    Cool. CTV is spouting the same nationalist bullshit that Trump and his fascists are. Surely nothing bad can come of this.

      Yeah that’s what I thought too when I originally saw this article. It’s not a PostMedia network but it may as well be

      I read the article… I’m not picking up what you’re implying here? What’s the link to trump?

      Is it the rhetoric of “foreign ppl shouldn’t be having babies here?”

        Is it the rhetoric of “foreign ppl shouldn’t be having babies here?”

        Yeah, pretty much. CTV, PostMedia (American owned BTW) outlets and honestly just the entire Canadian media landscape are rightwing leaning and have been carefully sowing anti-immigrant hate.

        This article in a vacuum isn’t really wrong and it can be argued that it’s “just reporting the facts” but there’s a pattern of promoting articles repeatedly that are just gentle nudges in the direction of hating foreigners.
