Be the change you want to see.

Oof, it would be hard to say that out loud with a straight face. But it has some merit.

Most of the posts here are by a small group of people kind enough to repost stuff from their RSS feeds or other aggregators.

Any relevant content is appreciated at this early stage. And only a small percentage of an already small group comment on any platform. As the numbers grow we should see more interaction.

r/canada was 90% National Post opinion pieces and constantly manipulated by right wing bots. This is better.

Better than the constant NP opinion pieces on /r/canada

I guess if you want to see different sources, post them

The only post you've submitted here is this one.... about the CBC.. lol

Perhaps submit non-CBC links? Be the change you want to see.

Post more stuff you want to read. Simple as

I don't mind reading CBC ... it is more middle of the road concerning most topics and news headlines out there

Sure the corporation has changed compared to what it was 20 30 years ago but it is still fairly middle of the road.

I lean to the left, I'm an NDP supporter, workers rights, minority rights, LGBTQ+ supporter, women's rights and even the rights of the right to express their views .... and I find CBC to be more middle, maybe middle right for my taste

I have my own news feed I follow and CBC is among them all

Unfortunately, the CBC is kinda the only game in town for news media for a lot of Canada.

In Canada it's basically PostMedia, the Thomson family, and CBC. I think the Toronto Star is under different ownership than the rest, but lately The Star has been indistinguishable from PostMedia. And out of those only PostMedia and CBC cover local news stories. PostMedia has cut back on staff so much and are trying to do the Rupert Murdoch thing (so aren't trustworthy).

So that leaves us with the CBC. This is what the death of traditional media looks like I suppose. Only sources of news are either government funded or are grifters. And some like PostMedia are government funded grifters.

Not good to only have government funded media be the only source of news, but there really aren't other viable options.

Be the change you want to see in the world! I've been posting to some less busy subs as much as I can hoping to kickstart them. However if you want more NationalPost, Star, GlobeandMail then hit up those front pages and post the stories you think are interesting to Lemmy!

I have mine set to New and I see ctv news the globe and mail cbc

Lemmy is still young and not as active as reddit sub. It'll get better as time goes on no?
