Canada needs to adopt laws forcing them to display, on on all their pages, a big "submissive to USA" banner.
(... and more broadly, for every product, a "x% tainted by USA's components" label)

Or better yet, nationalize those papers. America shouldn’t be controlling Canadian news.

I mean. Postmedia is already mostly funded by the federal government. Think it was in 2022, they received $9.9 million, while their operating profit was 13 million.

As an American I support this message.

[–] ggwithgg@feddit.nl 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

But neither shouldn't a government. Government independent journalism is also very important

In Norway we have both. I think it's a nice balanced solution.

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 days ago

Canada's bourgeois controlling your media isn't meaningfully better than the Canadian government, at least the Canadian government needs to pretend to represent you.

[–] CircaV@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Exactly. America has stated its goals 1) to destroy Canada’s economy in order to achieve 2) annex us 3) to just take Canada (militarily). There is NO WAY most of the media in the country should be American-owned, it’s already normalizing annexation talk. Enough!!!

[–] Lupus@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago

Or better yet, nationalize those papers.

Holy fuck that's a scary proposal.
