Link to a list of Canadian owned media.
- Here's what Postmedia owns, they're majority owned by Chatham Asset Management, which is owned by Anthony Malchiorre. GOP mouthpieces.
  
  The Post Media brands have never been seen as reputable though
  
  Maybe not by you, but plenty of Canadians consume content from them.
  
  There’s the sunshine girl but people know not to take it seriously
  
  but people know not to take it seriously
  That's a very big assumption, and based on how the country is moving (deeper into conspiracy theories and right-wing), I disagree.
  
  Sadly, I’ve learnt only 63% of Canadians think climate change is man made anymore
  I agree with you, that my ignorance was bliss and am ready for violence
  
  In the long run, the only viable solution is proportional representation: !fairvote@lemmy.ca
  
  Sure, that doesn't mean Postmedia isn't snapping up newspapers in small communities all across Canada.
  As a comparison, Fox News isn't seen by anyone rational as reputable. And look at what they've had a hand in?
  
  about 60% is owned by the Chatham Asset Management, the rest of Post Media is owned by Allianz Global Investors GmbH in Germany ... third on the list is Leon Cooperman, an American billionaire
  about 1% is actually owned by Canadian companies and corporations
  
  Can you point me to the breakdown? I've been linking the Wiki, and if it's outdated I'd rather be factually correct in my vitriolic and justified anger.
  You're the second person I've seen point out Leon Cooperman's share. I'm really glad you didn't do what the other person did and slap "a JEEEEEWWWWWW!" after his name. It was really disgusting, and has no place in these discussions. We've got enough systemic racism and shit that need sorting without bringing antisemitism into the mix.
  Edit: decided to look back at that other poster....and wouldn't you fucking know it. It was you. And also the numbers you quoted in this comment and the other one are different. So, I'd like to know, which set of numbers is the right one?
  And remember all that stuff I said up top? Why you gotta fucking play it like that Cuz? I've seen you in a bunch of other threads for months. You always seemed like a decent person, why drop that Leon's Jewish? I've agreed with you on many things, we've had a couple of really pleasant interactions. Not so sure about you now.
  Hey, if you got receipts of our boy Leon doing the "Anti-Zionist is literally anti-Semitic" thing I will happily join in slagging him for that. Otherwise...you know? There's other groups he's a part of that doesn't have anything to do with being Jewish. Like the fact that he's a billionaire, defacto part of the oligarchy, an automatic leech of society, that contributes nothing of value and objectively makes thousands, more likely millions, of other people's lives markedly worse....so the motherfucker can buy a new yacht. Shit head already has more money than anyone could reasonably spend in a lifetime.
  I digress, following is a screenshot of your other post, it's important that we take responsibility for what we say.
