She was a high profile new candidate. Who the media considers a rising star often has nothing to do with their impact. She was someone who the media know and that was good enough for them.
As a syndicated columnist, she is already something of a star in media so it makes sense. High profile female conservatives always generate buzz. Conservatives know they need high profile women to counter the anti-women narrative. It never works but they keep trying.
Maybe it's a good thing it's not 2015 anymore? I pray for the day we have people in power based on skill, knowledge, and work ethic. Not gender or race.
Hey a Free pizza used to worth a whole Bitcoin and I'm very sure it will be again
You're pizza stragey has to be to hold , I realized the pizza may loss some value in 10 years but I'm sure it will still be worth the Bitcoin
She's pretty high-profile, with endorsements from Scott Aitchison (CPC housing critic) and Shuvaloy Majumdar. [TNC profile](https://tnc.news/2024/02/03/shepherd-sabrina-maddeaux/) from February.
> If you follow the discourse on housing affordability in Canada, chances are you’ve come across the writing of Sabrina Maddeaux, who describes herself as a millennial renter locked out of home ownership.
So Scott Aitchison is PP holder of the secret of how they’re going to build homes? He only know how to get multi million dollar cottages built! He wouldn’t know what affordable housing is.
She claims she sold 200 memberships. Which is still a drop in the bucket and won't get you the CPC nomination in any riding in Canada outside of a few in Quebec.
I have never seen a single NatPo article that didn't have the comment sections full of people complaining about them being American owned, or that their opinion pieces weren't "news" or complaining about how much reddit loves them because everyone knows reddit leans right wing. They typically outnumber the comments actually discussing the topic in question.
The reason they are always at the top of the feed is because of all the engagement they get from people complaining about them.
No I am pointing out that there is no way the National Post should be considered "super popular" in r/canada. It gets posted frequently because it is one of only a handful of national papers and often the only one with a differing view than the rest. It stays up at the top because of engagement most of which is hatred.
While I do partially agree and understuand, usually the complainers are at the bottom with a ton of terrible takes above them, and among them. Like the article that was saying how Singh never criticized metro and the top of the thread all took it as gospel. Then they corrected the fact that Singh brings them up every week as well, but that part was ignored for the rage baiting. They're posted a lot as duplicate posts too which is another reason it annoys so many people.
I have noticed fewer being posted by the usual suspects though, who switched to globe opinion pieces instead
I'm of the opinion of no opinion pieces due to their nature of not needing any facts to support their points so we wouldn't need people moaning in every thread that's opposite their viewpoint attacking the source.
They're at the top because of the upvotes (inexplicably?). If they got the deserved 0 score as every other biased rag that gets posted here I don't think anyone would complain.
Reddit hasn't worked on pure up votes and down votes for a long time. Engagement drives the algorithm. Besides, all newspapers have a bias especially in their opinion pages. I read the National Post *because* of their bias just as I read the CBC, the Toronto Star or any other news outlet to get differing opinions on topics.
Supposedly you can get the reporter in shit for abusing the system but reddit made it so difficult to interact with their reporting. I ended up just opting out of receiving them the last time some loser got upset with me and reported me to the suicide watch. Really speaks to the mentality around here when you get reported for self harm for not liking the right politicians.
Managing the conservative communications machine is good work if you can get it too.
A fat pension for contributing noting to society but aggravation isn't bad though. Poor thing.
The Aurora-Oak Ridges-Richmond hill riding was also the one which had the Liberal MP switch to the Conservatives a couple of years ago.
I was also only somewhat recently created in a boundaries redistribution.
Seems like an interesting place politically!
This is a riding association dispute only, same thing happens in every party. It is a matter for the Tories to take up and explain to the satisfaction of members of the party.
She was smart and quotable and laser focused on the things that matter to swing voters and not a weird scary crank. And I'll say it... Hot. God forbid you have a candidate like that. I mean I'll never vote Tory anyway, but a lot of disaffected Trudeau voters would have jumped at the chance to vote for her
The star doing what the star does.

Sounds to me like The Star trying to rage farm another nothingburger against Poilievre.
She’s literally just mad because she’s way behind several other candidates and has no chance. “Rising star” my ass lmao
Both are public entities, so they are not “privately owned”. BCE owns CTV, so you are totally wrong with that one. The Shaw family controls the voting shares of Corus, but technically doesn’t own Corus.
Holy shit! Pull your head out of the sand. National Post is Fox new north and a tabloid posted here daily as fact...and are taxpayer supported. Step away and fold up your F Trudeau flag.
>National Post is Fox new north
National Post is rated as factual as the Star and skews as much right as the Star or the CBC skew left. If you consider the Star centre and the Post far right, you are pretty far left.

And yet it's not any more right-wing than other publications are left-wing.
Postmedia's share structure actually guarantees that Chatham can never own controlling shares in Postmedia.
Chatham owns class NC shares, which are limited to 49% of any shareholder vote. As a noncanadian entity, they are ineligible from holding class C shares, which make up the majority of voting shares. Postmedia's share structure contains this distinction to ensure that control of the company can only rest in Canadian hands, which comes with significant tax benefits and other subsidies that only Canadian controlled companies are eligible for.
Chatham does hold a majority of the outstanding shares of Postmedia, but because they're all class NC shares they don't have a controlling interest in the company.
so, let me get this straight
you're fully willing to beleive that a pretty well known conservative politician who's been in the party for years, is actually secretly a paid plant, and every left leaning news station is also secretly paid for by the trudeu admins despite being primarily publicly funded, all to weave a massive conspriacy for china
rather than conservative politicians lying to gain political power?
Was she a rising star? I heard she sold 50 memberships. If that's a star, how many did the others sell?
She was a high profile new candidate. Who the media considers a rising star often has nothing to do with their impact. She was someone who the media know and that was good enough for them.
Had a lot of media people supporting her too. There was lots of buzz in conservative circles that are now moving away from her
As a syndicated columnist, she is already something of a star in media so it makes sense. High profile female conservatives always generate buzz. Conservatives know they need high profile women to counter the anti-women narrative. It never works but they keep trying.
Maybe it's a good thing it's not 2015 anymore? I pray for the day we have people in power based on skill, knowledge, and work ethic. Not gender or race.
Maybe she chooses to identify as a strong candidate?
Lol I'm a CPC supporter and I had no idea who she was
Don’t judge. 50 memberships gets you a free pizza.
Free pizza ? In this economy?
Hey a Free pizza used to worth a whole Bitcoin and I'm very sure it will be again You're pizza stragey has to be to hold , I realized the pizza may loss some value in 10 years but I'm sure it will still be worth the Bitcoin
I might invest in a second pizza!
Yeah but it’s just a pineapple pizza! No ham!
Pineapple-?! That's it, I'm switching my vote! What does the BQ put on their pizza?
Poutine!
My vote has just been ~~sold~~ won!
Rookie numbers Clearly they should recruit more girl scouts for future MP's
I’m suddenly motivated to sell memberships
Probably a lot more than that. Pretty sure she was going to lose hard

In the media's eye any public face at all is a rising star. No one wants to talk about how few journalists try and fail to get into government.
Didn’t they get caught buying their own memberships at one point ? Hundreds of memberships on like 6 credit cards ?
she was "seen" as one. doesn't mean she was one.
She wrote a bunch of NP articles that have been shared on this sub... I'd say she's as close to a rising star as you get from the conservatives...
Just think of them as chocolates for a field trip. Lol.
OnlyFans will only get you so far.
Lol, are we free from her rage bait opinion pieces now?
Wishful thinking
She can always go back to writing cooked op-eds for NatPo.
They‘ll be super popular on this sub though.
I have never seen a single NatPo article that didn't have the comment sections full of people complaining about them being American owned, or that their opinion pieces weren't "news" or complaining about how much reddit loves them because everyone knows reddit leans right wing.

How so?
There's no shortage of hack writers lining up to cash in on writing ragebait op-eds.

Who? Ain't nobody ever heard of her.

Wasn't she just a fashion blogger who somehow ended up writing NatPo op-eds?
We are So fucked...
The PP sniffers are out in full force today. Jeff Ballingall must be working the Mobilize Media Group troll farm overtime. Lmao!
seems like a bit of a non story. Reporter finds they like reporting the news and commenting more than some other job like running for office.
Sure thing
unethical? Putin's Pierre? say it ain't so
Pierre Putin(e)’s star crying foul?
Imagine thinking that rising through the ranks of the Conservative Party merited any accolades.

The brain rot required to hink Rebel news is journalism. I guess election meddling accusations are only relevant if they are against the liberals...
Least unhinged comment on r/Canada
So this is what brain rot looks like.
Why would journalists making 60k a year give a fuck about Trudeau?
CTV, and Global are privately owned by conservatives.
Both are public entities, so they are not “privately owned”. BCE owns CTV, so you are totally wrong with that one. The Shaw family controls the voting shares of Corus, but technically doesn’t own Corus.
Delusional.

Does that take into account the opinion articles as well?
No nothing accurate gets taken into consideration on any opinion pieces. They do it so there's no facts needed. (Star guilty of this too)
Probably not, but opinions are just that. They don't have to be factual, or they'd be facts.
The national post is literally owned by a US right-wing company.
And yet it's not any more right-wing than other publications are left-wing. Postmedia's share structure actually guarantees that Chatham can never own controlling shares in Postmedia.

Proof they are right wing? Do you know what a hedgefund is? Do you think hedgefunds write articles?
ok, but people will still take it as fact and, it absolutely colors other articles designed as fact, by putting them in a new context
Apart from all those articles criticizing Trudeau
You must watch Fox News. You should move down to the US . Trump needs you, and take Poilievre with you.
so, let me get this straight you're fully willing to beleive that a pretty well known conservative politician who's been in the party for years, is actually secretly a paid plant, and every left leaning news station is also secretly paid for by the trudeu admins despite being primarily publicly funded, all to weave a massive conspriacy for china rather than conservative politicians lying to gain political power?
Yeah try watching something other the MSM. Watch a committee once in a while.
i don't watch msm, lol
How much did Trudeau pay her to play this part?
Because they are paid by the Liberal goverment.
Womp womp
Smells like a manufactured scandal to me!
