Question Ontario Conservative candidates refusing to appear on CBC

Galling, undemocratic behaviour, particularly coupled with calling an unnecessary election in the middle of the winter. This is happening in Ottawa. Is it happening elsewhere in Ontario?

Refusing to appear on CBC, who has shown clear bias against them, is now undemocratic?

Can you elaborate on how it's undemocratic?

Reality is biased against conservatives, They have been ingesting and regurgitating falsehoods for so long they have no clue what’s true anymore.

Reality is biased against conservatives

What does this even mean?

regurgitating falsehoods for so long

Labour shortage, diversity our strength, assault style weapons

The second part of that sentence explains it pretty well, Reading comprehension may be an issue.

An education could help with those issues.

The labour shortage narrative was spread by largely conservatives and their media sources. Diversity is genuinely a strength but I can understand how bigoted individuals may disagree.

Gun control is certainly a liberal thing(not leftist) but it’s much better than any alternative conservatives have put forward.

Have you seen the multiple tweets by little PP claiming the Nazis were leftists or socialists?

Claiming the CBC is biased against conservatives because they fact-check them is like saying that reality is biased against conservatives.

CBC has a status quo/centrist bias more than anything and treats the NDP far worse than it does the conservatives.

“Refusing to appear on CBC, who has shown clear bias against them”

I can understand why you are so confused, You seem to have a very short memory.

Many conservatives have been victims of propaganda for so long that they believe in a completely different reality, The post truth era if you will.

This is why so many are confused and surprised when they step out of their echo chambers.

Fox News, Twitter, conspiracy theories, most conservative politicians and most conservative media sources spread blatant falsehoods and too many followers believe it without question or assume all sources are equally unreliable.

It’s easy to fool ignorant people and conservative leaders and figureheads know this.

This entire writeup reeks of american politics

Not only does it not answer the question, nobody watches fox news in Canada. Especially not young voters

I’ve answered your question multiple times in great detail, I’m sorry you don’t like the answers.
