Do you know how much of our “Canadian” media is US owned? It’s massively disproportionate.

I do know, but I don’t understand what that has to do with what I’m saying.

I follow almost a dozen news sources, all of them Canadian-owned

Look at a headline, then look at the different outlets covering it. For me, a Canadian, it’s important during elections so I can cut out all the US owned newspapers that have a very conservative / US bias to them.

You get that for free by… not following any US owned newspapers? Looks like GroundNews is solving a problem that GroundNews created for you.

This is good to know, but I honestly don’t see a lot of value in it… I got weekly emails like:

News from the left, for the right: (the most unhinged shit, actual news for things we should care about)

• Microsoft reports detection of Russian election interference targeting Harris
• Nevada will use Google’s AI to help decide who gets unemployment benefit;
• Private Prison Stocks Soar After Trump Win

News from the right, for the left: (yes I guess that’s also news, technically)

• Navy Seal unit that killed Osama trains for China invasion of Taiwan
• Prisoners should jump housing queue to cut crime rates, says politician;
• Amish turn out for Pennsylvania vote in ‘unprecedented numbers’ (to vote for Trump)

Like seriously, what’s the point of exposing myself to this bullshit?

Looks good, but I’m curious about sources showing to what extent Libby is profit sharing.

Kobo HQ is Toronto, but it’s owned by Rakuten of Tokyo so… not sure how to categorize that

Then you should ask […] what lives they have lived to be opposed to the removal of the program instead of ignorantly using subjective evidence to justify the programs removal.

I don’t need to ask because this one I can infer by myself 🤷🏽 there’s an assumption that these programs are in fact bringing significant results in “preventing addiction, gang violence, and sex crimes against children” when in truth, the evidence for these benefits is also subjective evidence ignorantly waved around.

If you’re able to connect the dots, the question I’m asking is exactly that. What kind of lives leads someone to believe on these alleged benefits. The other kind of life, the life that leads someone to not blindly believe that polices on schools is a good thing, I already know, I lived it myself.

Yes I also read the article

Bizarre. So most of the dispute was over police presence inside schools. I don’t know what kind of life these parents who want police inside schools lived as kids, but almost all of my friends who had any sort of interaction with this kind of program say they got more trauma than any kind of meaningful assistance.

This is how you get kids to grow up thinking that addiction is a moral failure. How about we bring a priest into the mix too?
