Hugely disappointing. Keep writing Peter! I support as much independent media as I possibly can. BigMedia, The Hub, Western Standard and 4 substacks and would love to support more.
When ALL of the news outlets are running the same story it's not news..... IT'S PROPAGANDA.
The Privy Council Report is a REPACKAGING using language WHICH HIDES what (both L and R) media called "conspiracy theorists'" warnings about the United Nations Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and which falsely awards Pierre Pollievre with this "Breaking News!" unveiling.
This article written 2.5 years ago in September of 2022 will educate you MORE THAN YOUR CONSERVATIVE MEDIA WHICH IS CONTROLLED OPPOSITION.... just like "progressive" media. TRUE JOURNALISM challenges those wielding power..... no matter if they are Liberal or Conservative.
I always wonder how effective wandering a bit off course actually is this late in a campaign. For every fence sitter you may win over I believe that you may lose a near equal number who see the cynical reversal as cause to stay home if there are no discernible differences.
I’m disappointed. I was expecting the Conservatives would expand tax breaks widely for media subscriptions and allow CBC and other regime entities to sink or swim based on real support from the public. This permanent entrenchment of regime media leaves a bad taste. I don’t think the msm will gain any balance from this.
I support media that does not have government support. The Hub. The Bureau. Are at the top of the list.
Next comes backtracking on civil liberties and speech rights due to "hate".
Trudeau said about 15 years ago that he "admired China's basic dictatorship" in regards to getting things done. This was not a random comment. This was a deeply held belief. When you see the lobbying of the "groups" in Canada cement their monopoly power with government intervention and lifelong subsidiies to control "the message" to this extent it is getting truly dystopian. Canadians, especially older Canadians need to get over this idea that "we are nice, we are the nice ones - our leaders would never do that". They're doing it right in front of us and with no apologies. They're doing in all over the west but it's looking like Canada is ground zero for managed decline in our expectations, standards of living, civil liberities all wrapped up in cultural radicalism and racialism to put a bow on top. I would really wish to be disabused of this by our political parties but it's not looking good.
I don't doubt for a second that Carney will gleefully reintroduce the full meal Bill C63 including prison sentences for "future hate crimes".
This party cannot be destroyed quickly enough.
But women fall for the "they'll ban abortion", etc etc on and on, weak minded and easily manipulated canadians unable to think for themselves will be the death of us all
But you support wielding these rights violations when they are used against your media-constructed "enemy" right?
If you support the assault, arrest, firing, expelling, fining and imprisonment of peaceful anti-genocide and anti-pipeline on Indigenous land protesters exercising their free speech rights then, you are a disgusting hypocrite.
Angie, If when referring to peaceful anti-genocide protesters who are accusing Israel of this, then this is where we differ. These people are uninformed and are just wasting their and other people's time and space. If these protesters are not referring to Israel would you share what country you are referring to? Thanks.
Wow you are just as much of a totalitarian-supporting sycophant as the idiots on the Left who falsely justified the arrest, asset-stripping and bank accounts freezing of the courageous Trucker Convoy protesters. Just because your controlled media convinced you that "THEIR IDEAS ARE WRONG" does not void their Charter-protected right to peaceful protest. Yes, Canadians have the right to protest even if they are ignorant, racist and historically wrong....which the anti-genocide protesters are not.
Under international law, a country (Palestine) has the right to defend itself from attack.
ALL PEACEFUL PROTEST IS PROTECTED BY THE CHARTER....whether your brainwashing accepts it or not.
Examples of LEGAL PEACEFUL PROTEST include;
The Trucker's Convoy, anti-pipelines on Indigenous land protesters, old growth forests anti-logging protesters, the January 6th (not an insurection) protesters and anti-genocide protesters. Opinions like yours are what enables the evisceration of ALL of our fundamental rights. Read the Charter!
The problem is that BOTH Conservatives and "progressives" CHEER on the fundamental rights violations of the OTHER TEAM while rightly protesting the rights violations of THEIR team. True protectors of our Charter-protected rights ALSO defend the rights violations of their media-constructed "enemy". If you don't then, you are a disgusting hypocrite who hasn't read the Charter and doesn't truly defend our civil rights.
The one protest I would unequivocally attend in Ottawa would be for civil liberties. That is fundamental and foundational to everything else. If those are stripped away then everything else follows. So I don't think I'm "diisgusting". But thanks for the comment.
Charter? What Charter? The Charter that left it open for judges to interpret as it fits their particular bias? The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be “demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.” Or as Trudeau wishes. As the chief justice says, we are a progressive court, (so take that Charter)
How many private informations (criminal charges) did you lay in the Provincial Court of your city against your boss for administering the unconstitutional mandates which were illegal?
I laid 39 criminal charges against Canada Post Director of Mail Operations for the City of Vancouver, Jen Gall for administering Canada Post's mandatory mask, test and gene therapy practices. I testified under oath during 5 separate process hearings while being recorded by 6 cameras. Because corporations receive a non-prosecution agreement (a get out of jail free card) my hearings were held "in camera" (secret) and the charges were listed under MY name in a Court search and not the accused. The Covid-19 military operation FAKE PANDEMIC criminal trials ARE ONGOING and will never be revealed because the psychopaths leading these corrupt institutions are TOO BIG TO FAIL. The law is a blunt tool...not a scalpel BUT THEY DON'T LET YOU SWEAR OUT CHARGES, SUBMIT EVIDENCE AND RECORD YOUR TESTIMONY UNLESS THEY INTEND TO PROSECUTE.
Strange to be someone in Canada who supported both the Fairy Creek Old Growth demonstrations on Vancouver Island and the Truck Convoy. But I love freedom and trees.
Should add that I think there is a large minority who think like this but the shouting and aggression of tribal politics drowns us out.
This sellout by the old media stuck in its obsolete ways - those of them still left hanging around in empty newsrooms trying to remove the ink stains from their wretched hands, their work not at all being consumed by the next generation, which, to their chagrin, looks to other sources for news and information - are merely buying time with government subsidy cheques as they stave off a date with the free-market executioner.
The bad news for them is that while they might win this particular battle, the era of the Boomers, the last consumers of their products, is starting to come to an end. The kids and grandkids now coming of age, are starting to figure out both what the taxes they contribute are going towards and that to get the attention of the political class, they must vote.
So, one by one, as the Boomers begin to slip away peacefully in their sleep and the kids and grandkids are left with both the tab and task of burying their unsustainsble excesses, you can bet that subsidizing a group of journalists they don't watch, read, or listen to will be on the chopping block.
To them, I say y'all enjoy those handouts while they last...
Considering that Govts are always coming up with "creative" tweeks to the tax system, why not offer 100% tax writeoffs to news consumers for every subscription they pay for? I currently pay for 4, which is about the limit of my financial horizon, but if I could write them all off.....
But then the govt will determine what news source is "trustworthy" and we are back to square 1, only sources on board with narrative control will be trustworthy.
As you stated, the "media" opposes the conservatives because $$, so maybe the CPC is promising to maintain and increase the $$ in order to call off the dogs until they can get elected?
So is it a lie, a promise or just "word-shaped air"?
Or will they actually do it? I really hope not
Is it only Trudeau and Carney and Liberals in general that can lie with no penalty?
Ya, it’s been attributed to him and he may have used it to. George Bernard Shaw and Winston Churchill have also been credited. But I did my best to find the original.
Damn, time to renew Blocklocks and if there's any left I will send some your way Peter. My desire to be well informed is at odds with my bank acct. but it seems it's money well spent when I consider what I get.
I'm not an optimistic person by nature so it doesn't take much to get me all grumbly about national events. This truly dis-heartening. Is there nothing Canada can solve without a government crutch? Can any business, industry or organization operate without going cap in hand to ask for taxpayer money?
It seems Peter there are quite a few websites sending the same message, so who gets the support? As an example, you, Peter Stockland and Elizabeth Nickson once worked for the Calgary Herald. I definitley like all of you, but can’t afford all of you. Maybe time for some mergers to happen.
Hugely disappointing. Keep writing Peter! I support as much independent media as I possibly can. BigMedia, The Hub, Western Standard and 4 substacks and would love to support more.

There is still many reasons why voting Conservative is a better choice. The cost of living crisis, the crime rates etc.
I’m disappointed.

100% agree.

Fkn scary. I’ve about given up.
That Hurts
Thank you for this information.

not sure how it could work.

So is it a lie, a promise or just "word-shaped air"?
Or will they actually do it? I really hope not
Is it only Trudeau and Carney and Liberals in general that can lie with no penalty?
"Trust the plan!" because lying to win is morally acceptable!
I heard it was Groucho Marx and the negotiation was on the price for which she would have sex with him.
Ya, it’s been attributed to him and he may have used it to. George Bernard Shaw and Winston Churchill have also been credited. But I did my best to find the original.
Changing Narratives sounds dark. Wow.
Want actual journalism?
Here are some truly INDEPENDENT sources.

There is no paywall
I know that Peter.
Absolutely infuriating.
