A lot of what the Toronto Star writes doesn’t make a lot of sense when you compare it to the National Post and it’s Conservative support. Maybe the weather outside makes sense. You can’t take that out of concept. But when you’re only seeing things through red sunglasses well, that makes it hard see or read. The Editorial title reads, “Province must help with costs” So, that means that the Ontario Govt. should be helping Colleges and Universities with the money they’ve lost due to Covid19. In particular, Laurentian University. I’m not really sure why they think you should know about this, but I doubt anyone’s paying attention. Am I being sarcastic?
Well, yea I am. You can stop reading if you want. But if you want to know more, keep reading. I’m not usually rude to people. They are holding this government responsible for this funding crisis because well, It cut tuition costs by 10%, It did nothing to try to make up for the ten percent loss, which they say cost $440 million. So what? Governments don’t go bankrupt do they? for these past two years and a bit this government has been doing it’s best to try to cut costs in several areas of Government programs and this is one of them. This is because of a previous liberal government that ran spending through the roof! And I wonder,
Why doesn’t this Editorial Board explain that!
This is a very significant reason for cutting back on costs. The Star would like you to Tax, tax, tax, spend, spend, spend and if you have to, run a deficit. And it holds this government responsible for not. Wait for the shock they get when they find out that this government won’t be paying anything in the next budget.
“The provincial budget later this month is the time to do that.”
Since they’re interested in wanting something done in this budget, I thought maybe they could offer a comment on the federal liberals and their budget. When was it? March 19, 2019. Nearly two years ago. There comes a time when you must see right from wrong, not liberal and Conservative. Which is why when you compare these two newspapers Toronto Star to National Post, there’s so much of a big difference between the two. Read the Post and you’ll actually get Common Sense. Not the Star who after the gory details from Jody Wilson Raybould at the Justice Committee had a whole bunch of letter writers saying things like: “I blame the Opposition.” and “Jody should be kicked out of the liberal caucus.”
Read the Post and you’ll actually get Common Sense.
Read the Star today and you won’t see what people are thinking of or what they’re concerned about. How ’bout the weather, well, that’s on the front page. A Star exclusive on TTC and it’s Law Enforcement Officers plus a Police Officer maybe. Read more and you’ll see something about Harry and Meghan and their interview with Oprah Winfrey. I think that’s what on people’s mind, not Colleges and Universities. People tend to identify with these places as having money and that the small little guy who’s running a small business is the one who needs the help.
Now read the NP and you’ll see this, letters from writers who have something to say on Meghan Markle and Buckingham Palace. I think even in all this controversy the Queen is an honorable lady that people can look up too. I have the upmost respect for her, and for Prince Charles. My Mom and Dad have had a personal conversation with him at Fort York Armouries. Another letter asks why Canada is 43rd in vaccine rollout. The Front page calls China as being a threat to Canada. These are the things that matter to Canadians. Not Colleges and Universities. Not over money issues, there’s no government that runs out of money. When a reader calls in he/she is usually responding to a story written a few days earlier on a topic. That should dictate what’s on people’s minds. But if you read letters to the editor you’ll read this, A shot taken at a Conservative MP. Derek Sloan, on the issue of abortion, cars not being the problem in creating climate change, and that the Ontario NDP (that’s Andrea Horvath) sees new cars going electric by 2035. I’ll bet against that. The Star is already offering opinion on Meghan Markle and Prince William and they’re taking their shots at the Queen. They may want to think twice about that because there’s millions of Canadians who loved Princess Diana and love the Queen as well. Don’t be taking any shots at her, she’s a classy woman. And Royalty. I think we should have a Monarchy, even with all the perqs and privileges that come with it.
You can still have integrity with everything else you know.
Read the Front Page of the NP and you’ll read what everyone wants to read. How about the genocide by the Chinese Government against Uyghur people. Is this a bad story? Yes, I think it is. But it’s what matters to Canadians as well. I don’t want to say much more about this. You get the point. This is what people want to read. Let me finish with this.
The book I read about Canada’s Conservatives offers some advice on how on how Government and Media work together. You’d be surprised. And the Star follows right along in this line of thinking. Of course when you’re a Conservative MP you’re roadkill. But listen to this. One of the ways media colour, distort, take out of context, or just lie about is forget the subject and focus on the background. Take Jean Chretien for example. Most media liked him when he was PM because he was a likable guy. Compare him to Stockwell Day, the guy who looked like he was wearing a skin suit. Stephen Harper and his big belly, or that he looked angry or serious all the time? during the Gomery Inquiry, Chretien had to appear before the committee to tell his version of what happened. And he did. Before he arrived, here’s some headlines on what the newspapers had to say: “Le P’tit Gars de Shawinigan Is Back,” trumpeted the Globe and Mail. “Chretien’s Revenge against the Westmount Snobs” CTV News.
Does this sound like someone you’re going to hang out to dry?
Probably not. Read more. On the day when the most juiciest testimony appeared at the Gomery Inquiry, reading about Harper’s anger management skills was deemed more important than Jean Chretien and the Gomery Inquiry. Talk about cover up. Today, if you read into Justin Trudeau, you’ll find he’s in a lot more trouble than Jean Chretien was, there’s another Minority Parliament, Justin just can’t be trusted, he’s not as smart. One way that the Media covers up is to not report on certain issues. Ask people about who Erin O’Toole is and they won’t tell you much. And that fault can fall on this Editorial Board. They won’t mention anything about him, but wait until he becomes the Prime Minister and they’ll hate him because well, he’s a Conservative PM. Are they suppose to? No. They shouldn’t. And I wouldn’t work for someone where I can’t give my opinion. The idea of a journalistic magazine or newspaper is to write about the stuff that (should) matter to people. It is a utility to inform us of Government policy, and decisions that actually affect our lives. An Opinion piece that tells of a money crisis at a University should force the Government to pay back the money it cut from Colleges and Universities. Ten percent of it. This is not the Government’s fault. This is the time when we should be cutting back. Because of the previous liberal Government’s spending. And Debt.
The most glaring part of this Opinion is that it doesn’t mention anything whatsoever about Debt. And that this government has a duty and responsibility to bring everybody in the Province of Ontario out of debt, so taxes don’t go up. In the future. If this Editorial Board wants to help, it can do so by writing a column on the federal government and the last budget they tabled. Which was March 19, 2019. That’s two years ago. Will they have anything to say? I doubt it. And that explains why very few people read it.
