I think this question can only be answered by those directly effected by the genocide, families of the survivors, and the First Nation communities still dealing with the fallout from events that continued far-too recently into Canada's past.

It's state owned, but I can just as easily say that a private company with a profit motive is equally, if not more susceptible to bias or external influence. Regardless, for international coverage CBC is exceptional.

News...paper? Is the next poll going to be what brand of film do you prefer?

I basically read all of the news to keep my biases in check, but the most reliable sources continue to be BBC, Reuters, NPR, Politico, CBC, and Al Jazeera for most articles outside of their respective immediate spheres of influence. I

Literally ten seconds of research can inform you that public transit is by far the most environmentally friendly way to get around, barring walking or riding a bike. Every person taking the bus is an added source of CO2 not running.

And you don't think that the gas you put in your car isn't a product of one of the most heavily subsidised industries in the world?

By that logic, we should cut healthcare because most people aren't hospitalised.

Some people have no choice but to use public transit, be it for health or financial reasons. The rest of us have that choice.

Did you know they literally pump people full of radiation to "treat" cancer?

How dare those doctors do something like that. Just monstrous.

I'm not a doctor, by the way, but I saw that on a YouTube video that affirmed my preexisting beliefs with cherry-picked numbers and lies by omission. People should do their own research, like me, and reject anything coming from peer-reviewed sources. After all, I'm basically an expert because I listened to that full JRE podcast with that one discredited doctor and take a full bottle of Vitamin D weekly.

Every one of those cases gets headlines and drastically shifts the optics of how few there actually are.

If you took every single misidentified COVID diagnosis or death and multiplied it by a thousand, those numbers would still be statistically insignificant compared to the actual hospitalisations and deaths. But because individual cases with details make headlines on reactionary blogs and pages, compared to nameless thousands who are actually sick and dying, people think the numbers must be equitable.

Not to mention, if we wrote off every single programme because of fraud or lies we'd all be sitting in dirt holes. Do we scrap the entire military because there's cases of lies covered up? Do we scrap the justice system because there's miscarriage of justice? Does a class cheating on a test mean the material being taught is no longer valid anywhere?

No, we try and improve the systems we have to reduce those instances.

mRNA has been studied at length for over two decades resulting from SARS.

But I'm not going to argue because it's clear you think you know more than the vast majority of medical professionals with decades of experience who overwhelmingly agree the vaccine is safe. Neither of us are experts, but now because the internet gives anyone a voice, everyone believes they understand terms that require years of study in highly specialised fields.

I'm not going to pretend I understand it. But I'm not arrogant enough to think that my opinion is as valid as the ones that are actually informed, who by orders of magnitude agree the vaccine is worth getting.

I just buy a bigger vehicle every year and wonder why I keep sliding through reds.
