Media coverage- American election vs. Canadian political leader news

Picture
MY CANADA this week will not comment on the American election except to say the Canadian media seem preoccupied with what is happening in that other country. If the election that’s been saturating our television, newspaper, news magazine columns and every other corporate media controlled outlet was about an election in any other country it would have about the same coverage as a volcano eruption or earthquake taking place. It certainly wouldn’t dominate the headlines the way CBC and CTV are following every place the two presidential candidates stop to address voters. Since Canadians do not have a vote the importance of following the two contenders for the foreign country is mystifying. The Americans are our leading trading partner and a country probably visited by more Canadians that any other but this country doesn’t have much if any influence on the election outcome. Maybe our domestic advertisers scaling back their media advertising budgets would send Canada’s corporate controllers a message that news is just news not something to inundate viewers and listeners with when we don’t have the ability to react. Perhaps the fact that most of Canada’s corporate world had been sold or given control by American corporate that can dictate news coverage.
On a Canadian political subject, the current opposition parties trying to make headway against the Trudeau Liberal juggernaut is rather entertaining. So far the Conservative Party of Canada or CPC hasn’t come up with many viable leadership candidates. Most are recycled Harper Government ministers that didn’t do much more than follow the leader. The New Democratic Party or NDP is led by Tom Mulcair the man that should have moved on after losing an excellent chance of gaining or at least sharing power before Justin Trudeau surged into power on almost impossible to keep promises. Most voters were well aware the Liberal campaign was built on promises simply a recycling of the past by a new younger personality.  The “let’s hope it can be done by spending money we don’t have” approach was apparently acceptable. A few incentives that add to some family income and circumventing the world to regain some lost friendly country friendships worked miracles. The fact Harper was disliked in some international circles after building a no-nonsense Canadian persona seemed to play into Trudeau’s plan.
Returning to the NDP problems it seems the people leading the party for the most part believe the world has stood still and using old political methodology will strengthen the future.  Hoping the voters former leader Jack Layton enticed to follow the party will return it seems is a lost cause. Unless Charlie Angus or Nathan Cullen decides to take the rudder the NDP seems destined to languish out of power and parliamentary influence for the foreseeable future.
The CPC as mentioned seems bogged down in Harper Government past direction depending on the same rhetoric that failed in re-electing the party in 2015. A few new leadership hopefuls seem to be headed in new directions. Among them Maxime Bernier, Steven Blaney and most likely Michael Chong would change the party direction to a large degree. But whether these untraditional Conservative candidates could influence the staid and unchanging membership across the coutry to accept a new direction is probably impossible.
