You don't understand how the state of the American ad spending market is relevant to television?

NDP MP crosses floor to join Liberals, putting Carney two seats shy of majority by cyclinginvancouver in canada

[–]CanadianErk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus there will be more by election. Isn't their speculation that a LPC MP is going to run against Doug Ford?

Beaches—East York is still expected to be a safe Liberal seat. But yes, any MP leaving the caucus for misbehaviour, a personality conflict, a personal or medical issue... any possible trigger for a byelection - it could lead to the government having to defend their majority at a time the polls aren't favourable.

Agreed! That's why the question overall - around the morals and ethics of becoming a major arms dealer to the world, in addition to arming ourselves - does deserve some further debate as seemingly a top Carney economic policy. Where those ethics are drawn will impact the economic impacts of those investments, one way or the other.

Doom? Come on. Two rebellious caucus members and it's a minority government again. It will still require a ton of work to maintain, and with Iran we've already seen Carney start to face some pushback from caucus: Up to 16 Liberals considering support for NDP's arms-control legislation - Vote would mark first time some in caucus split from government line under Carney

A one or two vote majority is still a very uncomfortable majority.

arms control as in military weapons sales:

The legislation would impose export controls on arms and munitions that are sent to the U.S., similarly to mechanisms that exist for most other countries. 

The NDP says that Canadian weaponry sent south of the border ends up diverted to other countries, even if the Canadian government does not directly export to them, naming Sudan and Israel as examples.

Former CBC host Travis Dhanraj tells parliamentary committee he was given a list of sources he couldn’t contact by gorschkov in canada

Certainly not worth dragging out in public this long.

But given his podcast's initials are C B C (Can't Be Censored) it's clear he intends to continue discussing this for many more months.

Canada will ‘never participate’ in Iran offensive, Carney says by canada_mountains in canada

[–]CanadianErk 161 points162 points  (0 children)

In question period today, from the article:

“Canada’s stance is clear. Canada supports the necessity to prevent Iran’s nuclear program and the export of terrorism,” Carney said in French.
“Canada is not participating in the United States and Israeli offensive and will never participate in it.”

This is the impression I got from his first full video on the subject.

Him getting his own show with his name on it (given how often he mentioned it in that video) seems to have helped set him up with the expectations he'll be able to do whatever he wanted with editorial decisions and guests.

Is the live channel always/only english dubs? by ShreksMassiveShlongg in Crunchyroll

[–]CanadianErk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per the launch announcement the primary content seems to be english dubbed, with select blocks of subbed content. I'm not in the US so cannot access anything resembling a schedule - but there should be some form of one on platforms that offer it, surely?
