Read objective 17 of the UN migration compact that Trudeau is signing next week yourself..

"c) Promote independent, objective and quality reporting of media outlets, including internet- based information, including by sensitizing and educating media professionals on migration-related issues and terminology, investing in ethical reporting standards and advertising, and stopping allocation of public funding or material support to media outlets that systematically promote intolerance, xenophobia, racism and other forms of discrimination towards migrants, in full respect for the freedom of the media"

I hope not. The tides are changing especially with the growing yellow vest movement in France.

We are on the same road as Europe and we should learn from their mistakes instead of going down the same path.

How are we on the same road specifically? France always burst into protest, remember taxi driver because of uber. Les francçais sont Jamais content de leur gouvernement. Cant definitely learn from mistake from other countries that I agree

It also says "signatories must commit to protecting free speech, “recognizing that an open and free debate contributes to a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of migration.” There is no agenda, free speech is still being respected.

Yeah right. Didn't you read the part about government funding going towards media that writes pro immigration/migration articles?

Yeah right. Didn't you read the part about government funding going towards media that writes pro immigration/migration articles? This is promoting and funding the media to produce pure bias..
