The Conservative propaganda machine, Sun News, has been accused of biased reporting in favor of the Harper government, biased reporting against environmental causes, racism, and being an enemy of the arts -- and now "Fox News North" is petitioning to be on every TV in Canada.
When the channel started in 2011, Sun News claimed that it would never demand the Canadian Radio-Television Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) make it part of the mandatory basic cable package, as it would be a tax on all Canadians. But now the right-wing cable company is doing just that, casting off its supposed free-market principles in a bold bid to push its ideology into every Canadian household. Effectively, this "tax" paid for by Canadian cable subscribers would amount to a public subsidy of $20 million dollars per year even though its parent company, Quebecor, is the biggest newspaper owner in Canada. The CRTC will decide to approve or reject Sun News' petition in a week.
Make your voice heard: Consumers do not want to be "taxed" to pay for "Fox News North" to be on every Canadian TV.
Sun News' political bias is no surprise -- Stephen Harper's former Director of Communications leads the channel, and Sun News effectively works as the Conservative party's propaganda wing. However, news bias is just the beginning, as the channel also has a history of hatemongering.
Sun News' vitriol is led by Ezra Levant, who has a long track record of offending various ethnic groups. His opinion piece against Roma people was removed after groups complained to the Toronto Police about hate speech, describing the broadcast as "one of the longest and most sustained on-air broadcasts of hate speech against any community in Canada that we've witnessed." Idle No More protesters confronted him for being racist against First Nations, and he stood proud while wearing a niqab on air and called the traditional wear a "body bag" while his crew members giggled audibly.
When not offending Canadians, he leads sustained and factually questionable attacks against environmentalists such as David Suzuki. His partner-in-hate, Krista Erickson, is notorious for bullying a modern dancer about arts funding. That interview so upset Canadians that the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council recorded double its usual complaints.
CRTC has complete discretion to deny new channels to be on basic package. It is currently receiving public comments on whether to grant Sun News mandatory carriage. Let the CRTC know that you do not want Sun News in your living rooms.

I'm outta here
Deviant Art can go fuck itself. If you want to bring back the Victorian era, do it without my help. That's 8 fucking years I'll never get back. If there are any followers who haven't quit dA yet, bye. Thanks for your support. If you wish to read Swim Team, go to my Wordpress account of the same name. D/A has decided after having my love story posted for seven years that it is porn. I will remove the few chapters that they haven't, in a timely fashion, within the next seven years. Strange that this shit happens after Murica choses a raving lunatic for a president. To those in the majority who voted for someone else, do whatever it takes to rid

Federal Cabinet breaking major election promise
From the dogwood initiative org...
This morning I took the SkyTrain out to the Hilton Hotel at Metrotown, where Ottawa’s latest Kinder Morgan rubber-stamp review is going through the motions in Burnaby.
Unlike you, most British Columbians don’t know the Canadian federal cabinet is breaking a major election promise. How can we get the word out in the middle of summer holidays? The best way is through targeted social media, but that costs money:
$27 can put an article or video in front of 2,000 to 5,300 Facebook users
$55 can help us reach 4,100 to 11,000 British Columbians
$120 can help us reach up to 24,000 people
