Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said 'there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States,' on the same day U.S. President-elect Donald Trump declared that he’s open to using 'economic force' to acquire Canada.

Trump, kindly go fuck yourself.

I don’t think that assertion is true, so I did some quick googling.

For example PostMedia received 35 million in government funds in 2021 according to pressprogress

Searching through Government of Canada Grants and Contributions you can find lots of public funds. here

My two cents, if it very important we as a society publicly fund Canadian news organizations to help keep them, fair, balanced and, trustworthy as it can be from both sides of the spectrum.

Why do people who talk about fair and balanced news never defend or support the existance of conservative media and use stunted childish name calling of libertarian views. For the record, there is no such thing as “far right” you mental case, unless you talking about taking power away from fovernment, eliminate all taxes, eliminate all regulations, eliminare government programs, shutdown government departments.

For the record, there is no such thing as “far right” you mental case

Considering nobody said anything about the “far right” I can only conclude you’re not interested in listening to what people are actually saying and are just screaming from your soap box.

Lol I’m so glad you’re not in a position to articulate policy directions on my behalf. Holy freaking god. Our education system. It just…failed you.

I am aware of the legal right to publicly insult trans peole and publicly mock gay people, that is a protected right.

I’m a little confused who you are talking to and the points you are trying to make.

My statement was a rebuke of your assertion that only left leaning media gets public funds, of which I think I showed wasn’t true.

For the record there is such a thing as the far-right just like there is such a thing as the far-left.

It’s also amusing you complain about childish name calling and then proceed to do just that.

Not worth talking to them. They’re either deliberately trolling or incapable of coherent thought, or both.

I don’t engage with them often, and I’ll admit it can be frustrating. I’m making a conscious effort to connect with people who hold different ideas or worldviews, Like a new years resolution.

They do have to “agree” to meet in reality though.

Well they got banned so I guess I don’t have to worry about that anymore. lol

Nazis never existed. Fascism is imaginary. You heard it here first!

Fascism is an economic theory. Look at the translation of Nazi if you cannot read the full words in their original writing, it is on the extreme left.
