“The solution is not to have one single source of news and information,” LeBrun said. “What I would actually propose we need is a diverse and democratic media ecosystem”

THIS IS THE PRIME MINISTER. A man with a plan and the ability to explain that plan to Canadians in language they understand, without spin and slogans! #cdnpoli
