I went out last night and a gentleman who I was talking to about music. He suddenly went off topic and asked me why I think people are so angry. I said that I thought that it was SM and #CdnMediaFailed. I told him about Post Media being sold to a far right wing US hedge fund. 1)
I told him that Harper ok'd the sale even though it violated Canadian Content rules. He went ballistic when I told him that opeds are opinion pieces and not real journalism. He started attacking me for just stating my opinion. 2)
He yelled in my face "Where are you from?" I told him that we were sitting on the ancestral home of my family. This made him even more incensed. He left in a huff. The irony is real 🙄
