CTV news is part of bell Canada, it's not government funded.
Well thats worse
Edit: you do see how that's worse, right?
Au contraire, mon ami. BCE is one of very few (4), select, federally enforced, communications oligarchies.
Through their spuriously "independent" federal regulatory arm (CRTC), and their federally funded enforcement arm (CITT), BCE has enjoyed government funding and protections for over a century.
Saying BCE is somehow NOT government supported naïve at best. It is a facile and superficial assessment of a deeply embedded federally funded entity.
Truly a shallow read, there, BlameThePeacock.
I received a $400 cheque from the Alberta government one time. Feels good to be government funded!
That's exactly what a government funded shill would say!
WHY DID RALPH SEND YOU?
I don't think that assertion is true, so I did some quick googling.
For example PostMedia received 35 million in government funds in 2021 according to pressprogress
Searching through Government of Canada Grants and Contributions you can find lots of public funds. here
My two cents, if it very important we as a society publicly fund Canadian news organizations to help keep them, fair, balanced and, trustworthy as it can be from both sides of the spectrum.
Considering nobody said anything about the "far right" I can only conclude you're not interested in listening to what people are actually saying and are just screaming from your soap box.
Lol I'm so glad you're not in a position to articulate policy directions on my behalf. Holy freaking god. Our education system. It just....failed you.
I'm a little confused who you are talking to and the points you are trying to make.
My statement was a rebuke of your assertion that only left leaning media gets public funds, of which I think I showed wasn't true.
For the record there is such a thing as the far-right just like there is such a thing as the far-left.
It's also amusing you complain about childish name calling and then proceed to do just that.
Not worth talking to them. They're either deliberately trolling or incapable of coherent thought, or both.
Well they got banned so I guess I don't have to worry about that anymore. lol
I don’t engage with them often, and I’ll admit it can be frustrating. I’m making a conscious effort to connect with people who hold different ideas or worldviews, Like a new years resolution.
They do have to "agree" to meet in reality though.
Nazis never existed. Fascism is imaginary. You heard it here first!
Literally the first political opinion on that site ctritizes Trudeau https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/tom-mulcair-prime-minister-justin-trudeau-s-train-wreck-of-a-final-act-1.7154855
"They don't criticize Trudeau, and if someone instantly shows I'm wrong, well, that doesn't count!" -You, a very serious person.

There isn't a news outlet in Canada that isn't government-subsidized in some shape or form by that measure. Even non-profits are, via direct tax exemptions, or tax exemptions given to their donors.
What are we smoking that CTV is government-funded? Or is it lack of reading past the title? Because last I checked Bell Media isn't the Canadian government.
What news websites would you recommend for Canadian news that have not received government funding?
Government funded news is more trustworthy than that rag.
Damn I missed the notification for this, and now the comment is deleted. Even though mine was a rhetorical question I was still morbidly curious what sort of garbage this troll was consuming.
