Just another example of traditional media avoiding facts when it gets to offensive for the Conservatives.
I'm sure they'll platform some far right stuff to "balance" things out.

Those are pretty much the generations heavily influenced and grew up with Facebook. The Liberals could have really done themselves and society a favour if they did something about the misinformation on there.
I think greed is just human nature but people need to be logical about it. Raising the floor for society benefits the average person a shit ton more than raising the ceiling.
Of the charts I particularly found that Conservatives was voting for "Growing the economy" to be pretty humorous. Before the current Trump crap, Canada was clearly at the top of GDP growth among the G7. GDP has long been a general standard definition of "economy".
Then places like the Fraser Institute started with this GDP per person thing which didn't really even make past Conservatives look good it only made the incumbents look bad. If we're straying from the general economic talks and into inequality or personal well being then the Conservative trickle down policy looks even worse.
This could do a lot of housing affordability. The question is will people with investment in housing allow for it to happen.
The Facebook Cambridge Analytica leak was mostly framed as a privacy thing but people glazed over how all that data was used to target people for politics and that was a decade ago imagine what they can do now.
On the fake ads front like you said they're more than happy to accept the ad revenue regardless where it comes from, the platforms is also setting records for user hours and there's barely any political movements to do anything about it.
If people are going to keep using those platforms they should be using altered apps and blocking as much of that stuff as they can.
I was going to leave this CBC thing till after the election but after watching this video where this creator talk about how she get constant rape and death threats for making progressive content while traditional media platforms some horrible conservative voices reminded me how CBC portrays the news these days.
In one of the first article after the public caught on to Danielle Smith admission to foreign interference CBC published a story where they tried to legitimize her advocating for American officials to interfere with our election because she "just answered a simple question".
Smith just answered a simple question, says analyst
Gitane De Silva, founder and principal of GDStrategic, a public policy group in Calgary, said Smith is allowed to have a personal political opinion and that, as a conservative, she would support a Conservative government.
"I think she was just answering a question that she was asked," De Silva said about Smith's comments in the Breitbart interview. "Just like President Trump has commented on who he'd rather work with, Premier Smith would rather work with a Conservative government in Ottawa."
Then they follow it up by downplaying Breitbart as merely Trump friendly.
Less so her weeks-old remarks to a Trump-friendly media outlet about a strategic Washington "pause" on tariffs to avoid boosting Liberal fortunes, and that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was "in sync" with the direction of Donald Trump.
Voting reform and people actually picking better candidates instead of trying to kick out whatever incumbent party out would go a long way for people actually worth their pay as well.
Letting mediocre politicians linger around the system to long is how we got Pierre.
People always defend MP salaries saying we need it to get a certain level of competence, but purely overpaying doesn't guarantee much.
However time and time again these people do things that wouldnt fly for someone nmaking minimum wage.
Despite how the article is portrayed(91% on the meta polls) all this guy needs to do is stfu and collect 800k.
Conservatives might have some success convincing people they're aren't MAGA.
But I doubt they'll be able to convince people MAGA isn't for Conservatives.
I think looking at a chart 5 years from now people will see a near unnoticeable blip in the gas and food prices aside whatever trade war stuff. If people paid those prices yesterday they'll be willing to pay it tomorrow and corporations has been very successful at the deregulation thing.

Last year there was an Opinion article in the Globe and Mail titled:
Yet another summer of strikes? All political parties are now backing unions
Then a few weeks later:
WestJet strike averted after federal labour minister imposes binding arbitration

For anyone out of the loop certain people have latched onto this thing about Carney's possible PAST assets that isn't a standard for anyone else. What I'd like to bring up one of the people pushing this stuff out is CBC.
This is the same thing we've seen Americans news outlets do where as Trump style politics has completely overtaken the right wing politics and the Traditional Media has been trying make things look fair and balanced by artificially making the insane look sane while the anyone else is held to a increasingly high standard.
Current day mainstream media is already heavily right wing dominated.
Going back to CBC I don't understand what they're doing because the right wing thinks they're propaganda while the left has to watch them put out straight up hit pieces while begging to be saved.

Carney announced last week that he has put his financial assets into a blind trust to shield himself from any conflicts of interest.
.....
A blind trust means Carney's financial assets are handled by a trustee who has the legal authority to manage them but who is barred from seeking his input. Carney wouldn't know what is in his blind trust portfolio, but would know what those assets were before they were divested.
Under the current government ethics rules meant to guard against conflicts of interest, Carney had 60 days to disclose his assets to the ethics commissioner upon being sworn in and another 60 days before that information goes public.
Asked Monday if he should disclose what financial holdings he had before they were put into the blind trust, Carney said he has exceeded the expectations of the current rules and is being held to a different standard.
....
"Your line of questioning is trying to invent new rules. I'm complying with the rules that Parliament has laid out and… I will continue to comply with those rules," he said.
Also whatever this is :
Prime Minister Mark Carney pushed back on reporter questions about his financial holdings during a news conference on Monday.
The unnamed reported in question is Rosemary Barton - Chief Political Correspondent for CBC the same news network he works for.
