that's a fair point but i'd argue that canadians take their political and cultural cues from americans via osmosis anyway so that's kinda moot

and let's face it, "foreign influence" really means "non-western"

Around the time that some guy got up in the face of a weatherman on msnbc after the latest hurricane it became apparent that the biggest BnR losers on this website have decided that The News is very problematic and that chuds shrieking incomprehensibly in their faces is actually leftist praxis

that CPC guy is a moron but cmon you can’t possibly be defending foreign media ownership. it’s just another way for countries to practice imperialism - look at how the US uses their media influence

our own supposed independent media peddles the same imperialist narratives from washington all on their own without foreign media influence or even directives from the yanks themselves because this is who we are. we are part of the imperial core. we're going along with it willingly because we want what the americans want.

changing hands from canadian capitalists to american capitalists: is there a really a big difference?

but that's not what that private member's bill was about and never was, it was strictly xenophobic brained "foreign influence" about CHYNAH
