SERIOUS ABOUT CUTS? THINK CBC

Watching former president Catherine Tait showing her over-the-top arrogance when being questioned about salaries and the ratings of a billion-dollar behemoth that are below a PBS station in Kalamazoo perfectly exemplified this monstrosity of a left-wing propaganda machine.

If Prime Minister Mark Carney is serious about cutting waste in the government, there is no better place to start than right here.

CANADA POST SHAKEUP NEEDED

GIVE THEM A BREAK, NCC

Re: ‘It just doesn’t seem fair’; Clarendon Courtyard patios to close early for construction, Aug. 1

NOT INFORMED

Re: Voters: We weren’t well-informed, Aug. 1

It’s amazing but not surprising that such an important article like this was tucked away in the back pages of the paper.

The results of this survey prove that the Liberal policy to control the news in Canada by eliminating it altogether on Facebook and paying the legacy media to promote their brainwashing propaganda is working.

Average Canadians and new immigrants do not know what is truly happening in our country by following the mainstream media, and Canada is suffering badly for it.
