The poster only said they were banned and didn't appear to like that idea and defended that.  I don't think they said they were a fan.

  The poster then tried to stop any bashing of Rebel News because they have a right to exist in a free press world.  So what?  I understand their right to exist, doesn't mean I won't slam them and right wing rhetoric.

I do not particularly like the Rebel . I try to watch all sources of information and purposely watch read sources that I think will challenge my opinion. Sometimes it includes sources like this and CNN(barf). I find I can read between the lines and get reports on issues that I may not from another source. Then I do my own research. I will not take anything at face value. 

However I have a strong value of freedom of speech. All speech . This is why I will never report a comment. 

As for the opinion of Rebel News my the PM and Canadian msm, if Rebel News is such garbage and very well may be, then let them report and be involved in News events. Especially election debates. Also perhaps our PM could give Canadians some credit in possessing the intelligence to make their own decision as what credible or not. 

Call out Rebel News and who ever you wish, that's freedom of speech and that is a good thing!

Yeah...even Youtube has a problem with Rebel News but Trudeau definitely should have ignored them.  Are you a fan of Rebel News?

Yeah. Youtube has a problem with anything not of its political persuasion.

That's your opinion as to why Youtube had a problem with Rebel News. It's interesting that you seem compelled to defend them by criticizing the platform that held them accountable and the government that refuses to call them "press" or "journalism".

Treudue likes to ignore allot of things. Especially issues with Aboriginals. He does a great job of photo opportunities at the graves of residential school victims but there's reserves with non drinkable water and violence against Aboriginal women on those reserves and many others. 

He does not want to address who is committing violence against Aboriginal women because it might offend some. So Aboriginal women goes missing and die but the PM is making sure he looks good and doesn't offend anyone!

My financial advisor called to check up on me.  I rolled over my retirement funds when we got sold two times into a private firm with a guy I know from church.  He called and said I was having a very good year with double digit returns.  I decided to stay the course and make no changes and he agreed.  

I personally feel good about the economy.

Not so with the average person whom are feeling the sting of inflation.  As I've indicated myself, I feel it to.  I've already spent my usual food budget for the month and it's only the 21st.  Gas and groceries and essentials are making for less disposable cash.  I think ultimately this isn't good for the economy.  So while I feel good about the economy, I don't feel great.

No president during a bad economy, or a perceived bad economy, and during inflationary times does well in the polls.  

At least the public is open his side with the infrastructure plan.

That's right, no president can escape the trouble that an economic crisis brings.  This economic problem, unlike the fallout and recession from Bush and GOP economic policy, is related to the pandemic and Trump and the GOP's failed response to that national crisis. Certainly, the party that gave us permanent tax relief for the wealthiest will try to blame Biden and certainly a healthy percentage of the population will simply believe that messaging. 

The global economy is suffering because of covid.  The USA economy is suffering especially because the first year of our pandemic political response was incompetent at the federal level.

I will defend everyone's freedom of speech, even yours which I find extremely bias and sometimes radical.  Just because the government doesn't call them something doesn't mean they do not have a right to speech. We are free here for the most part so the government can take their opinion and shove it. 

Yes. Youtube likes to censor allot of things. This is only one example.

You should hear how the USA deals with missing native women.  

I guess you don't want to talk about why a fake news company should get a seat at the table with actual journalists. No one said they can't publish their garbage.  Youtube is a private company, they aren't obligated to do business with propagandists or charlatans.

Still trying to blame Trump eh? Nice try but no dice! Biden has mucked just about everything including the economy.

No one is arguing with their right to exist..only with the quality of the hysterical claptrap that they publish.

Please elucidate how he personally did that.  Otherwise, the sources you list are woefully lacking in facts but extravagant with criticism.  Anyone who says that they understand the economy now is deluded.  Everything they "knew" has been turned upside down except that inflation would be the price of people willing to start spending in generous amounts.  Also, if you could explain the economic  upside of a world pandemic, I'd be willing to read it.

He accused his own country of committing genocide against aboriginal women, that's dodging the subject?

I thought my article laid it out pretty well, although they left out a few things. But if you disagree how about you tell me what you think he (Biden) has done right so far!
