I have access to Canadian channels. Day after day, it is relentless hammering of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over Afghanistan when Canada has had it's forces withdrawn since 2014!! I just switched over to ABC where David Muir ever so somberly (fake) said "the President will face hard questions over his exit strategy."
Know this. The media coverage has nothing to do with sympathy for Afghan civillians. It is a concerted attack to elect the leader of the Conservatives in Canada, Erin O'Toole, in the upcoming Canadian elections and to elect Republican majorities in the congressional and state elections next year.
There is seriously a North American wide media effort to take down our duly elected Liberal governments and replace them with the governments their oligarch masters want. Afghanistan has been chosen as their method to attempt this.
Since when was the definition of success in Afghanistan withdrawing every Afghani that wanted to leave the country successfully? Since bloody WHEN? The original war objective WAS TO PREVENT AFGHANISTAN FROM BEING A SAFE HARBOR FOR AL QAEDA AND TO GO AFTER OSAMA BIN LADEN. IT WAS NEVER SOLD AS THIS. NEVER. OSAMA HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 10 YEARS NOW IF YOU'VE BLOODY FORGOTTEN, MEDIA!
They can take their crocodile tears and shove it right up their rear. DO NOT FALL FOR IT!

(12,286 posts)Really, as far as exits from losing war efforts go, it's better than most.
That's just the facts.

(10,047 posts)when he has no control over it, and relies on the US to get Canadians and others out. That is typical of the conservative media up here, that try to cloak themselves as being nonpartisan, especially CTV. I am hoping the Canadian people do not fall for it. I have talked to some conservatives here that have said they will not vote for the tool O'toole. What the older conservatives have not grappled with that they are not the same conservative party since merging with the Reform party which is the religious right and are just the same as the republicans. So glad we only have a very short election campaign schedule. Fingers are crossed, most people are happy with Trudeau's handling of covid and we have good vaccination rates.
