Canada

Fuck Stephen Harper and the conservatives for allowing Americans to buy our media. Never forget.

Don’t read the American press, they’re all capitulating and willfully excluding the truth on this trade war.

You can see it for yourself with their both-sidesing bs.

Le Devoir is fantastic. Great journalism and the writing is very good. If you want to level up your French it’s worth it to subscribe.

Don't forget that even canadian owned media are often just repeating the propaganda put out by the united states. They also fall in line, and some on this list of canadian owned are this way.

If you have it in your heart and wallet, please contribute to any of the Canadian owned outlets in any way you can.

Winnipeg Free Press

Please support your favorite newspaper.

Good journalism is expensive. When local newspapers and independent newsrooms collapse, communities face severe consequences: public corruption goes unchecked, local government spending balloons without oversight, and disinformation fills the vacuum.

This shit should be banned

PostMedia also owns SaltWire, a network of Atlantic community papers that includes the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, the Guardian (PEI), the Cape Breton Post, and the Telegram (Nfld).

The problem with the US owning these papers is that the US can prevent any criticism, objective or subjective, against the US. The US owners can prevent any ad or column that is not aligned with their own US-centric policies. Just like you'll never see an ad for EVs in the Irving Oil papers of the Maritimes.

What the fuck is The Chronical Herald? That sounds like a spoof in a cartoon, like Townsville or something.

Who owns Quebecor Media now?

The Gazette has such a huge influence on the anglophone Quebecois population. It's not only U.S. owned, it's also francophobic as hell.

For consideration

Good list. Just wanted to add a thought about search engines as well. I've been using Kagi (it's a paid service) which has the option to customize searches to pin, raise, lower, or block sites. I have most of the post media sites blocked (as well as a lot of US media sites) and sites like thetyee, cbc, france24, etc set to raise to the top. No ads, ai turned off, search is a pleasant experience now.

Edit to add: it is American unfortunately, but it's the best search engine I've found. I've been operating under the adage "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" so after cutting ties with the vast majority of US companies, there are still a couple I send money to, like Kagi and Signal.

Interesting that all of the major papers in Alberta are owned by post media. Are there any Canadian papers in Calgary or Edmonton? Or just right wing propaganda?
