It empowers citizens by providing them with the information they need to make sound decisions on important issues.\u201d He further stated that government-funded media would \u201cprovide Canadians with reliable and informed journalism.\u201d<\/em><br><br><br><br>Alarmingly, the Liberals fund:<br>The Canada Periodical Fund ($86 million) projected for 2024-2025 for print magazines and community newspapers which includes a new Changing Narrative Fund which supports \u201cdiverse communities and organizations, including Indigenous, Black, racialized, ethno-religious minorities, 2SLGBTQI+ and persons with disabilities\u201d who will \u201chave their stories, experiences and perspectives better represented\u2026.\u201d<br><br>Further, the Journalism Labour Tax Credit ($65 million), provides a salary subsidy of 35% capped at $85,000 for eligible media organizations. Other subsidies from Google\u2019s Online News Act agreement add an estimated $18,000 per journalist.\u00a0In addition to this federal generosity, some provinces provide additional tax credits which in some cases can lead to state coverage of 100% of a journalist\u2019s salary.<br><br>There are two other government programs contributing to the Changing Narrative Fund: Canada Media Fund, ($154 million for television, wireless devices and Internet), and Local Journalism Initiative ($19 million for aids in hiring journalists to produce content for \u201cunderserved communities\u201d).<br><br><strong>The CBC<\/strong>  No discussion of government grants to legacy media would be complete without mentioning one of Mark Carney\u2019s first decisions after being elected Prime Minister.\u00a0Building upon the corruption first introduced by Justin Trudeau, Carney gave a further grant of $150 million to the CBC in addition to its annual taxpayer funding of $1.4 billion (2024-2025).\u00a0Consequently, the CBC is an adoring disciple of Carney.\u00a0It no longer employs real journalists but puppets prostrating themselves at Carney\u2019s feet.\u00a0The CBC is not a source of news but is a propaganda machine for the government and the Liberal Party.\u00a0Is it any wonder then that in 2023, the CBC reported that 96.6% of TV-viewing Canadians do not watch CBC\u2019s prime-time programming?<br><br><strong>Legacy Media Keeps Missing the Stories<\/strong><br>Taxpayer funding costing billions of dollars in annual subsidies has <strong>NOT<\/strong> produced \u201ca strong and independent media\u201d from which Canadians could obtain \u201creliable and informed journalism\u201d as stated by former Finance Minister Morneau. \u00a0Just the opposite has occurred.\u00a0As a result, it has never been more important to monitor, question and doubt legacy media reporting, especially on matters of government policy and the integrity of our political classes.<br>For those paying attention, there is now abundant evidence that the legacy media is betraying Canadians by providing biased news coverage and failing to empower \u201ccitizens by providing them with the information they need to make sound decisions on important issues.\u201d\u00a0In doing so, the legacy media is actively misinforming Canadians.\u00a0Incidentally, knowingly spreading false information intended to do harm is a criminal offence under s. 372 of the <em>Criminal Code<\/em>.<br><br><strong>Hard Evidence of Legacy Media Betrayal<\/strong><br>With the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, a recent study commissioned by the independent multimedia outlet Juno News, recorded significant media bias during the 2025 election cycle.

It continues to cover up for him.\u00a0Behind the scenes, however, Carney is fundamentally changing Canada to fit his own left-wing extremist beliefs.\u00a0The legacy media\u2019s coverup of Carney includes the following:<br><strong>Overspending<\/strong><br>During the election, Carney sold Canadians on the idea that he was different from Justin Trudeau.\u00a0This statement was based on his economic background, that would enable him to solve Canada\u2019s failing economy.\u00a0Since Trudeau first became Prime Minister in 2015, he doubled the government\u2019s debt to about $1.3 trillion dollars.\u00a0Although Carney will not be releasing a budget until the fall, the Liberal platform indicates that it will add another $225 billion to the debt over the next four years.\u00a0The federal government released its main spending plan, formerly known as the Main Estimates, providing evidence that Carney intends to go on a spending spree.\u00a0Spending for 2025-26 will increase to $488 billion \u2013 8.4% higher than last year\u2019s Trudeau Main Estimates.\u00a0Spending increases occur in about 80% of federal departments, with agencies increasing by more than 20% over last year\u2019s estimates.<br><br><strong>Intensifying Ties with Communist China and the Leftist European Union<\/strong><br>Carney is intensifying efforts to strengthen ties with communist China and the European Union, and trying to loosen Canada\u2019s natural trade ties with the U.S.\u00a0By doing so, he is ignoring the fact that Communist China has been proven to<strong>:<\/strong> interfere in Canadian elections; is undermining Canada\u2019s sovereignty in the Arctic; has stolen critical information from Canadian universities and laboratories; has bought and controls Canada\u2019s natural resources; and has established fentanyl drug labs in BC and is trafficking in these drugs both in the US and Canada, the proceeds being laundered through our national banks.<br>Despite this reality, Carney is trying intensely to move Canada\u2019s trade from the US by ignoring the fact that the Canadian economy is structurally tied to the US economy.\u00a0Canada\u2019s infrastructure has been designed to support trade through railways, trucking routes, and pipelines.\u00a0Europe and Asia cannot replace the accessibility or scale of the US market.\u00a0Additionally, the economy is closely aligned with the US dollar, and a major pivot would expose Canada to currency volatility.\u00a0Canada may strengthen ties with other nations, but it cannot write off its top trading partner, the United States.<br><br><strong>Adopting Muslim Values<\/strong><br>On June 6, 2025, the anniversary of Canada\u2019s brave soldiers sacrificing their lives on Juno Beach in Normandy in 1944, Carney chose to attend a Muslim celebration called the Eid Ala-Adna, hosted by the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC).\u00a0During his speech Carney said, \u201cMuslim values are Canadian values\u201d, and that all Canadians must come together to support them.\u00a0By this statement Carney has ignored the fact that Canada was founded on Christian values and principles, not those of Islam.\u00a0One wonders also whether Carney\u2019s support of Muslim values includes their hatred of Jews, a desire to vanquish Israel, clogging up Canadian streets with protests denouncing Jews, the burning of synagogues, polygamy, child marriages and the subjection of women.<br>In the audience at the Muslim celebration, some participants were wearing Palestinian keffiyehs.\u00a0After Carney left the stage, chants of free Palestine could be heard in the audience before a livestream video cut out.<br><br><strong>Federal Summer Jobs Program<\/strong><br><br><br>The Federal Summer Jobs program which, under the Liberals, refuses to fund Christians who are pro-life and pro-family, is currently funding left-wing controversial Islamic organizations, even though the beliefs of these organizations are on the fringes of Canadian life.\u00a0Regardless, The Muslim Association of Canada has become a major beneficiary of the Canadian Summer Jobs Program, with several of its centers across the country approved for funding.\u00a0In addition, the MAC has 69 job openings posted on the government\u2019s website for several camp counsellors and office positions.\u00a0Yet in a 2021 audit, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) recommended that MAC have its charitable status revoked on the basis that some of its directors and employers were involved with the HAMAS support network.\u00a0The MAC recently hosted Sami Hamdi at their Mississauga Convention, who publicly stated that the October 7, 2023, massacre of 1,200 and abduction of 240 Israeli by Hamas should be celebrated as a victory by Palestinians.\u00a0Despite this, in 2023, the MAC received nearly $6 million in government funding, thousands of which came through the Summer Jobs Program.<br><br><br><strong>Pipelines<\/strong><br>Carney refuses to support a new pipeline to get Alberta\u2019s oil and gas to tidewater. He has also refused to repeal Trudeau\u2019s insane <em>Oil Tanker Moratorium Act<\/em> (Bill C-48) which effected a West Coast tanker ban, and the <em>Impact Assessment Act<\/em> and <em>Canadian Energy Regulator Act<\/em> (Bill C-69) which prevent new energy projects from being undertaken.\u00a0Yet on the other hand, Carney is pushing through Bill C-5, An Act to enact the Free Trade and Labour Mobility in Canada Act and the Building Canada Act, which are supposed to encourage new projects of national importance (to be determined, of course, by Carney).\u00a0This troubling contradiction has not been raised by the legacy media.<br><strong>There has not been a murmur of criticism by the legacy media about any of these deplorable actions and statements by Carney.<\/strong><br><br><strong>Why is the Legacy Media Silent?<\/strong><br>It is easy to understand why Carney is committing our country to these unsavory undertakings:\u00a0Carney is totally and utterly a left-wing, globalist central planner who wants Canada to follow his own personal left-wing globalist agenda, which includes adopting policies in support of Palestine over Israel, climate change, and global control of resources.\u00a0\u00a0Moreover, as a practical matter, with Muslims now comprising 4.9% of the Canadian population\u2014and growing, and whereas the Jewish population is less than 1%, Carney wants the Muslim votes and is willing to pay the price regardless of what Canadians think about it.<br>The Legacy Media\u2019s silence is just as easy to understand when one considers three factors: first, of course, is money.\u00a0Legacy Media is being paid by the taxpayer, via the government, not to provide objective, critical reportage on the latest government foibles, but to publish a narrative that accords with government policies; second, Legacy Media by and large not only operates within the same Leftist world view as the political\/bureaucratic elites, but are also themselves members or would be members of that elite, so in a very real sense, Legacy Media sees nothing inherently wrong or problematic with the government\u2019s progressive narrative; and third, Legacy Media lacks the intellectual acumen to objectively report on the major issues of the day not only because of the complexity of most issues, but because the Legacy Media lacks historical perspective, critical thinking-skills and the moral courage to tell the truth.\u00a0It is as simple and complex as that.<br>Parliamentary democracy and Responsible Government \u201cwork\u201d, to the extent that they do, due in no small part to Freedom of the Press.\u00a0A media dependent upon government handouts for its survival is incompatible with a \u201cfree and democratic society\u201d which is why every Canadian should be concerned and appalled by the current state of affairs.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Legacy Media is Betraying Canadians Liberal governments have never been reluctant to spend taxpayers\u2019 money to advance their policies or the party itself.\u00a0This has never been more blatant than in its policy to provide generous funding to the legacy &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/?p=10518\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[5941,5942,43,2110,5943,3609,5944,4167],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10518"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10518"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10518\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10519,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10518\/revisions\/10519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cafe.nfshost.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<br />
