Justin Trudeau may have believed he was joking, but his attempt at humour contains a fundamental truth. Our prime minister is using Canadian tax dollars to control media narrative in our country.

While Trudeau references his $600 million dollar  tax dollar payout to media in jocular fashion, its reality paints a grim social portrait. The result is an emulation of government-media relations in Trudeau’s preferred nation of China.

“You know, there’s a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime,” Trudeau told a Canadian audience.

How Mr. Trudeau can play his media pay-off as an act of frivolity should boggle the mind. It doesn’t, because media have never exposed the details. Why would they? To shoot themselves in the foot would be entirely counter-productive.

As such, some mighty intriguing facts are held back from public consciousness:

An independent media company released previously undisclosed information regarding relations between the Liberals and Canadian media organizations. As reported by Canadaland.com, publications such as Maclean’s, Postmedia, Black Press and Epoch Times received funds as part of a $595 million dollar payout in 2020.

  1. This is old news. That video of him blurting out that he gets all the good media coverage he wants because he paid for it using public funds has been around for years. I even have the clip (which is nauseating as hell to watch because he’s the only human face and voice that makes me feel violently ill using seeing/hearing). It’s disgusting. It really is.

  2. Yes Kuro-Chan, the video is a couple a years old, but with Salzberg article written today, it fits in well, besides people need to know this is still very much in effect today. Hopefully the media will be shamed for it alll over again…

  3. I was very disappointed to see the Epoch Times has received funding, I thought they reported the truth.

    Our local paper Lakes District News (Burns lake BC) is Black Press and no doubt about it you can see the Liberal/NDP bias in the reporting. And the editor banned me from submitting anymore articles going against their narrative and told me I was not allowed to e mail her anymore. How do you like that for free speech and democracy. I guess Trudeau’s bribe money worked.
