The Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) mocked the Liberal Party’s cozy relationship with mainstream media outlets through a Valentine’s Day-themed social media post.
The CPC posted a graphic of three heart-shaped candies: “Always Mine CBC,” “You are my Toronto Star,” and “TRU-LOV, The Canadian Press.”
“It was love at first sight for Trudeau and his media allies,” the CPC’s post read.
Critics of the Conservative Party’s strategy called the joke insensitive, coming just days after 4,800 Bell Media employees were laid off.
Poilievre calls reporter “a tax-funded mouthpiece to the PMO”
Earlier this week, Conservative Party leader Poilievre got into a heated exchange with a Canadian Press reporter. After the reporter interrupted him multiple times, Poilievre said, “Are you going to let me answer the question or are you just going to heckle on behalf of Justin Trudeau?”
He also called the reporter “a tax-funded mouthpiece to the PMO.”
Several mainstream media outlets regularly publish the exact same hit piece against Poilievre, such as when the CBC, CTV, and the Toronto Star published the exact same hit piece written by Mickey Djuric of the Canadian Press.
Djuric’s article framed Poilievre as a conspiracy theorist due to his positioning against the unelected World Economic Forum.
In the article, Djuric claims that it’s a “debunked conspiracy theory” that the World Economic Forum (WEF) is “attempting to impose its agenda on sovereign governments.”
Media bias no longer a secret
Earlier this year, CTV was caught admitting on live TV that they hoped United Conservative Party leader Danielle Smith would lose Alberta’s provincial election to the left-wing New Democrat Party.
The CBC also failed to ever write about the fact that, during the Emergencies Act Inquiry, it was revealed that PMO and Public Safety staffers conspired to smear the Freedom Convoy protesters before they even arrived in Ottawa — and said their “bosses” supported the idea.
Moreover, the same texts revealed the PMO knew that a mainstream media hit piece on the protesters was coming out before it was eventually published by former Global News reporter Rachel Gilmore.
The CBC has been lambasted for its biased reporting, including from multiple former employees.
