Canada's CTV endorses Conservative Party in Federal Election 2008

by Paul Chen

	Canada's CTV endorses Conservative Party.

Are you a Stephen Harper government supporter who is seeking a television network that champions a strong Conservative Party bias? You might wish to check out the Canadian Television Network (CTV), and its affiliates. You might also wish to start off with CTV veteran Mike Duffy and company.

It is apparent that CTV's uncritical coverage of Stephen Harper's policy positions, including tax cuts, is an attempt to dumb down Canadians into accepting policies that would further destroy Canada. If the management of CTV sought to provide investigative journalistic coverage, they would expose the economic disparity that has worsened in Canada under such prevailing government policies. While Mr. Harper cuts social programmes by pursuing such policies that undermine the quality of living of Canadian cities, his government increases welfare for elites, that are linked to a U.S. political-military-industrial complex.

Statistics Canada data also illuminate that Stephen Harper's government has also been associated with, and responsible for the loss of over 180,000 manufacturing jobs in Canada since 2006. The idea that Stephen Harper's corporate tax cut agenda creates jobs, as CTV's coverage suggests, is sheer propaganda. Corporate tax cuts, are primarily used by large corporations to pad commercial profits so that elites can buy more of the finer things in life for themselves. Mr. Harper's trickle down "Reaganomics" is a travesty against social justice.

CTV's action of seeking to legitimate Conservative Party policy rhetoric, has also sought to create distorted scepticism against the Stéphane Dion Liberals, and has tried to pretend as much as possible, that the NDP and Greens ought to be disregarded. This Americanization of Canadian electoral media coverage of Canada as a "two party system", emphasizes why Canadians ought to be more vigilant about defending their sovereignty against the kind of that American corporate backers that now support CTV/BCE/Bell Canada.
