Postmedia Tells Shareholders $35 Million in Federal Government Handouts is Now a ‘Key Pillar’ of Its Business Strategy

ikiddWhat’s really weird is that I’m on lemmy.ca, and I have no idea what the fuck you’re on about!
Would you care to amuse me and elaborate?

There are a few users I’ve repeatedly run into with this throw the baby out with the bathwater view of Americans.
OtterHmm, the problem being essentially the core concept of representative government.
This will sound insensitive, but it’s a serious point of anger for a lot of Canadians. I couldn’t give a fuck about what the average peanut farmer in South Virginia thinks about Canada. When Canadian’s talk about “America” -they are talking about the American government - ya know, the people who control the tanks and bombs? The people threatening? The people who have an actual impact on Canadian sovereignty?
It’s no different for you. When someone talks about something “France wants to do,” you don’t mistakenly think it’s about some rando coffee-shop worker in Paris, you know it’s referring to the french government. You are well aware that there are people living in France that don’t want to do that thing, but you don’t care, that’s not relevant.
“Not all Americans” really rings so hollow it might as well be a balloon. Use that energy on getting rid of the fascists running the place instead of worrying about discrimination from some country to the North.
Well geeze, I wonder why Canadians would have a less than stellar view of Americans at the present moment!? Might want to do something about your people screaming about how they are going to own us, and control us, and attack us.
Take care of that and then we can talk.
LuciConsider any Postmedia source to be a fascist mouthpiece and it’s reporters as fascists.
Same with Rebel Media.
Why the fuck would you write that?
pelespiritThis is what the right is being fed, the stupid ones believe it. Browse through these memes, its’ kind of insane what they’re shitting out and people are falling for it:
lumpenproletariatI saw that a little while ago and have started dumping leftist memes there as well. Everyone hovers at 80% downvoted.
khannie
edible_funkJesus fuck that site is a nazi hellhole. Every fascist sympathizer needs a violent death.
It’s not just that site, all of the meme sites have a way too big percentage of nazis and POS propaganda.
moopetHe’s a piece of shit.
But also to signal that he’s on a specific side. People would call these dog whistles but I think it’s bit to overt for that.
Bull horn
BurgerBaronDang it’s almost like letting your enemies own our home turf news media is a bad idea or something…
Nah, that’s impossible.
- Liberals continuing to enable Harper’s legacy.
I don’t see where Liberal Party members enable the foreign ownership of our media by direct action.
Mr Harper - he who first sold our resource rights to a foreign nation with a chequered relationship - I think wasn’t with he Liberals.
I do, by their inaction. Ratchet Effect.
Not only that, but create tax breaks for their clientele. Thankfully starting in 2025 this has come to an end, because our media is mostly a monopoly of traitor megaphones.
We need to make sure the CBC is protected, at all costs. Id also like to see some of these smaller guys be able to make a go of it, stuff like the Tyee.
Not before the Beaverton wrote an article on it.
Toronto Sun responds to journalist celebrating ICE murder by promoting him to CEO
TORONTO - After Toronto Sun journalist Bryan Passifiume wrote a controversial post on X celebrating the murder of Renee Nicole Good by ICE, the Sun’s Editor-in-Chief responded to the backlash by promoting him to CEO of the publication.
I had to delete a couple of my Canadian ftoff of my social media because they were both rabid Trump supporters. It was weird AF
Let me take a wild guess where in Canada they’re from…
She lives in BC the other guy was in Ontario
Well, I was wrong, but not surprised
Hey, I’m from where you are suggesting, and I’m also emphatically against whats going on. Both domestically and internationally. I think most my age are. The only people propping this shit up are boomers (inherent racism from the ‘good ol’ days’ + susceptible to social media rage baiting) and people that we grew up with that always latched onto minority causes and viewpoints because they thought it was so edgy. Basically the people that were clearly not going to amount to much. It’s revenge of the dumb.
Hey bruh, I’m a Millenial in America and thought the same thing about Conservatives/Republicans. “They’re all a stupid minority, no one sensible feels this way.”
Please, for the love of god, don’t discount the right-winged weirdos around you. Ignoring those “edgelord cases” who were “never going to amount to anything” are exactly how we got a second Trump term. Use us as a warning.
They’re fucking dumb, yet terrifyingly effective. Keep up the boycotts & public criticisms, we support you!
as an Ontarians, we have a HUGE blue (conservative) community because of how much of it is rural
and it follows the same shit as everywhere else, blue no matter who, even when they don’t understand why. they wanted to fuck Trudeau (understandable tbh), now they want to fuck Carney (not my personal taste and a bit harder to understand, but I won’t judge sexual preferences)
Yeah, people get fedfacebooks and YouTube algorithms. I have two people, BC and Ontario, that I had to stop taking to.
One believes all the right conspiracy stuff and believes the biggest issue is rainbows on sidewalks, etc. The other has two daughters and proclaimed feminist, transrights person, but wanted to move to Texas, where they had just removed women’s rights. The can’t see the contradiction for the “I have freedom and prosperity in the USA”
I haven’t stopped talking to these people (I mean I don’t talk to them, but I keep connections). I only do this, because the sun will eventually rise, and I want to make sure their behavior haunts them for the rest of their lives. Especially in one of the cases.
There were actual Venezuelans in Canada celebrating the abduction. They have easy access to information about what happened in Iraq over the last 20 years, but it doesn’t matter. That would require going out and finding the information, rather than being fed it by automated algorithms.
I hate that look for us
thank you for cutting ties with them
Instead of cutting ties you should keep the light exposed on them. Cutting them off just leaves them with all like minded friends in an echo chamber
It’s too depressing we are surrounded by these heavily propagandized people here in the states. It feels really threatening at this time. I’ve had to isolate for my own health and safety
