"Kim Campbell and Jean Chretien resume the Liberal dynasty for another decade. Conservatives prevailed for almost the next decade under Paul Martin and his successor Steven Harper"
Kim was Con PM for what a few weeks?, Martin was a liberal all his life, and Harper got in mainly because Layton was from Quebec(used a cane like Lucien B) and Ignatieff was a joke. Harper pandered too much to Quebec, but at least he had a brain. I recall Oct 31, 2007(?), when ironically I was in Quebec City and it snowed about 10 inches, me in dress shoes :), quite a time on my laptop that day...
Personally Quebec should be banned from having PM's for 20+ years, its a foreign country and they are stealing from Canada every grant, every subsidy, civil code, tax laws and rules in land transfers which are written to benefit Quebec.
Harper was able to get Canada more or less recovered from PET's policies, but it will take another 30 years after Justin goes away. Not a fan of Chretien (He cancelled the GST, didnt he?) but he at least put Canada on his top 5(maybe 3) priority list.
Not being Canadian, I won't comment on specifics. That said I agree with the basic premise-collusion between media and government favoring the Liberal (what does that even mean?) point of view. We see it in the U.S. as our clearly compromised president is insulated by a mass media that refuses to do its job. The Fourth Estate has given itself over entirely to the Liberal narrative. It astounds me, the degree to which we are afflicted with self-loathing, as well as the rate at which we are dismantling the foundations of our society and in the final analysis, our civilization.
Control the media, you didnt mention that CBC's budget also allows 2 things..
Produces lots of French TV, so they dont have to just watch tv from France or dubbed US shows
They also keep much of the media in line by advertising $'s, if any media doesnt follow the narrative no CBC advertising, and they advertise a lot ....
Playing loose with history imo
