    Canada needs to adopt laws forcing them to display, on on all their pages, a big “submissive to USA” banner.
    (… and more broadly, for every product, a “x% tainted by USA’s components” label)

        But neither shouldn’t a government. Government independent journalism is also very important

        Exactly. America has stated its goals 1) to destroy Canada’s economy in order to achieve 2) annex us 3) to just take Canada (militarily). There is NO WAY most of the media in the country should be American-owned, it’s already normalizing annexation talk. Enough!!!

        Or better yet, nationalize those papers.

        Holy fuck that’s a scary proposal.
