Regardless of the truth of this story and the facts surrounding climate change Canadian media is not a credible source of information.

The CBC gets $2 BILLION/yr from the Trudeau Liberal government. All other private news orgs have a hand in a $600 Million/yr pot. For example, the Toronto Star alone receives $5.2 Million/yr from the Canadian federal government.

We can all agree this is a bad system apt to produce favourable results for the Liberals. For example, they won re-election on Monday.

What a ridiculous comment. The CBC is reporting on this article published in Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-019-0592-8
Bad systems occasionally produce acceptable outcomes. They are still bad systems. This is common sense.
For example, they won re-election on Monday.

Or Andrew Scheer is completely out of step with 2019.

I agree that the Conservatives suffered a colossal loss because Andrew Scheer is not leadership material.

Also, there will never be another typical Conservative majority due to mass migration. The Liberals bring 1 million Liberal-voting migrants per year into Canada. The population of which is 35 million. Simple math.

But none of this invalidates my argument that the Canadian media system is broken.
