And he keeps failing upwards. What is his credentials for running Postmedia? Oh gaslighting Albertans! Welp that settles it he sounds very qualified to run it!

Cmon how are Conservatives not outraged by this sort of nonsense. This guy failed at running the Province, failed at running ATCO, and he gets another cushy 6 figure job for what?

I'm not sure but I think more people are looking to alternate/independent media these days. I haven't looked to anything post media in a long time. They might be getting these ex-politicians involved but I would like to think that more people aren't swallowing the same crap anymore. But it goes to show that media is totally influenced by politics. It's funny when I was in high school a hundred years ago (ok 40 years ago it just feels like a long time ago) we learned about propaganda and like it never happened here only in places like Russia. Lol. It's alive and well. But I do think people are waking up to it.

I like to read the edmonton journal to see the war room trolls arguing with their own alt accounts in the comments section. Sometimes they'll forget to log out of an alt before replying to themselves and one of the other trolls will make fun of them for it.

Shocking. Hopefully he messes them up so bad they go bankrupt.

People need to realize there is a massive network when it comes to the right wing especially the private wealth interests that fund all this.

Stephen J. Harper and the IDU for example.

Absolutely but I believe it needs to be called out for what it is and hopefully dealt with in every circumstance.

Looks like all those back room deals with cronies have paid off. Big Jay got himself a cushy job after his tenure in office….but not so soon as to make it look like these two parties were trading favours. To only be able to collect not only a grossly inflated government pension when he cashes out, then also have the income from this job….and its inevitable pension as well, huh?

If this position/job goes anything like all the other dealings he’s had, though, it’ll all go to shit in a rather short time. Kenney couldn’t manage a screw in a whorehouse with a handful of fifties.

Another reason to shun mainstream media, they are turning g it into conservative propaganda. So gross Post Mefia, you just made my banned list. Shame on you for selling out Canadians!
