Some MPs have been quick to denounce the idea.

"You know, it's kind of frightening to me that the neo-conservatives are going to have their own dedicated network," said NDP MP Pat Martin.

Libs are the same everywhere...no speech for thee.

If the new network bases itself in Toronto or Ottawa, escaping that might be impossible no matter who is on the air, he said.

They need to make a statement by basing it out of Calgary.

A good idea. Don't know how it will work in practice.

FoxNews can count on American conservatives taking similar views on foreign policy.

Canadian conservatives may be more divided on how closely they want to follow America's lead.

If it’s a private-sector channel, it could find itself in the same interesting problem as Fox News; no competition for the 50% (+ or -) of the market, while the liberal broadcasters fight over the remaining portion of the market like wild dogs fighting over scraps from a garbage can in the alley.

If you think of it, the irony of all this is what a conservative Canadian channel’s programming would be. Think less “issue oriented”, then to all the other things that conservatives like.

Things like patriotism, marriage and family, freedom and liberty, common courtesy, self-improvement, law and order, respect for religion, respect for elders, respect for veterans and the military, good if limited government, plenitude and prosperity for all.

You can see why liberals would be so afraid of this. This is a litany of the things they hate, despise, demean and wish to destroy.

The latest from the left is that the new entity would not be able to attract enough ad money to remain viable. What does that mean.....that Conservatives have no money? They also never seemed to have this concern about ad dollars or content when Al Jazeera was getting licensed.
