If a website really doesn't want me to read it if I'm not looking at their ads [1], I really prefer the "please turn off your ad-blocker" wall / dialog / whatever. I know instantly what the issue is, and I can close the site and go elsewhere for information.

When instead they throw up a fake "something technical went wrong" message, it's just gaslighting. It's an insult. Yes, I'm looking at you, Postmedia sites.

[1] It's funny, I read the dead-tree editions of various newspapers for decades and never looked at the ads, and they didn't seem to have a problem with it then.

Dark Money, US Think Tanks and a Canadian TV Network

The News Forum grows while broadcasting a lot of talking heads tied to the libertarian billionaire-backed Atlas Network.

https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2026/02/10/Dark-Money-US-Think-Tanks-Canadian-TV-Network/

Tonight is the last chance to sign up for @thetyee 's year-end membership drive, to fund their reporting for 2026. They're at 743/750 new recurring supporters & supporters who have upped their recurring contribution! https://thetyee.ca/Tyeenews/2025/12/31/Final-Day-Tyee-Builder-Drive/

Reasons why I'm proud to support The Tyee:

1) They're one of the few Canadian leftist independent news organizations that does original reporting, and has high journalistic standards.
2) They have absolutely no paywall. This is only possible because of the contributions of supporters. They are an example that this funding model for independent media works!
3) They're very clear about their AI policy. Right up front on this page: "We do not publish journalism that is written or generated by AI. We do not use generative AI to create or augment news images." https://thetyee.ca/Tyeenews/2025/12/05/The-Tyee-New-AI-Policy/

Very proud to be a Tyee Builder! They can also issue tax receipts now (:

On November 14, two #Montreal #police officers assaulted Dimitri Lascaris when he attempted to enter the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel, where #Canadian #PrimeMinister #MarkCarney was giving a speech.

This is by no means that first time that he's been assaulted by the #cops in Montreal. These experiences have become a regular occurrence whenever he tries to attend speeches by Ministers in the #CanadianGovernment.

This time, however, he managed to capture the assault on video.

As he explains in his report from outside the hotel, it is now obvious that Lascaris has been placed on a government #blacklist. Although he's a #lawyer in good standing and a card-carrying member of the press - facts about which Canada's government is undoubtedly aware - it’s clear that the Liberal government has instructed Montreal police and the #RCMP to prevent Lascaris from entering any building where a Minister of the Canadian government is speaking - and to use force, if necessary, to exclude him.

@winnipegfreepress #PeePee must be so proud of his support for the #FreedomConvoy, #Anti-VAXers. Delivering all that coffee and Tim bits really paid off. Just look at all the measles cases spreading throughout Canada, especially in Ontario. Is #CanadianMedia reporting on this and the fact that it’s a direct result of the anti-VAX movement? #ConsGottaCon only this time they conned the citizens and it’s the children who suffer. Way to go #PierrePoilievre

#RebelMedia #EzraLevant #Canadianmedia #journalism

@maleve This should be front page in all our media. How many times can we state that #PP is #MapleMAGA, using the saying playbook as #USMAGA, displaying the same arrogance, ignorance, anti, LGBTQ, anti-abortion, anti #DEI….. if Canadians allow #PierrePoilievre to be elected through #VoterApathy, then we can expect nothing but the same destruction that #donald is bringing to democracy, decency and justice. #CanadianMedia which is 2/3 owned by an American billionaire, want #PP to win.

@Alexander_Campbell @CdnCurmudgeon @rcmpalberta #PMMC @MarkCarney At what point in time does #ABDanielleSmith get charged with election interference and face consequences for her treasonous behavior? Lack of consequences is what allowed #donald to reach the pinnacle of his corrupt perverted life. Our #CanadianMedia is 2/3 owned by an American hedge fund ruled by an American billionaire, so advocating for 🇨🇦 is certainly not on their to-do list.

This is a much needed reminder in buying #Canadian that that should include our media. A number of 'Canadian' News Sources are American Owned by Postmedia. If you wish to avoid Trump tampered with media, avoid Canadian media sources that are American owned.

#BuyCanadian #CanadianMedia

@gemelliz @orleansfietser @TheGentYYC One of the key reasons Canadians have forgotten is that our #CanadianMedia, which is now 2/3 owned by a foreign hedge fund aka American billionaire aka #PostMedia, owes a debt of gratitude to Harper. He is the one who sold us out to them so he could win the elexn. Rather than advocate for citizens and position, political issues accurately, our #FourthEstate morphed into #FourthEstateFilth. #PostMedia is nothing but propaganda.

#PalestineDebrief: Challenging the #Media’s “#PalestineException”

@AnnaAnthro
HRC is a vile disinformation org that creates false narratives & encourages targeted abuse/harassment of journalists. It is a well funded, pro Zionist/ethnostate pushing, censorship org at the core.

"Imagine if, instead of HonestReporting Canada, it was a white supremacist group targeting journalists and threatening newsrooms. Or picture a political party pushing for stories to be erased or rewritten because it did not like how its views were represented. Most of us would recognize this as an attack on journalistic independence, an effort to bend the media to their will. It does not matter whether the group in question is a white supremacist organization, a political party, or a “media watchdog” – the result is the same: a betrayal of the public’s right to the truth and an erosion of journalistic principles. 

HRC’s tactics have real consequences. The group has claimed responsibility for the firings of two Palestinian journalists, one of whom was on maternity leave at the time. These are not isolated incidents. This is a concerted effort to suppress dissenting voices and maintain a narrow narrative in Canadian media."

@AlisonCreekside And mostly foreign-owned #canadianMedia will report on new #PP gold watches for sale on #AnaidaGalindoClan merchandise site.

@Strandjunker #JDVance has shown he’s a consummate liar. Much like our Cdn #PierrePoilievre aka #MapleMAGA, who is a consummate and pathological liar. And foreign-owned #CanadianMedia is so busy cleaning its bellybutton lint that the slanderous slurs and misinformation go unchallenged. Cdn #Conservatives are republicans wrapped in the Cdn flag.

@justinling The only reason people hate it is because of the lies promulgated by #PierrePoilievre and his #Cons that #CanadianMedia parrots without refuting. So the lie gets promoted b/c clickbait is more profitable than truth. Our media has absconded from its #FourthEstate legitimacy to become #FourthEstateFilth. It’s time for the silent majority to speak up. #EnoughIsEnough.

@merry123459 This woman should be front page news. She speaks for the many. https://x.com/Garnet_2203/status/1840150955733721503?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1840150955733721503%7Ctwgr%5Ec87dc818a217df3525ee7cef4249fab365f2f0d9%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbird.makeup%2F%40garnet_2203%2F1840150955733721503 But of course, our foreign-owned #CanadianMedia doesn’t like that. They support #PierrePoilievre and his #Cons.

@davidhamer_1951 @garnettgenuis Has #MPGenius been censured yet? #GregFergus, have you done your job? #CanadianMedia, oh look, belly button lint.

@thehilltimes Where the f*ck are @ottawapolice the @rcmpgrcpolice doing about this ???? Seriously, what kind of #MickeyMouse protection do we have in Ottawa that these vulgar boorish #ConSupported disrupters are allowed to do this???? And #CanadianMedia what the f*ck are you doing? Why are you not reporting on this? Making it front page news? It is beyond disgraceful. It is a direct result of #PierrePoilievre and his utter disrespect for Cdns.

@luckytran OMG you mean vaccines work? Should someone inform #CanadianMedia, #PierrePoilievre and his coterie of #Cons?

@mediocratese @gemelliz He is our #MapleMAGA. His strings are being pulled by #ChairmanHarper and his fascist #IDU as well as by the #AnaidaGalindoClan, who provided the #VenezuelanConnection as a dowry for Anaida Galindo Poilievre. #PierrePoilievre is following trump’s playbook to the letter. He’s nothing but a #SeducedStooge who’s been led to believe in his own delusion of grandeur. And #CanadianMedia that is largely foreign-owned, feeds his hubris daily.

@bigheadtales #PierrePoilievre and his #CowardlyCons see this and their response is: Hold my beer! And #CanadianMedia continues to pick at its belly button lint

@gemelliz Our #CanadianMedia has sadly degenerated into #FourthEstateFilth. And we have #ChairmanHarper to thank for allowing a foreign entity to own Canadian cultural assets. He was that desperate to win the election that he sold us out to #PostMedia.

@gemelliz @SpeakerOfTheHoC #GregFergus Either do your job and censure MP Genius as well as maintain order in the house of Commons or for heaven sakes, #StepDown. #EnoughIsEnough. Canadians are fed up with the childish, rude, vulgar, boorish catcalling in which conservatives indulge. I’d like to hear what goes on in the HOC, but I can’t. @pmjustintrudeau please demand that the speaker of the house be held accountable.

@mtlgazette This is what political inflammatory rhetoric results in. Those indulging in this form of verbal communication, should be arrested and charged with inciting violence. #EndOf #PierrePoilievre and his #Cons regularly use #MAGA political attacks with no push-back whatsoever from #CanadianMedia. Is this what Canadians want?

J'aimerais qu'il y ait plus de couverture aux nouvelles sur la politique du Canada et les provinces. Je trouve que les nouvelles américaines prennent beaucoup trop d'espace, même dans nos médias. #CanadianMedia #mediasquebecois #canada #quebec

@chu #CanadianMedia loves to focus on the brain-dead minority who seek violent encounters rather than factual truth. Because triggering emotional reactions sells newspapers, right? #CanadianMediaFailsMiserably to advocate for citizens and position political issues accurately. It prefers to indulge in #MediaMalpractice. The fourth estate has morphed into the #FilthEstate

@Edelruth @BarryCooke @CanadianCrone @gemelliz @Sir_Osis_of_Liver @voxpopsicle @kathrynmathias intelligent people of the world should not have to be told. It’s rather obvious. Only ones who don’t see are those manipulated by slick slogans like “Axe the tax” “Spike the hike”. I like “Spare us Pierre”. And it cost me nothing to dream it up. #HarperCockwombleMan didn’t have to fork out a million dollars. #CanadianMedia may run with it too.

So #Calandra said “no” to women speaking on #InternationalWomensDay. He’ll be sure to offer a tearful apology, like in 2015 when he was a federal minister under Harper. https://youtu.be/9Pl-VgPXo2U?si=C5-BQL8sr09CfkMK today, in 2024, he’s claiming he just wasn’t aware of the implications. And #CanadianMedia. will certainly avoid discussing this.
