Shootings

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.

"Truth be told every business in Canada receives some level of subsidy through tax deductions and grants"

Big difference between a tax deduction and a grant...and Im talking about grants to private media businesses

Cbc certainly reported on Spence boyfriend, in fact..."Public records show Kennedy declared bankruptcy just five years before he became the band's money man. He declared debts of $24,380 and assets of $2,403 in his September 1996 bankruptcy filing.Kennedy's past money problems come to light as Attawapiskat and Spence face questions over a scathing audit of the band's books that found a missing paper trail for millions of dollars between 2005 and 2011.
Part of the period covered by the Deloitte audit overlaps with Kennedy's second tenure as the band's co-manager."


CBC is/was hardly singing Spence praises



Oh and I agree it was no hunger strike, total farce IMHO, more like a healthy diet, although she didn't seem to lose any weight, but there is a difference between being overly sensitive (perhaps in this case), and being biased which they weren:t. Besides I think the CBC was the only one to point out that Spence was camped out illegally on the island

BUT Why wasnt the Globe and Mail accused of being anti-Progressie Conservative when they published the one photo of Stanfield fumbling the ball, instead of any of multitude of photos of the 20 or so catches he made cleanly? A photo which cost him the election.

Why wasn't CTV accused of anti-Lib biased when they aired the Dion interview with the messy re-starts when they said they wouldn"t

Meanwhile, just listened to a very interesting first episode "The Bugle and the Passing Bell", ...archival interviews with First War vets.. I just cant see that happening on any other radio.

I never watched LHO Praire..thought it dumb to say the least, but that doesnt detract from the multitude of other interesting and informative shows..... On the other hand cant say that e-talk is what you would call really enlightening tv.

And again I am reminded of the fact that Sun media is owned by a separatist who wants to destroy this country
