Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Serious Question about Trump "Coverage".

How does the CBC, and other Canadian media report on, and about Donald Trump?

wabigoon;
Top of the morning to you sir, I hope this finds you well.

Anyone who's listened to any CBC program will know that they have a very strong leftist bias and in their handling of the current US President they keep true to course.

That said, I would opine that overall it might be a tad more subdued than some of the US news channels we occasionally watch.

There's a fine line we walk up here as we balance keeping a separate identity from our southern neighbors while maintaining each other as major trade partners.

Our economic fortunes are inexorably linked to our relationship with the US and smarter Canucks don't forget that.

All the best to you all in the upcoming week wabigoon.

The CBC has the "liberal agenda" it speaks for itself.
Many Canadians like Trump and agree with his policies.
His...
made in usa/gun control/immigration/illegals...policies are being noticed here by the people, we need the same policies here and quit destroying the fabric of this nation.

I've never heard a good thing about him on tv here. Pretty much anti trump.

Here at home I'm a staunch Conservative (i.e. equivalent to Republican light). In spite of this I think the media here devotes too much space to Trump. For a smart business man he doesn't seem to be able to identify his own shortcomings and do anything to correct them. I get tired of hearing about some of his crazy ideas and his egotism.

I really believe he is going cause major problems in the world before he is done.

What sort of "major problems" are you referring to?
Whats a "crazy idea"??

In the 2016 election we were offered two unpalatable choices. Given that, my support was for the one most likely to be impeached and that was and is, Donald Trump.
Reporting on Trump's actions is mostly negative but it's pretty hard to find anything positive to report. We are still waiting for the day that the president refrains from telling a lie or saying something stupid on Twitter. GD

They all say stupid things that hedge the truth, obama did that constantly pertaining to firearms to further his agenda.
I think tightening border security is a positive news story, dont you?

It's a smokescreen intended to salve national paranoia and it's implementation of dubious value. Ultimately, it becomes another example of Americans turning away from freedom and liberty in the interest of "security". Obama did distort the facts to fit his agenda but did not indulge in the transparent falsehoods to no apparent purpose that Trump seems to favour. It is almost embarrassing to listen to a Trump news conference.
In many ways, it would be nice if he could turn it around because there is great potential for significant economic benefits from an administration which is pro-American regarding business. I would imagine that all of those big companies who have their goods manufactured in China or other offshore locales might disagree with this.
Don't misunderstand, I am thrilled that Hillary was blocked out. I just wish the alternative could have been someone with a small amount of integrity.
Trump will start getting positive press when he starts producing positive press and resisting the urge to look stupid. GD

I see my Canadian friends mostly have a realistic view of Trump and his policies - that he is a dangerous, unstable, and ignorant psychopath that is going to cause major global problems if he isn't stopped. Fortunately, many people who were deluded by his grand promises are now seeing him as the lying egomaniac that he is and taking measures to get rid of him. Our big question now is whether he just quits and takes his toys home when he realises that he is ineffective and his approval rating is in the mud, whether he will stroke out or die of a heart attack, or whether he will be impeached. Doesn't much matter as long as it happens sooner rather than later.
We American people were forced to choose between 2 terrible politicians and let this be our wake-up call that we must do better. It's not just liberals who hate him...

Not all your "Canadian friends" agree with you. Trump will make mistakes but he is a breath of fresh air who looks like he will do a lot of good. Fixing a corrupt system will take time and there will be a lot of turmoil as it happens.

Thanks greydog
Lets give him a chance, he does say stupid things, lets see if he does stupid things. I for one would like to see more quality goods made in the USA available here, I'm willing to pay more. I would rather see stuff made in Canada but,,,, I hope that will follow as a spin off from his made in USA policies and I'm hoping its gonna help here too.
Looks like he's a man of his word...

No.

I think he is a master at playing/using the media while getting to the job at hand. Time will tell, but he was easily the best/only choice. That anyone could think Hilary was the answer astounds me!

Last years US election was a case of making a choice between two poor candidates. I'm just glad I wasn't voting in that one. There are times we have been faced with similar circumstances and it was a case of holding your nose and picking one. Trump may have some good ideas but he certainly does not make a good salesman.
As one old saying goes "may you live in interesting times".

I think Trump will be good over all for the usa... look at the reverse the big 3 pulled in sending plants to Mexico. I think he sees the big picture but loses sight off the minutia of the message. ... and that makes him come off as crass and arrogant.
I like his stance on illegals, America first, guns etc.... but he definitely needs to work on how he delivers the message and definitely has to let the media roll like water off a ducks back. SNL skits and his reaction to them are cringeworthy. ..

I am happy he got elected just to know Hillary cried and the media got called out. We are no better off here.

He reminds me of Reagan and star wars. Now most everyone seems to agree he was right 35 years later.

I'm on the Trump wagon as he's trying to clean up the mess for the common folk and turn America back to where it used to be. But nothing is simple in politics and all the freeloaders and egotists will fight changing the gravy train.
Media has made politics for too long, and they don't want to lose control, so they'll try their best to put him down.
We have the same problem up here where the media attempts to create the news.

You need to look at the press as it currently is. It will not give Trump anything positive no matter what. They are an arm of the democrat party. Until you realize that, you can't comprehend anything about what is really happening. miles

He has yet to produce a positive message which can be reported on. I would love to see him announce his plan to stop the offshore outsourcing of jobs but we are not seeing that. I would love to see him use facts rather than falsehoods to rebut his critics. I know the press has a liberal bias but he is making it easy for them. He is digging himself a hole. GD

He has stopped Ford from moving a factory to Mexico already.

Exactly,,
take a moment to see who own/controls this propaganda machine we call the media,, and who gave them the job of holding any government "accountable" anyways...isn't that the job of the people?

I think banning various media from press conferences is positive too, I get ruffled up when I get force fed phoney garbage by a bunch of poor losers. suck it up and wait your 4 years.

Tonight, Donald Trump took a big step forward and gave the media and voters something positive to talk about. Now, if he can stay off Twitter, he'll have taken much of his opponent's ammunition away from them. A good speech. GD

The CBC lately has been going out of its way to paint Trump as a bumbling idiot.

I think most Canadians don't realize that our country stands to lose thousands of jobs due to Trump's policies. Good for the USA taxpayers but hard on the Canadian economy.

That is not to say Clinton would have been a better choice as I think she would have been a disaster for the entire world.

In general the outcome of the last USA federal election was a "no-win" for Canada regardless who won. If we still had a strong federal government up here who could negotiate with Trump I think e would have been in a good position. I have no faith whatsoever however that the Shiny Pony & company can compete for jobs at an international level.

What happened to my freedom and liberty when i am forced to pay for health care, education, food etc for foreigners and illegal aliens? 82% of the immigrants are on welfare.

You are concerned about their freedoms, not mine. But then again, they vote dimocrap.

Yes, we need to be free under hillary, and be 40 trillion in debt in 8 yrs.

Let me know when Japan and China and Mexico adopt open border policy and start importing those wonder muzzies.



PS, taxpayers in the US spend over $4 billion a Week servicing the interest on our debt.

Samsung and other companies have recently announced they will be starting multi billion dollar expansions in the US due to Trumps pro business agenda.

The policies of the liberals increase redtape and antibusiness rules, and a service economy in order to bankrupt the US and bring it down in order to facilitate their one world order agenda. The method is known as the Cloward Piven communist inspired stragety to destroy us Obama used so well.

The normal libs are too stupid to see they are following the pied piper to destruction, as they followed Hitler, another antigun antihunting socialist. If it hadnt been for the decency of christian Americans Germany and Japan would no longer exist. If they had been defeated by the likes of Russia or China they would have been pillaged to extinction and a part of those nations now.

You are congenitally stupid. Trump can only get his message out to those who support him through Twitter. If not for that, we would know nothing of what he says.

If you will remembered, the press, left and rinos are against him. Funny how so many idiots think they could do better.

The world, and that includes Canada, has hope only because of Trump. Libs like hillary are all in step with the one world order and things wont be nice when those take over.

There is a reason Ukraine is resisting. The world is not rushing to immigrate to Russia. Putin has pretty much raped her to become very wealthy.

PS greydog, what happened to the story about the Russians having hacked the election for Trump. You wouldnt recognize genius if it hit you in the face.

You think Putin wouldnt rather deal with biotch for sale hillary than Trump, as he has had his way with zero?

Zero was single handedly destroying our nuclear arsenal. For $16.5 million hillary oked the sale of our largest uranium mine to russia, and oked the deal to let Boeing build jets for russia, saudi arabia, indonesia. Then she gave the ok for Boeing to rebuild the Iranian air force.

When you see a liberal press supporting a certain group, its time to go the other way. Youre stupid to think the give a dammed about you.

P fuggin S. Apprehensions of illegals are down 50% the last two months with increased efforts to apprehend and export same.

No big deal for you but in 7 or so years illegals committed over 600,000 crimes in Texas.

And Toyota is going to build a huge factory here, now.

We are always offered unpalatable choices. Eisenhower and Reagan were unpalatable choices. Bill sold our nuclear missile technology to china through loral space and his bud bernard Schwartz. You bald headed bastid bud in the senate protected them.

God would be unpalatable to you. Remember "provide for your own or I am not in you"? Remember, "if you dont have a sword, sell your cloak and get one"? Remember "dont let the heathens into your country, dont let them intermingle with your sons and daughters, dont make treaties with them, dont help them in their times of calamity (how is He to turn them to the light when we finance their sin)?

You wouldnt find Jesus palatable.

Now, go look in the mirror and tell yourself how freakin smart you are, then go and lean on your own understanding.

What alot of these guys dont understand is how we as Canadians will benefit from Trump, I already am breathing abit easier over potential gun control here. Trudeau would jump all over it if hillary won, what are these guys thinking?
Good for the americans to be a shining light to at least give me and others hope that we dont have to accept the globalization that is being rammed down our throats. Stop this immigration from these countries that want to kill us and flood my country with drugs and gangs, we dont have to take this anymore.
A big thank you to Trump for giving me hope that we can turn it around here too, and alot of Canadians think the same.
If Canada loses a few jobs then too ****en bad, the secuirity of this country means alot more to me then a few propped up jobs.
We need to drain the swamp too.

I think a healthier US economy would result in a better economy for our sister country.

Thanks. Jag.

I agree with most of what has been said here -CBC coverage, and to a lesser extent all Canadian media, have an anti-Trump bias.

Generally speaking, I tend to see a rural/urban split on him, with the city dwellers tending to be more anti-Trump. I think the Conservative types here quietly,, and CAUTIOUSLY, support a lot of his ideas on immigration, security, etc.

One thing interesting, is many of the Liberals here spout that he is a racist - yet if asked for an example, cannot give one.
