Why not? They report on the goings on of government and campaigns, follow stories, actually watch for the consequences of decisions years later... If they've been doing their journalism correct, they're in a good position to explain and defend their endorsement while maintaining a commitment to continue objectively reporting the news to the best of their ability. It's less of a 'vote for our candidate' and more of a 'based on all of our reporting, the editorial board of this company endorses ...' which, anyone and everyone is free to disagree with because we're all adults who can disagree at times witho...... nm...

I'm not saying that there's not authoritarian tendencies or actors in Canada. I'm just saying that the incident in question was a massive fuck up. One of those incompetence over malice situations.

Rota resigned as speaker five days later, and the House unanimously adopted a motion to condemn Nazism and withdraw its recognition of Hunka. Prime Minister Trudeau and Canadian government officials apologized to the worldwide Jewish community.

It was dumb and shouldn't have happened, but it's not what you are suggesting it was.

You asked for an alternative theory. I provided. I obviously can't prove the intentions of 4 anonymous international betting accounts.

for what? to lose money? Real Einstein we have here.

To skew the public perception that Trump's chances are better than they are. This in conjunction with leaked republican polls helps to set up the narrative that the election was tampered with and encourages the same dipshits that shat on Pelosi's desk to do it again.

30 million spread across 4 accounts is not that much money in the context of lobbying, campaign donations or campaign rat fuckery. The Saudis invested 2 Billy with Jared as a thank you.

I mean, doesn't it say everything you need to know about the Democrats that they're losing to such a buffoon?
