Media Bias

[fjlip]

So acording to all you pundits the CBC is liberal sympathisers, would Con sympathizers be better ??

Hard to say we have never had a major network of conservative sympathizers, be nice to see that in action. They all lean one way ...to the money.

[stonepicker]

The cbc and all other networks should present the news objectively and factually. Without bias.

[mustardman]

CBC reports the News
Sun news Manipulated the news. (Maybe thats why it disappeared)
if it can't pass the Fact Checker it's an a Entertainment program not a News Source !!

it seems that Some of you think the Media is biased when You Don't like the News it reports.

You'd rather live in a bubble where your Pundits feed you Misinformation that feeds your hatred of government
Fox' News' is a good example Of why American politics is at the Polarized Dangerous State .

Subject: Now aren't we all glad we stopped Harper!









What has our new Prime Minister accomplished since being elected:

1) From his swearing-in on Nov. 4, 2015 to Feb 12, 2016, the Trudeau government distributed 208 cheques worth a combined $5.3 billion. But only $997 million was for projects inside the country. The rest — $4.3 billion — will be spent outside Canada on everything from aid for refugees to helping poor countries fight climate change.

2) Hired 2 nannies paid for by the taxpayer.

3) He and his family flew to the Caribbean for a 10 day winter vacation on a Department of National Defence Challenger jet, which cost about $10,000 per flying hour to operate but reimbursed the Canadian taxpayer only the cost of an economy air fare. Yet he could still afford to pay $2,500 US a night to stay in a 3,400-square-foot villa on the Island of Nevis.

4) He stopped the enforcement of the First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA) and restored full funding without any requirement of accountability.

5) He reinstated the Mandatory Long Form Census and the $500 fine or up to three months in prison for refusing to fill out the survey or providing false information.

6) In the rush to bring in the first phase of 25,000 refugees the government back in November had our military vacate their housing on 7 military bases and are still not allowed back. The reason? There is the possibility of more refugees moving into base housing as complaints of hotel accommodations become more frequent. Also there will be another influx of 25,000 more refugees by the end of 2016, to bring the total to 50,000.

7) His "secretive Board of Internal Economy" just gave all MP's a 20% increase in office expenses which will add an additional $57,690 for a new office budget total of $346,140 per MP and an additional $193,029 for a new office budget total of $1,158,117 for the Speaker.

8) He began discussions on decreasing the MP's workweek by 20% by dropping the Friday sitting of Parliament. The reason? To make Parliament a more family-friendly workplace.

9) He paid $32.9-million (U.S.) to maintain Canada’s membership in the F-35 buyers’ pool, despite his election promise to exclude the aircraft when selecting this country’s next warplane. So how does he answer to that? He creates a new secretive government committee tasked with overseeing defence purchases.

10) He scrapped legislation introduced last year that allowed Canadians who held dual nationalities to be stripped of their Canadian citizenship if they were found guilty of terrorism, treason or spying offences. The first person that will benefit from this is Zakaria Amara the mastermind of the plot to bomb downtown Toronto in an effort to terrorize Canadians and cripple the economy. He will no longer be deported nor have his Canadian citizenship revoked.

Now aren't we all glad we stopped Harper.

Had the Cons dropped their "leader" they very well may have won the election and still be governing today. But we will never know, will we!

#6) is incorrect! Last week the Liberal government pledged to bring in 305,000 refugees by the end of 2016.

Was your finger stuck on the copy button. If no one agreed with your first post, why repeat it. Maybe Harper wasn't as good as you would like to make him out to be!!

Why not call Harper up, he's not doing very much these days, you and him could discuss the wonderful job he did together. At least someone would be listing to you then!!

[samhill]

There's something in the works for renovating the PM's residence as well, not sur elf the cost.

[wakopa]
