Great video..
At last someone gave Andrew Sheer something to do.
Reading from a prepared text, insulting the Chair of the CBC.who leaves her job in 2 months.
It is great though that Mr Sheer collecting 250 thousand dollars a year from the Canadian taxpayer, is concerned about the cost of the C.B.C. which amounts to about 35 dollars per Canadian,...cost of a 24 of Milwaukee with some change..

I watched the video - where were the insults? I didn't see one in his entire commentary.

Tait makes twice as much as Andrew Scheer.

And snce he was showing off how much he knows, I think it was more like his interview for the job.

Good luck, Andrew. I hope you get to enjoy your new promotion. :up:

Nice deflection there marvin. How about comparing apples to apples?
Mr. Scheer's cost to Canadians is $250,000 annually.
CBC's cost to Canadians is $1.2 BILLION annually.

There, not that's much easier to understand.

Oh, and why would you throw in a case of American beer? :-X

Lol it's a numbers game. It's great we have a guy that only costs about 1/2 of a penny per Canadian trying to help save us $1.2 Billion dollars a year.

Bubba...hold on there......
First Mliwaukee is a Canadian beer..made in Ontario.
My post stated 35 dollars cost for EACH Canadian..
Spending wisely? The Indian Affairs budgetI hovering around 30 billion!
Great if Andrew Sheer can gain 260 thousand plus 10 thousand dollar tuition fees for his kids.
As for the CBC I am the first to admit it has shortcomings. Big ones.
What is common though, is most all comments offer no concrete opinions as to what is wrong.
It is biased....spews untruths.. big ones. Biased against who and what? Untruths?
Just because the media says things you disagree with or dont like does not mean they are biased.
Same with "mistruths"
FOX viewers say they tell the truth..Others say they are biased...Yes they certainly are......if you don't like what they say.
The takeaway is that those responding to the Castanet poll never watch or listen to the CBC, but spend their time trolling the internet for stories that agree with their point of view..Think they would refer to them as "truths" or "unbiased"
Andrew Sheer insulting the outgoing CEO of CBC gives him something to do, but does little else.

I responded because I believe the CBC should be defunded, to some degree anyway. They appear to be top heavy with upper management positions, many programs can be construed as *bleep* from many citizens, definitely some bias towards a certain political group etc. I do like "Under the Influence" though, great stuff.

I get the show "Reclaimed" is perhaps very important to the FN's across Canada for example and I have no issues with that, ( I do turn it off myself) however moving forward perhaps the CBC can find an advertiser that are prepared to spend a significant amount of money for a 30 second spot.

The variety of programing on CBC will have many new CBC ad execs scrambling to find advertisers to fit the demographic listening or watching if they want to stay relevant or employed under PP.

I mentioned this previously here but many years ago a private tv station came down to a small sailing dinghy club with 3 people to do a story. Not to be outdone, the CBC showed up a couple weeks later to do the same, with 7 people.

Marvin...hold on there...there were no insults by Scheer toward this horrid fool Tait. So stop misrepresenting what actually happened here, it just makes those spewing this misinformation look like agents for the evil CBC, and partisan to boot.

Uh...on US election night the CBC hosted someone who actually spewed the hatred: "This is a page out of Hitler's playbook" about Donald Trump. This is just one example of thousands. This national network has become consumed by hate and by evil-doers. It must be completely reformed, and the woke evil liars running it forever fired and sent to go do something else, other than polluting the airwaves with hate, all on the dime of the Canadian taxpayer.

I was perfectly happy that Scheer spoke for me and so many others thanking Tait for portraying clearly why so many are calling for defunding the CBC. He was absolutely correct. It was the perfect kiss-off to a greedy, unconscionable exec that thought she’d get away, scott-free
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.
