While the CRTC does not regulate online media, the Heritage minister’s comments in a CTV interview two weeks ago failed to differentiate amongst which media outlets he would request to obtain a license. On Monday, February 1st, he clarified his statement, stating, “We are committed to a free and independent press, which is essential to our democracy.” While Minister Guilbeault claimed said licencing did not include independent content creators, the National Conservative Caucus Chair Tom Kmiec, amongst others from the Official Opposition, found him misleading at best.
Conservative Canadians have a particular disdain for the CBC in large part of their bias, which is likely to protect their public funding. Our coverage on the 2019 Alberta fires highlighted such bias.
Currently, 44% of Québec’s comes from Alberta and according to The Canadian Energy Centre over the next year, Seven Generation will supply 20% of Énergir’s gas. This comes at a time when the Québec gas distributor is making attempts to move in an environmentally-friendly and transparent direction.
Black people have been existing and contributing to this great land since pre-confederation, yet we don’t know a lot of their stories. From John Ware to Eleanor Collins, to Lincoln Alexander, to the all-black battalion in Word War 1 – we have so many stories of black history to tell. I look forward to seeing these stories become more known through Black History Month.
Yurdiga said, “Albertans will not accept a “no” decision from the federal government regarding the Frontier oil sands project. If the federal government tries blocking a project that has gone through 10 years of regulatory process, that has been approved by both the federal and provincial regulators and has overcome every hurdle, Albertans will have to decide if we should be part of a nation that continues to attack our ability to develop our resources and create jobs.”
It should go without saying due to the excessive property damage, civil disturbances, squatting, and other illegal activity that those protesting under the banner of the Wet’suwet’en do not speak for Indigenous people. After RCMP removed the protesters off the Coastal Gaslink construction site in B.C., the radical environmentalists tipped their hand by immediately protesting […]
One needs to look no further than the current crop of CPC leadership hopefuls to realize, safe a few, and there is no viable steward of conservatism left. Of the group, the two clear frontrunners, Peter Mackay and Erin O’Toole are uninspiring lukewarm centrists who only faintly espouse conservative ideology. Now, although both have valuable parliamentary experience and occupied positions worthy of respect, their victory would all but deoxygenate the party’s flame.
During those years, I raised this issue several times in American, Arabic, Israeli and Persian media. I said that while I understand Israel’s need to respond to the threats of the Islamist regime, I believe Israel should speak to the Iranian people and tell them that the bitterness and hatred stirred by the Islamist regime, between Iran and Israel, has nothing to do with the people of Iran. It should be communicated that Israel is a friend of the Iranian people, just as the Iranian people are generally friends with Israel.
Placing a call to the CRA, Veterans affairs, Employment Insurance or over government institutions has become tedious and often fruitless. It may take you weeks to also facilitate talks because the ques are so backlogged. When you do get through, you hear a very sympathetic agent who has to apologize sincerely for things that weren’t done. You get mad because you know it’s not his/her fault. It is the organization, the structure, and just not enough workers. But then again, why would workers stay? It goes without saying that if the public service suffers, we all suffer.
This pipeline was proposed by Kinder Morgan at no cost to the taxpayer, but after the Liberals provided every possible roadblock to the TMX project, Kinder Morgan was forced to cut their losses and leave Canada. This forced a government buyout of $4.5 billion. They assumed the remaining costs, which have now ballooned past $12.6 billion.
A well written report. Thanks for your effort. It raises awareness.
