@rodmickleburgh Finish off Vancouver. Lmao! Kennedy Stewart nearly finished off Vancouver. All the other mayoral candidates will certainly pick up where he left off. 4 more years of Sim the only way to keep moving forward.
YOU GO @BenMulroney !!
This is exactly why trust in Canadian media is in the toilet.
A group of young men in Victoria, BC, harass women enjoying a sunset near Beacon Hill Park. One pulls a machete. People get seriously injured. Straight-up life-threatening violence.
CBC in BC? Crickets. Zero coverage.
But a white guy having a meltdown with racist comments at a Costco in Halifax? Wall-to-wall coverage.
The priorities are completely backwards. Media obsessed with narrative over public safety. They’ll bend over backwards to avoid certain stories while amplifying others that fit the script.
After years of this selective reporting, Canadians aren’t stupid. We see the pattern: downplay the violence, protect the narrative, and pretend everything is fine.
Real journalism would report the facts without fear or favour. Instead we get this.
Media like this cannot be trusted. Period.

If only there was some common trait that would allow Canada to identify and target such criminals.
If only Canadians started talking about 'per capita' offences of certain groups.
If only we didn't have judges who give shorter sentences to immigrants so they won't be deported.
If only.
I’ve been living immersed in South Korea for the last month with my wife and daughter.
We just leave the stroller outside if we go in anywhere.
Because no one’s going to steal it.
I met a friend for lunch. He rode his bicycle. He just left it outside in an alley without a lock.
It was still there 2 hours later.
Another friend mistakenly left his phone on a park bench. When he finally retraced his steps and went back 4 hours later, his iPhone was still there.
I walked by a KPop concert. The fans who traveled from outside of Seoul to attend just left their luggage outside the subway station. No locks. No security.
Koreans take this for granted. They don’t realize this is not normal for most the world, especially America.
When I ask about it, they just respond, “of course, why would someone take it?”
Can you imagine any of these things happening or being possible in NYC or LA or *insert city*?
And IF, something were to be stolen in Korea, the police would investigate. Because in a high trust society, rules and norms matter.
There’s no “under $1000” law.
Theft is theft.
And trust is trust.
Will this social norm ever be possible in America?
@guyfelicella@seanorr When someone is intoxicated and gets in a fight on the street they go to jail. When a junkie smokes fent in the doorway of a business and passes out with his pants around his ankles he’s gently asked to move along. Strange double standard
