We need the CRTC or someone to actual license media organizations, and they lose their license due to repeated improprieties. Once unlicensed, they lose standard media access, and are not permitted to attend government press events. Only then would media organizations be able to come together to stop this. But nobody cares, so these lying grifters end up with far more power than any respectable democracy should give them.

Sure, but the fact is losing articles and pieces from CTV, CBC and significant media outlets would be a huge price to pay. I know that this board probably doesn't get their news this way, but a lot of older people are still watching the news at 6pm. The CPC needs those outlets to play ball.
