More details surrounding the federal government’s funding of news outlets through the Local Journalism Initiative surfaced this week.
A story published by Blacklock’s Reporter revealed one outlet, Canada’s National Observer, received an eye-catching $1.3 million in wage subsidies, in addition to more than $640,000 in other grants and over $435,000 in sole-sourced federal contracts.
On Tuesday’s edition of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra slammed the Liberal government for funnelling taxpayers’ money to radical left-wing media companies pushing climate propaganda.
Describing the National Observer as a “branch plant of San Francisco leftists,” given its history of funding from the Tides Foundation.
“They are not a business; they are a grift,” Ezra said, further calling it a “project of the Liberals” and blasting the Observer for describing itself as “independent.”
