IMO, it had little affect on how Canadians voted in last night's election. First off, one needs to order the channel if it is to be part of a cable/satellite package. Therefore, I don't believe many Canadians view it. I suspect that in the end, the Conservatives struck a chord with the core values of many here. Throw into the mix the liberal corruption and BS. People are starting to warm up to Harper ... and it will continue.
"Throw into the mix the liberal corruption and BS.and BS."
I know very little about Canadian politics. Can you give me some overview or links so I can read about the liberal corruption scandals?
Thanks for any help.
I hop you are right. A canadian friend of mine (admittedly a lib) indicatd that he thought this didn't represent a "sea change" in canadian politices, only a protest vote against liberal corruption. His implication is that in the next vote, the libs will be back in power. He may be right. Course that may just be a loser's sour grapes.
If anything, Ailes and Murdock ought to start a Fox News Canada. I've seen quite a few conservative Canadians from the media on shows like O'Reilly and I've read their stuff in various forums and publications. Make it a net that focuses on Canada of course but mix in some of the Fox stuff from Fox News USA including some of the Foxes that work at Fox News.
I know the CBC is a leftist tool for the Liberanos in Canada and I used to watch it often on Newsworld International until it became the dull and boring Algore channel here in the states. Sometimes I'll watch it online because they do a heck of better job than any of the US news networks at covering international news without instantly blaming the USA for the worlds problems.
