OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) – Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government wants mainstream media cash handouts to continue indefinitely.
According to a Blacklock’s Reporter article posted this past Friday, the Department of Canadian Heritage says it’s committed to providing funds to money-losing Canadian legacy media after 2024, the year a $595 million federal journalism bailout ends.
The funding will continue despite a 2021 briefing note from the heritage department showing that the millions in government bailout money never succeed in saving mismanaged media outlets, Blacklock’s reported.
According to David Larose, spokesperson for the Department of Canadian Heritage, “The government is committed to supporting the long term viability of the Canadian news sector including through various tax measures and programs.”
