I honestly don’t know that they do in 2025. You’re right that a lot of older Canadians access their news from those sources. But from the CPC’s point of view, most of that demographic are locked in to their voting choices or in ridings that aren’t in play federally.
In the U.S., the Republicans have very little support in the MSM (Fox News, and that’s about it), while the Democrats dominate. But Trump doesn’t care about the NYT, NBC news, CNN, etc., because the American right dominates the online media space. That’s the strategy the CPC are taking under Poilievre. To his base, the MSM are the enemy.
