CBC and National Post columnist Andrew Coyne stated Justin Trudeau’s $600 million media bail-out will “irrevocably politicize the press” and urged journalists to boycott the panel. Surprising that Mr. Coyne, one of Canada’s pre-eminent journalists, would bite the hand that feeds him.
Finance Minister Bill Moreau stressed the funding would help save newspapers under threat and would “protect the vital role that the independent news media plays in our democracy.”
Democracy? Didn’t know uber-rich Liberal Laurentian Mountain elites gave a damn about democratic process. Throughout Justin Trudeau’s entire run as prime minister he has consistently ignored the will of the majority– immigration quotas, illegal refugees, citizenship for convicted ISIS terrorists, and much more.
The Trudeau Liberals are a model of virtue-signalling deception. “We cleared a back log of refugees from war-torn nations,” they proudly announce. Translation: Government approved tens of thousands of non-Canadians(many illegal) to enter our country and live off of our tax-payer dollars. Not a single Canadian approved this pointless exercise.
The benefit is limited to government ONLY— it is common knowledge–or should be– that migrants vote for the ruling government at the time they enter the country. So do their family members, and indeed entire ethnic communities. Muslim-Canadians overwhelmingly voted for the Liberals in the 2015 federal election.
Now, Justin Trudeau has taken the very communist path toward controlling Canadian media. The piece media downplay is that they MUST ADHERE to the rules of King Justin to qualify for the grants. No Rebel Media. No Faith Goldy. No media organization with populist leanings will be paid out

Under PM Trudeau, Canada is morphing into a socialist state. Cultural Action Party Of Canada predicted this very thing from DAY ONE. Justin Trudeau, his brother Alexandre and father Pierre Trudeau have all displayed admiration for communist nation of history.
Mr. Trudeau is also attempting to control social media with a new “Charter” entitled “Dimensions: Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.” “Dimensions” has been distributed to all university presidents, who are urged to sign, endorsing the program for their universities.
Establishment Media. Social Media. Education. Law. Within communist nations, government control ALL ASPECTS of society. Clearly, this is what Justin Trudeau is attempting to entrench within our nation. Not a single citizen approved these actions. That’s not democracy–that’s Trudeau “liberalism.”

Your words are slightly inaccurate. What is being implemented is ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNISM. Stalin’s take over of the Czechs was done in exactly the same way as was the Third Reich where Jews were the end of the earth while today it’s climate change whatever that silly term means (NOTHING). Instead of going to the gulag Canadians are gradually driven into poverty where the state owns them. Certainly millions of immigrants in Canada are already on the Liberal hook. As in Germany and Eastern block countries an apathetic and uninterested public allows the despots victory. Canadians better wake up like half the voters in the USA.
Stalin didn’t take over the Czechs. Brezhnev did
Learn your history. Stalin took over Czechoslovakia at the end of WW II. Brezhnev invaded in 1968 when the Czechs were rebelling. My girlfriend escaped with her parents and came to Canada at the time.
Big fucking deal who Stalin took over. Is that all you two Robert and David got out of Peters comments. I read the same is happening in Canada but in a different way. We are taxed to death and the cost of living just goes up. It’s gotta stop.
It’s important to know history. As the saying goes in words to the effect … “Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. Beyond that I agree with Peter and probably you.
$600million to silence the media came from the media reporters own bank account. Each one of they took their portion of their own money to repay themselves to keep silent for Trudeau. NOT ONE DIME CAME FROM JUSTIN OWN PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT, besides, the media reporters would give their lives to protect and do anything for Trudeau and for Free.
Andrew Coyne has to prove his point or else he is pointless to listen too or take him seriously.
Brad, I take the word of many Muslims who see through Trudeau for what he is to believe them when they say that he is a jihadi and not to be trusted. These people are warning us of the extreme danger Trudeau plans for onto Canadians.
The $600 million is taken directly from the pockets of Canadian tax payers–no?
Actually, emphatically yes
I often muse as to where the average Canadian thinks government funds come from!
If not from the taxes levied against all Canadians through everything from income taxes to excise taxes to GST to EI premiums…then where? Unicorn farts?
Tax monies are all thrown into a huge slush fund called general revenue and until Trudeau 2.0 paid for things like the most basic of healthcare for everyone to feel-good projects that the government uses for special interest groups to get re-elected.
With the Trudeau 2.0 regime came huge transfers of tax raised funds to despot led countries as specified by the UN’s IPCC socialist agenda, with very little of any value transferred to projects useful and needed by Canadians other than the newest immigrants, legal and illegal (aka irregular)
!
I SURE WOULD LIKE TO SEE A CONSERVITED CANADA NEIGHTBOR FOR A CHANGE– SOMETHING BESIDES GIVE AWAY OTHER PEOPLES MONEY—
