    I think a lack of media literacy.

    Many don’t ask why they’re being shown what they are on TV and social media.

      It’s Fox News… That’s the elephant in the room. You can’t make progress when they are propoganda masquerading as news.

      The very fact that they haven’t been sued into the ground or curtailed at all by the government lends them legitimacy. People believe what they see on the TV, especially if it makes them feel good.

        This right here why I plan for the very real possibility of the downfall of Canada eventually too, unless Carney foes something to deal with our USA media consumption and get them out of our news media corps.

        There’s a lot of bravado and patriotic feelings being projected outwardly right now sure, but Maple MAGA would’ve been in charge if the USA didn’t have their election first.

          You’re welcome, I guess? Best of luck to you, sincerely. I really hope that Raiders of the Lost Ark villain you’ve got up there never gets his clammy little hands on the levers of power. It’s mind-boggling how little charisma these grifters have. Really makes me question its value as a stat.

            Just watch. I really don’t think more CBC money will drown out the enemy who owns the majority of the media we consume. Australia is in the same precarious position under Murdoch.

            Edit: by just watch I mean leading up to the next election after Carney majority wins this one.

            Or the next Australian one.

          I heard “PP” was in the lead before the tariffs, he tried to double down when carney was getting a massive boost because of the tariffs.
