    Complete global double standard

    If any other country in the world (minus the US) did or does what Israel does … it’s a completely different story.

    Canada is not a significant enough player to give any kind of coloured light to Israel’s actions

      Our politicians should be working on the thousands of unresolved problems IN Canada not trying to craft the perfect tweet about a foreign war.

      Send aide, support the civilian population, stop using it as a source of popularity points.

        You know there’s more than one politician, right?

        Thus, we can do both, and there’s no “but we were solving this other thing first” issue when it comes to external issues since those can be discussed in parallel.

          mediabiasfactcheck.com is useful for it’s “factual” measure of sources, but the right-left spectrum is based on what Americans consider “right” and “left” -so what they consider “far left,” outside America is probably just “left.” They label a lot of international centrist media sources as “left” too. What they consider “least biased” is going to be straight up capitalist.

            I mean…if we’re being real…the only people who do legitimate fact checking are leftists. The right hates the truth which is why the constantly attack the media. The nice thing about MBFC is that the team is international and anyone, anywhere can challenge their conclusions. I tend to very much agree with their ratings on the large, well known media such as the BBC, CBC, Reuters, AP, etc.

      I’d like to introduce you to “opinion articles” where bias is the centre-piece.
