I was going to leave this CBC thing till after the election but after watching this video where this creator talk about how she get constant rape and death threats for making progressive content while traditional media platforms some horrible conservative voices reminded me how CBC portrays the news these days.
In one of the first article after the public caught on to Danielle Smith admission to foreign interference CBC published a story where they tried to legitimize her advocating for American officials to interfere with our election because she “just answered a simple question”.
Smith just answered a simple question, says analyst
Gitane De Silva, founder and principal of GDStrategic, a public policy group in Calgary, said Smith is allowed to have a personal political opinion and that, as a conservative, she would support a Conservative government.
“I think she was just answering a question that she was asked,” De Silva said about Smith’s comments in the Breitbart interview. “Just like President Trump has commented on who he’d rather work with, Premier Smith would rather work with a Conservative government in Ottawa.”
Then they follow it up by downplaying Breitbart as merely Trump friendly.
Less so her weeks-old remarks to a Trump-friendly media outlet about a strategic Washington “pause” on tariffs to avoid boosting Liberal fortunes, and that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was “in sync” with the direction of Donald Trump.
Saying something is OK because president Trump did it first is not a good defense when we all know he does a ton of unethical and flat out illegal stuff.
No fan of Kenney, but I really wonder what his approach here would have been in comparison to Smith. Would it have been similar or the same as Smith currently, or more similar to Doug Ford’s approach?
I don’t have a source to share but apparently for Kenney and Harper sovereignty is a non-starter. I suspect they would lean towards Ford’s approach while pushing domestic pipelines every which direction.
Take the above conjecture with a grain of salt.
It’s like a negative zone version of Waynes World
