  • She actually asks tough questions

    She asks much tougher questions than the cbc show and actually tries to pin the guests to answer them. I wish she would stop saying “ with all due respect “

    You quoted Bolton in the bottom banner before Bolton even made the quote. You obviously have an agenda. Try to be smarter.

  • Starts with Mark Carney ads! No thanks

    Ads pushing Carney on me before the show starts are a red flag that this is just going to be more CTV Liberal funded propaganda. No thanks! Poor Canada, extreme left media only allowed now.
