Truth be told every business in Canada receives some level of subsidy through tax deductions and grants. And for sure those deductions will be part of the budgeting and bottom line. But those are not their prime source of income.
I find Sun news brutally frank and honest, often giving a non-politically but honest and correct report of the news. One of the best examples of this was the Idle no More event, where Chief Spence lived in a tepee in Ottawa for 20 odd days on a hunger (?) strike. While the CBC and others were clamoring over making her a saint, it was Sun news who pointed out that after 3 weeks of fasting, her cheeks were still pretty Rosy, whereas political prisoners who had done the same thing were often near death within a few days to a few weeks. They also dug up the dirt on her common law partner who was earning ungodly amounts from the reserve as band manager, taking donations in support of her hunger strike (he battled in the media that these donations should come to him and not the band) while the band itself had just the year before declared a state of emergency over the deplorable living conditions.
Where was the CBC during all this? In the main scrum, reporting how the prime minister and the governor General, nor the Queen herself, weren't showing up to negotiate with Ms Spencer.
Cdn content? You're kidding right? Is little mosque on the prairie one of your examples of this? I'll take corner gas anyday.
