next month Fifey, now be a good boy and repeat it loud and often. Him and Cochrane could walk out of a Liberal bathroom with crap on their knees and Lib juice dripping off their chins and not be prouder of themselves. Another Canadian Heritage Moment.
