I spoke with @colincraig1 from @SecondStreetOrg & Peter Shawn Taylor @c2cjournal about survey numbers on trust in #cdnmedia (to be broadcast later). Replies on Blacklock’s post about #BellMedia CEO testimony at Commons committee illustrate. @PascaleStOnge_ @NewsMediaCanada
@PierrePoilievre our first guest tomorrow (Apr13). @JustinTrudeau budget spending promises and public inquiry into foreign interference key points we'll cover with the CPC leader and according to repeat national polling the most likely next PM of Canada.
Voter opinion has detached from headlines, policy announcments, economic news, etc. Voters have made up their minds and are waiting for election day to express their desire for change. Yes, this can change. But nothing coming out of Ottawa is likely to do it. 2/n
Contrast between what Trudeau told inquiry today and chief of staff Katie Telford told MPs nearly one year ago. Last year, Telford on April 14, 2023 told MPs "of course the Prime Minister reads any documents he receives." Today Trudeau said he mostly relies on oral briefings…
Every shocking thing we heard this week at the Hogue inquiry Trudeau knew nearly five years ago. CSIS told him. He said nothing. He did nothing. He refuses to answer, even now.
A timely and important question which deserves an answer. Every time PMJT ignores these questions he’s showing his contempt for Canadian voters.
“What’s the difference between ignorance and apathy? A: I don’t know and I don’t care?” @mindingottawa (Greg Perry - Winnipeg Free Press)
This is quite a remarkable car-crash interview. One which makes a worthy addition to any decent collection of media training case study clips. Especially in this age of geopolitical complexity, it’s so important to think the communication through before a public conversation…
This is magnificent to watch. The President of Guyana truly put the BBC in its place. When sanctimony and pomposity meets sense and modesty.

@Cadaren @CanadaKlr @timthurley Follow @mindingottawa - every so often they remove the paywall on articles. That gives you an opportunity to read and see for yourself. That's what led me to be an eventual subscriber. Read a few unlocked articles, and decided I liked the document-led investigative journalism
@joshuadoucet17 @Barb_Here @hollyanndoan @mindingottawa @AlexpiersonAMP Considering they’ve been around for 12 years people are definitely dropping $314 as an initial payment. Last year I paid for the subscription. More than likely, I will be paying again for another subscription.

@pplmeanmore @Morgan_C_Ross There are agencies that are subscription based. One that seems to be on the mark is @mindingottawa I am not one for opinion based reporting, I can form my own.
@apasztor82 We cancelled all MSN in 2019. We did purchase a subscription to Blacklock’s reporter for a few Pennie’s a day as they are a small business and don’t take govt subsidies and now lots of us have done the same. They only report facts and never opinion. Follow them @mindingottawa

@JohnThomsonSK @mindingottawa Been a subscriber for years, am finding their reporting puts the legacy media to shame
@mindingottawa @GovCanHealth @markhollandlib Call me crazy. But this does not sound like a democracy to me. Certainly not one with an independent media. Which I always thought was a key pillar of a democracy. But. Hey. What do I know?
