Creepy, Godless Canada: ‘I’m not sure we care enough:’ Cultural shift needed to stop tragedy in care homes, experts say

[shockedcanadian]

LOL. The Toronto Star is NOT right leaning. It's one of the most liberal papers in Canada. You might find a few more further left in B.C, but certainly in Ontario, Toronto Star is full left, union supporting. I don't mind the paper because they at least call out human right abuses. I pick and choose my articles based on the substance. I'm not an ideologue because I see filth and angels in all political stripes.

Right leaning are, National Post, Globe and Mail, Toronto Sun (I guess they would be your NY Post, but more of a rag then hard hitting to be honest). CBC is the only media further left than Toronto Star as far as I am concerned.

I guess I got the wrong website. Either way your bullshit is still bullshit. Canada is one of the happiest nations in the world. Congratulations on being miserable in one of the happiest countries on Earth.

Some poll or survey where Canadians say they are happy has nothing to do with the condition of some long term facilities. There is zero logic in your post.

The worst part is that the same people who lived their lives in the dark, who watched Team Canadas hockey teams (are only source of pride sadly, yes, a sport) and waved their flags are the same unfortunate saps who will be suffering in these Homes.

They will wonder "why aren't people here caring, as this is supposed to be Canada". They will realize too late that all the flag waving meant F all to those running this system into the ground for their own benefit.

without question the U.S system is more vibrant in terms of debate and speech.

They are obviously biased- the MSM sets an "official" narrative others (alternative media and not social) react to

It's the same here.

He's making it seem like Canada is a terrible place to live.

Canada ranks 16th
The US ranks 45th

in this freedom of the press

2020 World Press Freedom Index | RSF

Access all the data about the 2020 Press Freedom Index.

Then there is this from Cato Institute

On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 represents more freedom, the average human freedom rating for 162 countries in 2018 was 6.93. Among countries included in this year’s and last year’s report, the level of freedom scarcely improved (0.01) compared with 2017, with 87 countries increasing their ratings and 70 decreasing. Since 2008, the level of global freedom has decreased slightly (−0.04), with 70 countries in the index increasing their ratings and 70 decreasing.

That's odd, because media ownership diversity in Canada is non-existent. I believe Bell Canada and Rogers own 50% of ALL media outlets in Canada. That's right, two big corporate owner groups tell Canadians what to think and believe. Following that is probably CBC, state run news. So those are the vast majority of the options here.

As such, there is no way that the U.S lags Canada be it in free speech or those getting out alternative views. Be it through investigative journalists or independent documentaries. I've read articles from Canadian media writers who lived in Washington, moved back to Canada and remarked that without question the U.S system is more vibrant in terms of debate and speech.

I saw some Canadian "news" coverage of the previous election that was laughable. They gave Progressives about an hour to explain away criticisms thrown their way and then the last 5 minutes than covered how their conservative opponent opposed abortion and how stupid he was. Essentially, the media in Canada is a vehicle for free campaigning for Progressives while bashing their opponents.

Shameful.

If those facilities suck then they suck.

Compared to the sacrifices made by so many and the access to the largest consumer market on earth? Relative to other nations if they were in our position, yes, living here under the control of the creepy, covert police and their families, it is a terrible place to live. Just as the East Germans knew life was better in the West.

You had better pay attention as some want to drag you to our kakistocracy. The signs are there. It isn't just the LTC facilities, it's the system that has placed people there because they weren't allowed to be free for the 70 years of their life.

You can bet, if you have any money. Whether earning it by work or in a lottery, the creepy covert police will be in your life. That is, if they ever allow you to earn it at all.

I think Americans are really naive as to how messed up the world is, in particular Canada. We are not the milk and honey some portray. We are a backwards, creepy system. Don't allow your nation to become beholden to central power. Just look at how the world is dealing with the Wuhan Virus.

Canada did it right. Frist legalize pot and THEN turn to fascism.

They will all be so high they won't even notice, let alone care.

The Ga. election results are coming in. If Democrats win, we won't recognize this country by the next election. We'll surpass Canada's ugliness in short order. Harris, AOC, and Sanders want the majority of our incomes for starters. They are about to tax us to death, at their whim.

Why would we have a better outcome under socialism than Venezuela? If we are this f-ing stupid then we deserve what's about to happen....
