Current and former editors just testified at Parliament that 7 years of government subsidies have PERMANENTLY COMPROMISED Canadian media

The payments are secret & it’s the only federal program that doesn’t disclose what each company gets.

Media that take the money get better access.

Media that don’t are left outside.

Now you know why they never ask the hard questions.

You’re no longer watching the news, you’re watching the government’s investment
