like the lie when Postmedia bought the Sun newspapers. “oh we’ll maintain separate newsrooms for sure!” Yeah that really lasted >.>

lol, if all the money doesn’t go to legacy media then the government is really going to look ridiculous. Textbook talking out of both sides of their mouth.

Canada has NOT done what the headline claims. Canada is actually being an incredible pussy about this. “the Canadian government has not specifically condemned the move by the U.S., or Ukraine and Russia’s use of cluster munitions”

if we really want to stand for our principles we shouldn’t be afraid to say hey, the US is wrong, they should find alternatives. We can’t claim to be condemning it without even mentioning the perpetrators directly.

I doubt there’s that much appetite for it, after how rewriting the anthem went last time. Trudeau is being careful with this.

dumbass executives. that’s always the answer.

I wish I had known about kbin three weeks ago!

Bell Media will just take the money and still downsize all their newsrooms.

it’s sounding like this guy was pretty awful
