The Crown Corporation pot calling the kettle black: The CBC attacks The Post Millennial? – June 27, 2019,
The problem with the upcoming election is that appears that change is in the air and again I think people forget that Justin Trudeau won the Federal election entirely because of name recognition. Most voters voted for Trudeau because of what his dad meant to Canadian politics. But make no mistake about it, if Justin Trudeau’s name was something else, chances are Stephen Harper would have served another term.
With that said, the internet has given rise to fact checking and the history of things, if you’re a Leftist in the modern era, chances are you don’t read that often and you use the internet entirely for entertainment purposes. The reality is the CBC is a Leftist propaganda machine that fears it’s days are numbered. Now, personally, I don’t read that many articles on The Post Millennial unless I need to comprehend the news that’s been posted on MSM that I need more information about.
CBC, Global News, CTV, The Huffington Post, and the TheStar.com often write articles from a Politically left-leaning perspective, it annoys me the most when MSM does this regarding economic issues, something I take very seriously and in order for me to comprehend things from an Austrian economics perspective I’ll then employ either the Financial Post or The Post Millenial. I actually prefer the Financial Post because even Keynesians understand Austrian economics, but the MSM in Canada is dominated by Socialists and reading their material is extremely annoying because they often skip over the important details and focus on why the Government is justified to socially engineer people and redistribute Canadians incomes for some mystical greater good cause.
The Real Reason The CBC is attacking The Post Millennial
Now, if you’re reading this and you do not understand why the CBC is attacking The Post Millennial, well the answer is simple, similar to me, The Post Millennial has little to no presence on social media, The Post Millennial is being shared on Social media, but their platform, unlike most Conservative Platforms, isn’t reliant on Social Media. TheRebel is heavily reliant on social media, the make videos are active on social media whereas The Post Millennial writes articles.
Articles can be printed and saved, not everyone is willing to download a Youtube video and if TheRebel is banned from Facebook or Twitter it’s going to hit hard, whereas with The Post Millennial you’d have to get a global court order and seize their website “backpage” style to silence them. The written word is more powerful than speeches, then videos than anything, because writing something gives the reader a chance to imagine and exercise their mind. Leaders are readers!
I’ve written about this before, Alex Jones got kicked off of social media which forced him to work off his own platform, this might sound bad, but it’s actually the best way to go, because at the very least the end result will be that these authoritarians will have to show their true colors, if they want to do anything else to him. Infowars is off all the major social media platforms.
Modern-day Leftist want to control everything, if you haven’t been paying attention that’s what it’s all about, on the outside it looks like they’re trying to stop Facebook because Facebook is allowing bad things to happen on its platform, but the truth is this has nothing to do with Facebook or social media, this has to do with the CBC and the entire MSM brainwashing the public. The Liberal and Leftist governments, want a dumbed down public. Smart people are dangerous, have you ever been in a room full of civilized smart people? You better have something to say or they’ll tune you out quickly, the fear of the Left is that everyday people, namely YOUNG people can comprehend both sides of the Political Argument.
Of course in the minds of CBC employees, they feel justified in brainwashing people, they’re doing their brainwashing for the greater good, they’ll convince themselves, that those of us on the Political Right are racists and nothing we say or write about has any truth or value to it. The sad part about life is that once you stop learning, once you stop listening, once you’ve become the know it all, the world passes you by, and as this transition happens, even if you don’t know it’s happening, you can feel it, you can feel the energy in the air shifting away from you and it’s shifting in a direction that you’ve chosen to ignore and are now an infant in comprehending. The MSM, Leftism lost its steam after the end of World War 2.
After a war, people will sue for peace, people will accept totalitarianism as long as the war ends, this is basically how a lot of countries like Canada became progressive. The citizens wanted peace and security and Pierre Trudeau as an example appeared to bring that to the Canadian people, during that period a large segment of the Canadian population didn’t seem to care about the costs for allowing the government to control entire industries like health care and things at least on the surface seemed to work themselves out.
The problem is, Canada’s socialist “utopia” is coming to an end, it actually came to an end a long time ago, but fiat money and the assumption that deficits don’t matter have a way of making people believe that things are fine. The problem is things aren’t fine, recently the government launched a program where first-time homebuyers could get a government loan to use as a down payment on mortgage LMAO! (If that’s not funny to you, I’m sorry that’s hilarious to me)
Now, from my perspective, if the housing market is this bad, shouldn’t we consider getting rid of CMHC? Could it be that this low or zero downpayment experiment didn’t work out as planned? Prices went up, housing is less affordable now, could it be that government intervention didn’t work out as planned? Why is the government helping to inflate the housing market?
You see I’m looking at things from an Austrian economics perspective, MSM, the CBC approaches this from a Progressive perspective, “no” they’ll tell themselves “The problem isn’t CMHC, the problem is that prices are too high! and prices are high because of greedy capitalists”. The flaw in capitalism in case people forget is MARKET CRASHES! DEFLATION! In capitalism prices go up, prices come down, in capitalism your results typically revolve around the relationships you form. The more relationships you build, the more trades you make, the less reliance you’ll have on money.
Tax evasion happens primarily by people purchase cash flowing assets, which is something governments encourage rich people to do. Most rich people don’t have any money in the traditional sense, but you see if you’re only hearing the socialist portion of the argument, this would be impossible for you to comprehend, another thing missed by socialists is that Businesses are usually in debt. Sure a corporation might post sales numbers, but unless that company is public trading, the average person won’t be able to dive into that private data. CMHC actually increased the pool of mortgage buyers, and the federal government created the conditions that make it more sensible for a developer to build a condo instead of rental housing.
If fewer people qualified for a mortgage, meaning there were no government subsidies to get into the real estate market, the real estate market be fueled by actual demand, instead of government stimulation that comes from down-payments not being aligned with what the banks actually want from buyers? Furthermore, when consumers purchase a home and put down 20% of their hard earned income don’t consumers typically make more demands to the developers? Renting isn’t that a bad a thing if there’s an abundance of rentals, renting gets more expensive when what should be rental units are built as high rise condominiums.
It’s a lot harder for people to launder money in rental housing, it’s a lot easier to launder money in a condominium, but you see when the CBC tells the money laundering stories, they frame it as Rich foreigners buying up Canadian property, what’s ignored are the conditions of why all of these condominiums are being built in the first place.
These condominiums are being built primarily because the Canadian government created more of an incentive to build Condos than it did to build Rental housing. Real estate can be used to launder money a lot easier than can Rental housing can. This is common sense, however, if you subscribe to Leftist politics, their side of the story is that the Government isn’t the problem, their perspective is that the Private Sector is the problem and this my friend is part of the reason why a government news broadcaster felt the need to attack the Post Millenial.
How is The Post Millennial becoming so influential so quickly? It baffles the CBC because they’re obsessed with controlling the narrative, they’re obsessed with keeping people brainwashed. I remind Canadians reading this, I’ve said this plenty of times if Crown Corporations were counted as Public Servants Canada is well over the 30% mark.
Meaning that 30% of the INCOME taxes collected in Canada come from the Public Sector, this is extremely dangerous for the Canadian economy if there’s an economic downturn, because Government workers typically don’t get fired and aren’t willing to take a pay cut! Private companies can go bankrupt, Public Sector workers especially unionized Public Sector employees will BANKRUPT a country before they get fired! When you can’t fire or get rid of the people that won’t allow your economy to deflate or reset, you get the Argentina problem.
Cutting the size of government is called AUSTERITY, in Argentina, if a politician even considers cutting the size of government there’s an uproar in society. Argentina has a currency problem, now if you know the history of European nations like Italy, prior to the creation of the Euro, the Italian lira was so devalued that it was basically worthless outside of Italy. Now the Italian lira had been around since 1861 but the Italian government got bigger and bigger and in order to finance their big government, the Italian government had to devalue its currency, SOCIALISM, remember Fascism is National socialism, if you follow the money, you’ll notice a pattern of when governments go broke, the conservatives want to cut government spending and socialists want to justify expanding government spending.
Recently Doug Ford didn’t even request to cut the size of government, he only asked for fiscal responsibility in Public spending and the public servants have basically tried to label him as Hitler! Now, I want to remind people who are thinking what’s the big deal if around 30% of the employed people in Canada work for the government? Well, my dear friend don’t forget about the people on Welfare! Don’t forget people on Welfare can vote and they do vote, also a lot of people on welfare or people reliant on the government for their survival will vote for the person who promises them free crap.
We live in a democracy after all, and in our democracy, laws can be changed and rights violated to suit the demands of the MOB!
Maxime Bernier mentioned an interaction with a particular group of Muslims, who asked Maxime Bernier for special perks if they vote for him. These special interest groups exist, welfare recipients are a special interest group, Public Servants, which include Crown Corporations are a special interest group, yes, things seem great now, but don’t make the mistake of assuming that Canada isn’t currently bankrupt.
We’re bankrupt, we survive because there’s a global belief that we’ll be able to pay our bills, but if BoC interest rates are forced up or forced down, things are going to get very interesting in Canada and because of CBC brainwashing, a large portion of Canadians are not going to understand why the Canadian economy crashed or how to fix it, because The Post Millennial and actual news outlets that give a different perspective on life were denied their chance to voice their opinions.
Of course, I hate socialism, but I’d rather they be free to voice their opinions, but on that same token I want people who believe in a free enterprise or capitalistic system to be able to voice their point of view also, this is how we build the best societies. I read socialist material because I already know how Conservatives and Libertarians think, of course as individuals we all have differing opinions on certain topics, but as people on the Political Right, we care enough about each other that we won’t allow a voice to be silenced. We’d much rather challenge, debate and talk it out. Whereas with the CBC, they want to control what you say, control how you say it and put regulations in place to silence anyone they disagree with. It’s June 2019 and they’ve already attacked The Post Millennial! think about that WOW!
Congrats to The Post Millennial! you’re doing something right!
