Macleans is Canada's best-respected current-affairs magazine. Sort of like Time, but with a decidedly conservative slant. They have picked up on the Russian gambit in the recent election, and are taking it pretty seriously. So this isn't from any left-wing echo chamber or right-wing deniers.

I think we'll be living in interesting times for a while.

The U.S. is finally waking up to the fact that it has been turned into a subordinate ally to Russia, thanks to Putin and Trump Russia’s American coup

The CBC is less left-leaning than Macleans...

It reads like "Time", but is closer to "People".

No-one reads it, but half the population has a subscription, because it's the "Canadian" thing to do.

Are you kidding me...a conservative slant?

Mcleans has been panning, lambasting and mocking Trump ever since he entered the Primaries - and fawns over Justin Trudeau the same way the MSM in the US used to "get shivers" about Obama.

As a long time subscriber to this magazine, I have to say that they have been sliding hard left for many, many years. Nice try though...

Lol..so True.

My stack of them in the house is giant...probably ready 1 out of every 5 issues I get. BUT, they do some good reporting though and aren't generally outright biased. I'll have to read this one for sure.

It's all a matter of perspective, then. I watched them take a tilt to the right with Kenneth Whyte and he has that Postmedia stank all over him...but I digress and so do you. The bottom line is that when you think Macleans, you don't think crazies. (well, I don't...again, perspective)

The great nation that was once Canada has had its establishment usurped by batsh1t liberals like so many other western nations. That is were the real red menace lives and thrives today, in the mainstream engaged in soft mission creep.

As profound as you might think that sounds, can you back that up at all?

Canadian right wing is tantamount to a conservative communist...

Move along everyone.

More fake news about Russia. Even with the intelligence agencies all saying there is no proof.

Keep up the good work!

Yeah, another useless media agency falling for the Russia election hacking BS narrative the CIA and Clinton Liberal camp cooked up.

Jill Stein's plan failed so now we are back at the "Blame Russia Media Spin"

Anyone who doesn't see the connections on who is causing all these problems can go ahead and see your way on the next flight to China/Iran/North Korea. They like people who will serve their government as willfull slaves.

America has plenty of hard ass, red white and blue gunslingers who will stand and defend the country they live in from corruption and outright lies to undermine and/or remove the democratic process all together.

Actually, Canada's politics, at the core are mostly centrist. Even the most right wing or left wing members of our electorate are very moderate.

Also considering the liberal government just approved 2 very contentious pipeline projects that conservatives had a huge part in supporting and liberals were against, I would take issue with your statement.

If you can name just a few things that you would consider bad since the Liberals took office, that would be great, but otherwise, you probably have no sweet clue what you're talking about and just jumped on the anti (insert label here) bandwagon of the day.

Meanwhile our country is being flooded with illegal immigrants who are being protected by the Democrats and the media for the express purpose of changing the balance of power in this country.

Your freedom of speech and thought is under major attack.

It's crossed my mind too, the "coup" thing. When you appoint people to departments who are known for 'hating' that department and wanting to do away with it, it rings some bells. Or should. And then all the military he's appointed too.
It makes a sane person wonder what he's up to. It's a good thing we have a congress. I wonder if he will try to do away with that too? First time they cross him.

These things have nothing to do with the government. These stories were prominent when conservatives were in power as well.

The Liberal Gov isn't responsible for what every crazy university student or professor has to say.

Legislating speech and thought has nothing to do with government? Whaaa? Peterson would disagree with you.

You apparently know nothing about the issue.

Well its not like things have been oh so awesome prior to these appointments. I am too glad Congress is there to even the field but I know for a fact those departments haven't been doing their job to serve the people they were charged to do or doing what they were supposed to be doing.
