An interesting opinion piece by a Washington journalist.

Gift From Canada

Excerpt: Why does President Bush hope Christmas comes a little late this year? Because on Jan. 23, Canada may elect the most pro-American leader in the Western world. Free-market economist Stephen Harper, leader of the opposition Conservative Party, is pro-free trade, pro-Iraq war, anti-Kyoto, and socially conservative. Move over Tony Blair: If elected, Mr. Harper will quickly become Mr. Bush's new best friend internationally and the poster boy for his ideal foreign leader.

Fearmongering or no, that's scary.

If Martin's Liberal Party is re-elected for the fourth consecutive time, Canadian taxpayers will continue footing the bill for an expensive welfare state epitomized by its archaic government-run health-care system. Social policy experimentation on issues such as drugs and homosexual rights will continue in an incremental but decidedly progressive direction.


Nope, we're not too blatantly biased here at the Washington Times. But then again, we are the voice of the Reverend Sun Myung Moon, and people probably shouldn't listen to us.


gee a media outlet to compare to the CBC.

:roll:

Why can't the media be unbiased like those over at The Sun chain of newspapers and Fox News?

Nope, no neo-con favouritism there.

The CBC is a publicly funded network.
Do you know who was responsible for making it a publicly funded network?

The Conservatives did you idiot.

$1:
The newly elected Conservative government of R.B. BENNETT responded to the appeals of the CRL by passing the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Act (1932). It established a publicly owned Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC) with a mandate to provide programs and extend coverage to all settled parts of the country.
The CRBC suffered from underfunding, an uncertain mandate, inappropriate administrative arrangements and a series of tactless political broadcasts. But as a result of further lobbying by the CRL, the returned Liberal government of King was persuaded to replace it with a stronger public agency rather than abandon broadcasting to the private sector.


:lol:

Well look at that, the Conservatives were using it as their own political media entity as far back as the 1930's.

And it was also publicly funded during the Conservative run governments of Mulroney, Joe Clark, John Deifenbacker.

I wonder just how much of that criminal media baron, Conrad Black's fraudently gained money the Conservatives have been blessed with?

The CBC should be let free to the public market, then we'll see how long these leeches have a job. No country needs a state run media outlet.

i don't want $30.00 for each member of my family supporting this joke.

Only when the CBC doesn't suckle up to the neo-con flavoured teet.

Now I may be misunderstanding your criticism...

But its a commentary piece... It's supposed to be biased, people write the newspaper with their opinion and they publish the ones they think are particularly well written or interesting from both sides (if they can)...
