Exactly the same rhetoric being used for Canada Post, a vital service the Carney government is destroying.
The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Research indicates that with UBI, under or unemployed people don't have to take 3 part-time jobs, and are therefore able to focus on a better job search. Results show that UBI is a path to a better job.

But some argue that making Canadian showrunners mandatory can hamper homegrown productions. In an interview with CP earlier this year, Jennifer Kawaja, executive producer of Netflix’s Canadian thriller series “Wayward,” said she was against the idea because Canada has a limited pool of showrunners.

Goddam right. You do the right thing -- which this republic desperately needs done -- and they pull your credentials. So what? You have a phone and your have your sources. or you should. And you continue to report on this presidency as your colleagues now do outside the Pentagon. Enough dishonor.
while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Essentially now any government that courts or aligns itself with the United States government from this point forward -- and specifically, the Trump administration -- is aligning its national identity with these values.

It baffles me that the CRTC still refuses to recognize the primacy of the writer/showrunner after years of profiles of Simon, Chase, Weiner, Rhimes, Gilligan, Sherman-Palladino, Key & Peele, Fey, etc. Perhaps they simply disdain Canadians who do it.
