As a trained member of the media (journalism school graduate) it's been very disheartening to see how badly the Canadian media has failed the country.
The Canadian media is in a horrific state. At some point in the future I will formulate this into a book, an assessment of the downfall of the media - but some thoughts as to how it got to where it is now - a leftist cult media, lickspittles one and all.
Some quick examples of the media not doing its job -- the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion and Donald Trump presidency.
The people of British Columbia held a free election and elected a government opposed to bitumen pipeline expansion - 60% to 40% - quite a crushing NO to expansion. The electorate knew the difference between bitumen and oil. But the media has, perhaps influenced by millions and millions of dollars of oil advertising dollars, continued to misrepresent the term "oil" and "tidewater" - it's a battle over neither. It's British Columbia's economy and environment and Salish Sea and it's bitumen not oil. You'll never see that accurately reported and thus the divided country we have today. That's the media's fault for letting a propaganda campaign rule the day.
Once you explain the difference between bitumen and oil it's a very short conversation. The media chose not to explain it.
And the coverage of the President of the United States has been 99.9% negative on a daily basis. It's sickening. Even though almost 100% of what the President has said has been true - you wouldn't know that if you didn't watch Fox News in Canada. The media in this country have become a leftist cult of victim-hood without any free thinkers.
Not one person across the country, save Ezra Levant, who is a dork, has been critical. And so what does that say?
I can't imagine this would have ever happened in the days of Jack Webster and Rafe Mair.
Newsrooms have become so tainted by political correctness they can't function.
Newsrooms are the one place that can not and must not tolerate political correctness - thus the uniform leftist cult mentality with grown white men like Charles Adler falling all over themselves to prove their worthiness.
For example - today - Democrat House Leader Nancy Pelosi accused an American citizen, President Trump, of a "cover-up".
So any logical normal human being (or any reporter present in the scrum) would have said - "Cover up of what Nancy?"
To which she would reply - "obstruction".
Then you would ask "Obstruction of what, Nancy?"
To which she would say - "He was going to have (special prosecutor) Robert Mueller replaced."
To which any normal human being would say, "Well would that have stopped the investigation?"
The answer - no.
Did he do it Nancy? Clearly, No.
And what crime was he accused of Nancy?
"Collusion with Russia."
Did he Nancy? "Well... we can't find the evidence right now."
Uhhh huh.
After 2 years, $30 million, a team of 16 Democrat lawyers including Hillary Clinton's own lawyer, couldn't find a crime - but there was one?
Yeah, that seems logical to no one.
But here is the Democrat Leftist Cult media in the USA AND in Canada - parroting the Democrat talking points. And no one buys it. No one believes it. No one's buying the bullshit anymore.
On all of the Canadian broadcasts tonight, radio and TV, you'll get a 1 second clip of the United States President saying... "no" and then 10-15 seconds of the Democrats and 1 minute of a Democrat reporter telling you why the President is a big poo poo head.
No one's buying it. Everyone sees right through the bullshit.
The largest radio news broadcaster in Vancouver, CKNW, is run by a Democrat from Washington State. That's no bullshit. That's true. How much influence he has with Corus in Toronto and at Global BC and Global TV is not known to me, but I would fathom a guess he has influence. That should concern all Canadians because he's in charge, to some extent, of what we hear and see on Canadian airwaves. And they're not alone. CBC is so left wing it can't see center. Today alone they had the news editor of MSNBC on Canadian airwaves proclaiming that the President had no legal standing whatsoever to withstand the subpoena requests from Congress - which is complete bullshit. You can't find a single credible constitutional lawyer who would support the democrat's chances at the SCOTUS.
At the same radio station today they had a story saying 1.5% of soldiers in the Canadian military were reporting sexual harassment or some shit.
To which any normal human being would think... Fuck, is that ever low.
I mean, with all due respect, this ain't the officers we're talking about. We're talking about the grunts. The people getting trained to kill.
I want people, men and women, who are full of piss and vinegar and who like to grab ass and be ass grabbed in the army. I want the testosterone junkies. I want the assholes. The rude bastards. I want the son of a bitch manning the post. Not the respectful pussies.
They're not being trained to write poetry.
1.5%? That's pathetically low. Somehow that was a new story today. Really? Wow.
There was another story - some shit about 1 in 5 Canadians feel like they don't like muslims and that they oppose increasing immigration. And then, the kicker, if we don't increase immigration Canada's population will stop increasing by 2030 or some shit. The reporter through in a "it's felt as a threat to whites in Canada."
I think I, like 99% of normal Canadians, lifted one cheek off the chair and farted to that story. Who the hell cares? First off - why would zero population increase be bad? Nobody every explains that side of the story. Presumably the government would focus on increasing the birth rate. Is that bad? Probably not. As for 20% of Canadians not liking muslims --- so ??? What's the percentage rate of not liking East Indians? Scots? Irish? Those scum Italians? Who the hell cares ??? Someone at a polling company thought it would be good to stir up some useless information shit that makes white people feel bad. You white people!! You scumbags!! How many East Indians hate white people? What's the percentage there? I don't know. Why don't you ask? How many muslims hate East Indians? I'm going to guess... 20%!! How many muslims hate... WHITE PEOPLE? I'm going to guess - 20% Who gives a shit? Useless information. Pointless information.
Compared to what???
Here's some real intelligence.

This book by a civil rights leader and - not that it matters - black author, Shelby Steele explains the leftist cult in a nutshell.
It should be required reading for every reporter in every journalism school to make sure the left cult stops.
NHL Playoffs
Vancouver Canucks are in big trouble. They went way WAY down the wrong garden path.
Happens to them every single time - they believe the NHL is going "skilled, talented" but the reality is it never does.
As I said in my book http://www.michaelmunro.ca/Hockey_Sucks.html -- Hockey Sucks -- you don't need talent and certainly don't have room for little players if you want to succeed.
The rule changes virtually guarantee the same type of hockey team will win the Stanley Cup every single time - big, fast, rugged, strong, determined. Talent? pffft
Ya, right. As long as you eliminate the red line, add 2 referees (which means none) little teams will be swatted aside with impunity.
The Stanley Cup Final features Zdana Chara V Patrick Maroon -- War of the Goons
Which will win? I think St. Louis Blues will.
As I said in my book 3 years ago - this leaves only Buffalo Sabres and Vancouver Canucks as the two teams most screwed by the NHL (copied on local radio TSN1040).
It most certainly means the Canucks with Quinton Hughes, Elias Pettersson and Juolevi are headed in the wrong direction as their dimunitive sizes won't work in the NHL.
Of all the teams in the NHL the Canucks are in the worst mess. Not good enough to proceed forward - not bad enough to draft high to get help - they have entered "No Man's Land" (borrowed on local radio).
Fixing this team would take a monumental effort and commitment from ownership. It would need to be stripped right down to the studs and anything under 210 pounds diverted to the garbage dump.
You have to go big, strong, fast and rugged.
My thought on San Jose after the Karlsson move was they're too small.
The impression you get of the Bruins and Blues - led by goons.
That's the first impression you get.
Both teams are copies of the 1994 Vancouver Canucks - still the best team Vancouver's ever had.
The blueprint of a Cup winner is right there.
It starts with size, grit, speed.
When looking at their current roster the only player that fits the bill - Jake Virtanen.
One player.
One guy.
The only player you can imagine going out against the St. Louis Blues and making an impact is Virtanen. You can't make an argument for any other.
They have 1 guy that's been suspended for hitting someone so hard he knocked him unconscious.
One guy.
That's it.
One guy.
And the coach is in a perpetual feud with him for what bizzaro reason I have no idea.
Since there isn't a single 30 goal scorer on the team - don't you think anyone with half a brain would have featured Jake Virtanen by now???
Just out of curiousity? Since no one else can score goals... maybe take a looksee at Virtanen?
It's a doomed franchise.
At this year's draft they'll probably take the 5'5" guy from the USA underage team. Yea, why the hell not eh?
When building a team of smurfs - get baby smurf.
