Oh gee - who could have known that an oligopolistic corporation would put short-term profits ahead of the common good? Our politicians should have considered the parable of the scorpion and the frog as they let the likes of Bell and Rogers gobble up our independent media and telecoms. These corpos will make promise after promise and renege on them the moment it becomes advantageous.
Aaaand we have the Conservatives, who I’m sure will form government next election, consistently chomping at the bit to gut the CBC.
Yeah I would bet money on the cons getting power next election. Our population just flip flops between the two without actually using any critical thought process. Our whole electoral system needs reform
Yeah, it’s too bad that the Liberals, who campaigned on electoral reform, decided it was a bad idea after all when they realized it wasn’t going to benefit them. I’ll never even consider voting for them for a few decades after they pulled that move. I mean, I wouldn’t be voting for them either way, but now I straight up loathe them. “Thankfully” I live in a firmly Conservative riding federally so I don’t even have to consider voting Liberal to keep the Cons out, because my NDP vote doesn’t matter anyway. So yay for functionally not having a say in our democracy due to FPTP.
“I’m furious” and then an “so anyway” moment. Looks like a bunch of stern words that won’t be followed by any action whatsoever. At least they somewhat conceal the corporate dicksucking with a dog and pony show of “harsh words”. In the US we just get silence from our motherfucking politicians.

NDP needs to get their shit together. I mean I’m largely aligned with the general NDP platform, truth be told. But you are right, the need to get louder and more vicious.
PP basically needs someone to do what he’s doing to Trudeau, to him. There’s lots of material, hanging low on the tree to be picked.
