How illiterate of you! I did say that we can discuss whether the government should fund media at all. I was just saying that if it must fund it, then how best to fund it. I personally think we should cut media funding completely, but that wasn't the point of the thread. Any literate could have gathered that from the OP.
HOW VERY DECEPTIVE OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are suggesting that the LIE-beral version of Soviet Pravda style limitation of free speech
should be turned into a FREE GIVE AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How very SOVIET and utterly IRRESPONSIBLE OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals have been searching for decades for a way to CURTAIL our freedom of speech.................
and lets face it THAT IS EXACTLY what our LIE-beral sponsored Human Rights Kangaroo Courts are set up to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals consider it THEIR RIGHT to punish us for hurting the feelings of THEIR FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is another article illustrating the scale and scope of LIE-beral religious hypocrisy. With some comments of my own in brackets):
Malala in Lalaland

Two aspects of Malala Yousafzai’s speech delivered to a packed House of Commons April 12 were notable.
The first was her failure to mention Stephen Harper, let alone thank the former prime minister who was behind the move to grant her honorary Canadian citizenship.
(The name of Harper is anathema to LIE-berals anyway and he may also be viewed harshly by Muslims as he was prepared to deal aggressively with Muslim terrorists operating in Canada- a SHARP contrast to LIE-berals who actively court those who would attack us by allowing almost unrestricted entry to refugees from United States and by RESTORING Cdn citizenship to CONVICTED TERRORISTS such as the leader of the Toronto 18! LIE-beral concern for national security is so low they plan to order immigration judges to rubber stamp mass refugee applications without the bother of doing ANY security investigation into the back ground of the new comers! All is well just so long as the new arrivals who have been fast tracked into Cdn citizenship VOTE LIE-beral-in exchange for that preferential treatment!)
But it was what Malala said about Muslims and Islam that was both inaccurate and lacking in total honesty.
Referring to the 2014 killing of Canadian soldier Cpl. Nathan Cirillo by Muslim radical Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, Malala said: “The man who attacked Parliament Hill called himself a Muslim — but he did not share my faith. ... I am a Muslim and I believe that when you pick up a gun in the name of Islam and kill innocent people, you are not a Muslim anymore.”
The problem is Malala’s words, while eloquent, are in conflict with the reality of today, and incompatible with 1,400 years of Islamic history.
Yet it drew applause from the audience, hungry for any medicine that would dull the pain caused by the growing cancer of Islamic terrorism.
That said, when it comes to Islamic history, someone might have asked Malala about the 17th century Ottoman Caliphate’s siege at the Gates of Vienna, or perhaps the 11th century plundering of India by invading Islamic armies of Central Asia.
But since she is all but caged by her PR handlers, the media seldom get to ask her tough questions.
For example, would Malala say the Arab invasions of Persia, Jerusalem, Damascus and Egypt, “had nothing to do with Islam”?
How about the slaughter of Prophet Muhammad’s very own family? Or the assassinations of three of the first four caliphs of Islam by Muslims?
(Asking about and quibbling over various versions of Islam is like arguing over the Catholic Spanish Inquisition and the quarrels with Jews and Protestants. It is not the religion that is to blame; it is the interpretation! And currently a good many Muslims interpret their religion in terms of fire and swords and death! With our LIE-berals SCORNING anybody who wants the radicals weeded out for our safety! Muslims will not be suitable as Cdn citizen until they have made peace with the larger world they are hell bent on destroying!)
Within hours of Malala’s speech, a young Muslim journalism student inspired by Karl Marx and Che Guevara, from Malala’s ancestral Swat region of Pakistan, was lynched.
A Muslim mob of university students accused Mashal Khan Yusufzai of being an Islamophobe. Because he was a Muslim, he had thus, in their view, committed blasphemy.
The 23-year old student was shot, beaten to a pulp and was about to be burned before police intervened, while the bloodthirsty crowd shouted “Allah O Akbar”.
Earlier in the day, as Malala spoke in Ottawa, all MPs, including 12 Muslims who had voted for Pakistan-born MP Iqra Khalid’s motion M-103 against “Islamophobia”, cheered.
When I asked them to comment on the “anti-Islamophobia” lynching in Pakistan, not one responded, not even the three born in that region.
(I have said before that we are NOT well served by foreign born Members of parliament. In these dangerous times the MP job should ONLY be open to those who are born here and committed to staying here and supporting OUR values! Johnny come lately types who come here only for money and who will probably leave for greener pastures as soon as things get awkward should NEVER gain power or influence in our govt!)
(WE would not let firebrand Reverend Ian Paisley in here because he would incite hate of Catholics. We deported dual citizen/Cdn/German Ernst Zundel because he spoke lies about the Jewish Holocaust- so WHY then should we be letting in RABID Muslims? Other than because LIE-berals are BUYING Muslim VOTES!)
If there was any more evidence needed to show how M-103 can be misused as a tool against secular Muslims commenting critically on Islam, Mashal Yusufzai’s death provided it.
What is required from us Muslims is a bit of truth and honesty.
Malala and the rest of us should face the reality of what our Qur’an says when confronting Kaafirs -infidels and Islamophobes, including Muslims like Mashal, who were labelled as such.
Qur’an (47:4) “When you meet the Unbelievers- Kufaar, non-Muslims in fight, smite at their necks; At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly on them.”
Quran (8:12) “Remember your Lord inspired the angels: ‘I am with you: give firmness to the Believers- Muslims: I will instil terror into hearts of the Kufaar. Smite them above their necks, and smite all of their finger tips off them’.”
It is time for all of us to be truthful instead of living in Lalaland.

The war of civilizations continues in Europe
In the latest terrorist attacks, a bomb blew up inside a St. Petersburg subway station, killing 14 Russians, barely a fortnight after a jihadi killed four people in London, England.
(Muslims are at least as dangerous to each other as they are to us! With so many people in the world desperate for a better life-I ask again WHY we should bother kissing up to hate filled Muslims when there are others-calmer-quieter-more peaceful- and thus more deserving- seeking our aid?)
