They being sued for libel and defamation, and now could very well be investigated by the RCMP. Sam Cooper and Global News are about to go through some serious legal issues. | 66 |

| 1639258563788021760 | @MarkBourrie @0CynicalBastard Our MSM are part of the grift, you won’t have a job if you don’t play ball. (See @atRachelGilmore) We ALL can see what conservative governments are doing. They choose to participate in the weakening of our social fabric. I guess they see what’s happening in USA and want that here | 27 |

| 1636936681222701056 | Finally, a robust critique of @CPC_HQ smear politics that have this country locked in a partisan feeding frenzy over a fabricated #electioninteference "scandal" - all in a naked Opposition quest for power, aided and abetted by right wing #CdnMediaFailed Well done @MarkBourrie https://t.co/iTNbReZRI6 | 25 |
| 1637457205619195909 | @MarkBourrie @pmtw1173 Pierre Poilievre has clearly decided that his route to the PMO lies through turning Canadians against each other and outright lies. Much of the Canadian media is playing along with him by insisting that there is some merit to his deceit. | 17 |
| 1636966673709244420 | @MarkBourrie The first time China hosted the Olympics, the event was heralded as a new link between East and West. It was in 2008. Harper was in his second year in office and Bush was in the WH, fighting Islamics in Eye-Rack. China wasn't the enemy. @PierrePoilievre | 16 |
| 1637431340734771203 | @DFisman @MarkBourrie Honestly, we need the strong Canadian content laws in place. Our media should not be owned and controlled by foreign interests. | 15 |
