Personally, I find CBC the only news that is palatable. They do have a left slant, but that seem consistent with the average citizens position when compared to the USA and the news/media we get from them. The stories are different too,

There are 10x as many people in the USA as in Canada.

Given a global market, a carbon tax is a disadvantage to Canada as it forces prices upward. This idea would work best if everyone had to do it, otherwise there are further incentives to move industries out of Canada. Although they talk abou

Being a little self-sufficient is better than not being self-sufficient. You've read one article with one suggestion and made a massive sweeping assumption about the authors intentions, good job.

Good advice on taking a class. What if people haven't thought of the benefits that this article is suggesting?

Aren't all article suggesting an alternatives based on another set of priorities? This is also targeted at people who are choosing fast food over home made food because they want to, not because they have to. Innovation is great, but i

Reading the title this sounds like PR for "regulate us, lose jobs." But the actual content of the article suggest restructuring for a more sustainable future.

If you keep repeating something that isn't true, people stop listening to what you say... It doesn't mater if you made up the story or someone told it to you, the spreader takes the responsibility when it comes to reputation.

To be clear, I'm not taking a position on either candidate, they both seemed to be the absolute least likeable option. The line between 'opinion' and 'fact' is mostly invisible, in fact presenting anything beyond th

Uber has a 'perfect capitalist' system internally, but drivers and clients don't get to participate. I've noticed at times, that the driver doesn't get a receipt till I'm out of the car... Maybe this is so that

True, it is not their job to predict the future... But if they go about doing that, then they are responsible. No one is forcing news organizations to publish polls, they do it by choice. But that is hardly the point, most of the media told

It is deflecting, they were so wrong about the election, so rather than take responsibility they have to blame someone else.

It's funny that mainstream news sources were saying Clinton was basically guaranteed to win, they were sure, they had no doubts, then they were proven wrong by what happened. Everyone for 1 day said "Hey maybe the news doesn'

Truth is super subjective, plus people should be able to spread the memes they choose... It's up to the reader to decide what is real and true. If someone else gets to decide its censorship.

There are 'liberal' biases in science too, especially when it comes to 'evolutionary' differences between races and genders.

I see the problem you are describing.... But if google or Facebook blocks something, its totally possible that you won't even be able to verify... Things will vanish forever.

Who gets to decide what the real news is? Like if you make a white list of legit news, then you are creating an inherent bias. What if the real news list chooser doesn't like a certain website, so they black list it? Isn't trying

What is the difference between 'fake' news and true news thats inconsistent with prevailing narratives? By letting 'the people' choose what trends, at least you are being honest. Most real news is fake anyways.

Also, with this different framing, it might be possible to get the deniers on board with the idea that there is a problem.

That could be part of it, though there is the potential that we couldn't stop it even if we tried.

People always talk about the last 100,000 years as though that is a good scale to talk about this issue. Reality is, current global warming is part of a cycle that has existed way longer than us. Our real problem is that we are speeding up
