I mean, there you have it. Your options are currently the American owned PostMedia, or the CBC. Meanwhile, Poilievere targets literally the only remaining Canada owned media company nation wide, while claiming to put Canada first.

The hypocrisy is naked and shameless, yet we're looking at a CPC majority under his leadership? There has got to be a better option.

The fact that we've let the CPC continue to maliciously conflate "publically funded" with "state run and managed," while diehard Conservatives nod along, heads firmly positioned beneath the heels of their media conglomerate ogliarchs, is such a gut-wrenching reality.

There should be nothing normal about an 84 year old man serving in congress. But it is normal.

In the world we live in, Sanders should be there.

Fuck, it's been "Megawho?" for years.

The article is great, but I hate this title.

“We are living in a post-Constitutional time,” Vought wrote in a seminal 2022 essay, which argued that the left has corrupted the nation’s laws and institutions.

The "post-constitutional" world in the title is the way Russ Vought describes the current political landscape. It is not, as the title insinuates, something he used to describe the future he aims to create.

This guy is a fascist nut job with a ton of insane ideologies. We don't need dishonest titles to make him look bad.

I'd think, for someone who loves China so much, you'd understand the value of a social score telling you that you're doing a bad thing. Guess you only like to listen when that score is managed by a fascist regime.

Not as scary as the propaganda you're spreading with the original post.

Sony has always been an industry leader in consumer abuse.

But, but, but Polievre keeps saying it's the liberal-funded CBC that's biased and corporate owned, private interest media is the solution!

White space.

So many UIs in my education programs and my work as a teacher just fucking love to leave huge piles of unused space and hide the options I am looking for in a drop down menu off a drop down menu.

Use the space. Give me buttons. Take options out of menus in menus in some absurd, backwards attempt at achieving "minimalism", because you don't understand what the word means, and make a UI that minimizes the time between when I load the thing, and when I get to what I am here for.

Listen, I get that we're collectively enjoying the schaudenfreude of watching the poor mooks who bought into this trend suffer the consequences of their actions. But why defend con artists? These are people who seek out and prey on said mooks, taking advantage of addiction and poor impulse control to make millions, all while contributing nothing to society. They did lie, cheat and steal their way to millions, and no one "deserves" to be on the losing end of that.

Idiots with money will literally always exist. Assholes offering no value to the world will always try to abuse them. The law is supposed to step in and do its best to force said assholes to play by rules that force them to be productive. Let's not turn up our nose at the one time it might serve it's purpose, just so we can feel smug and superior.

I hope this case finds its way through the courts, and I hope it costs these con artists millions.
