Record-breaking profits enjoyed by a handful of people though! /s

And it's marketing without any real policy or governance or relevance to real people and issues. The world will crumble more the longer this style of politics remains the norm

Agreed, but I also thinks this looks 10x worse on the Canadian government than it does the multinational corps they're jerking off

The industry is already destroying the livability of this planet for disproportionate profits. Now they can't lie about it with impunity. Boohoo. Too bad the legacy media gives them and their messaging so much reach

Wow. Police brutality. Authoritarianism. The anti-Palestine racism issue in Canada has reached a new low

Neat scene. Great photos. I like the orange snail (first picture, bottom right)

This is what supporting genocide looks like. (If you're in the US, I think you still have to vote for Biden in November)

From talk radio to the New York Times, many legacy media companies are (not so) subtly pivoting from journalism to infotainment that is designed to push the agenda of billionaire owners and get clicks and targeted advertising revenue. They also want to have their cake and eat it too though: to have no accountability for journalistic standards yet maintain their historic cache in news spaces.

Coverage of Palestine in the the last year, the US presidential election (Biden vs Trump), and the capital gains tax in Canada a couple months ago (that only applies to the <1% wealthiest Canadians) have all clearly exemplified this. I also recognize differences in true majority opinions on these matters and the ostensible status quos that the media outlets try to portray on how Canadians, Americans, or people in general feel about these issues. Propaganda is a strong word, and boy we're trending in that direction

I'm so glad Murray's on the team! We are stacked with talent!! Our size is our biggest weakness, at the centre position and maybe overall as well

Thanks for your comment, and your other posts on PR! Your comment motivated me to spend 15 minutes looking into this stuff online (I found this a very clarifying 5-10 read: https://www.fairvote.ca/what-is-first-past-the-post/). And that 15 minutes of research fired me up! This is important stuff !!
