Did anyone else read the entire article and feel like the title should be: "How bad Canadian have it compared to the Dutch and the Danes"

There really isn't much of solution that is implied in the title the we can learn or copy from them aside from the team approach which we've already started to implement.

It can be some of the news but not all the news.

I don't believe there's something magical about CBC where they couldn't be contorted to favour whatever Conservatives want. In itself they've been trying make Trump and other Conservatives look sane for years now.

The only reason why Peirre wants them gone is because Postmedia does it for free. At least until whoever funds them decides otherwise.

Given the current news revenue models I don't think it's possible for large scale outlets to be anything but paid adverts in guise of the news. The Conservative mantra of deregulation is also going to make things worse.

Ultimately someone will need to come up with something that pays people to deliver accurate news.

Loosely related topic but in the last few years I've noticed a uptick of people online prefacing a absolute horrible takes with "I'm xyz(entirely unverifiable)" or just some like "I'm very smart" then says something entirely idiotic.

I think it's very telling how they approached our current issues with America.

Many of Conservatives has potrayed it as a policy issue. When in fact Canada has a Trump issue but criticizing the person you copied for years would look bad.

They're pretty limited here but I think there is significant reason to ban PostMedia posts in this community especially with the future growth.

The concession I think would be reasonable would be to not allow direct links to them and have people use archive links in addition to making the Submitter put a notable point from the article to show that there at least something worthwhile to be discussed.

I don't know much about abstract art so I cannot be ascertain what possible complex meaning the artist is trying to convey.

The piece just warms my heart in these turbulent times and that's good enough.

While the largest super power in the world is threatening to take over our country Pierre has pivoted from talking about how many genders there are to Carney's shoes.

When fraud occurs on Shopify and you use them as a merchant your lose your time, inventory and shipping cost. While they still charge you the transaction fee on top of a fraud claim fee.

This is the company CEO that is defending Trump while criticizing Canada. The COO runs True North the media outlet that makes Postmedia look almost sane.

BioSteel was bought by a conspiracy theorist/Guru type last year that also owns Canadian Protein. For anyone that needs proof just lookup the owner and his social media.

PVL is probably a decent Canadian alternative.

Like many have said Pierre had 2 things he wasn't Trudeau and Carbon Taxes. Both were flimsy but enough for voters to latch onto.

Now Trudeau is gone and his response to a real and much bigger tax threat(Trump's 25%) is trying to get something going with "wokeism" it's pretty much down from here.
