You're right about the Thomsons but - and this is my point - they ARE Canadian. As is the CBC. The problem is not foreign. The problem is Canada.

That is not accurate - most of the significant Canadian media is owned by Canadian companies, most notably Thomson-Reuters. You are right to say we should expect propaganda, but it's homegrown propaganda, which is my original point.

This is true, but it is also true that there is almost no light between the Postmedia coverage of Palestine and that of the CBC, which would be hailed by liberal Canadians as an example of Canada's more enlightened media landscape. (Eg. CBC repeated the claims that Israel wasn't bombing hospitals).

I know I'm a broken record here, but I just have to keep insisting that Canada be recognized as the same kind of state as the US, Israel, and the other colonial powers. Canada is not the 'nicer' partner, it doesn't have some inherent respect for human rights or justice; it is the same.

For the Canadian mainstream press to insist on such an absurd smear puts them in opposition to not just major international media outlets like Al-Jazeera itself but also liberal international organizations like Human Rights Watch and Reporters Without Borders.

Respectfully, I don't know whether it's true or why it matters if he's better/worse than Poilievre might have been. It feels like the most irrelevant piece of analysis we could include here. I don't mean to be harsh but we are talking about a genocide - why do we need to reaffirm his being "better?"
