Defund the CBC

[blueliner]

Here's the Liberal agenda the CBC is pushing today.
Illegals are not illegal, they are undocumented.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/first-pe ... -1.6801857
I was undocumented in Canada for 13 years.
I lived in fear of deportation and was denied basic rights.
No everyone, shed a tear for this poor person who disregarded our laws.

CBC tells her story, pushes the "oh, whoa is me", ignores the fact that she entered Canada ILLEGALLY and expects to be treated as a Canadian.

DEFUND THE CBC.

Sounds so much like the Democrats to the south of us .

If you read that article closely, you have to wonder why she abandoned her first BA obtained in film and then later commenced in another BA programme in Indigenous issues. Stinky, something not right there, imo.

She and hubby worked under the table, for cash, for 13 years. Therefore they were dishonest enough to escape taxation as well as taking jobs from locals.

What kid under 10 asks his parents why they can’t travel overseas. This does not ring true

The rest of it pretty much guarantees that illegals when granted “documentation” will vote for Putz. She couldn’t say enough in praise of the goof

The whole story line is mostly coverup and exaggeration. I smell rats

This is the kind of krap CBc pushes.

It was reassuring to read the many comments that did not support this woman's actions or the actions of our government in condoning these actions.

But good old CBC has to continue pushing their narrative.
I posted this response to someone who said "no one is illegal "
Do you have a lock on the door to your house?
And it was deactivated.

Did you know there was an anti-Asian riot in Vancouver in 1907?
Do you know why the riot still "resonates"?

Because CBC pushes that agenda.

I didn't know this but I can see why. 'Close calls' don't usually dominate history books unless someone wants them to.

"No lives were lost during the riot, according to Tsang's White Riot, but "there were close calls."

The book notes that "only five rioters were eventually found guilty and given jail terms of one to six months."

"I was shocked that I didn't learn about this until I was later in my 20s," he said. "Why wasn't this brought up in school?"

Why wasn't it brought up in school?

In 1907, the Vancouver Trades and Labour Council, a labour movement organization, helped found a local chapter of the Asiatic Exclusion League, which began in San Francisco. Its first public event was a parade and demonstration on Sept. 7, 1907, to create awareness and lobby the federal government to pass laws to exclude Asians from Canada.

Because this violence was perpetuated by a union. And the only narrative allowed in schools these days is "unions good, capitalists bad". Brought to you by the BCTF, a union.

The CBC just plain sucks.

No matter how many times Reagan lovers bellow unions are bad - it won't make them right. It's a right enshrined in our legal system to be in a union. Maybe we should make things equal. No one is allowed to be a union member - and no one gets to be called a business when in fact they are simply a contractor of 1.

"Reagan lovers"? What does this have to do with the CBC article? Nothing. You just proved my point - unions must be defended at all costs, so that's why union-sponsored hate against Asians in 1907 was not taught in our schools.

Conservatives ask Twitter to label CBC accounts as 'government-funded' media
© Provided by The Canadian Press


Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre tweeted a copy of a letter addressed to the company making that request on Tuesday.

The "government-funded" label appears above every tweet from accounts that are tagged with the description.

Twitter added the descriptor to BBC and National Public Radio accounts last week after initially labelling them as "state-affiliated" — a term usually reserved for government-run propaganda outlets — and NRP announced this morning it is quitting the platform as a result.

Twitter currently defines government-funded media as outlets that "may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content," and Poilievre says he believes that applies to the CBC.

CBC says in a statement that that definition is "clearly not the case" and it cannot comment on the motives behind Poilievre's letter.

Also, in a tweet yesterday made by Pierre P. he made it absolutely clear that this govt mouthpiece costs us over a billion bucks annually and once he is elected, it will be defunded. That money could buy us a nice new and shiny hospital

Colby Cosh: CBC editorial independence is a lie

Probably some of our readers are chuckling this week at the chaos that has broken out on Twitter over the correct verification labels for various public broadcasters. A couple of days ago, Elon Musk, the owner and CEO of the social media site, made an appearance on BBC television and was challenged on Twitter’s decision to give the BBC’s main account a “government-funded media” label. The “government-funded” tag isn’t meant to be purely a criticism or warning: in Twitter’s scheme of tags, a media company or news agency that is directly government-controlled and used to promote a country’s foreign policy would attract a different “state-affiliated” label.

But not everybody understands the nuances of the scheme, which is now subject to Musk’s notoriously whim-based decision-making, and the BBC is, like all government-funded western-type state media, hypersensitive about its political independence. The BBC, however, further insists that it is not really government-funded at all. Its revenue comes from the notorious and archaic television license fee — a tax on owning and operating a television that is enforced by the government (including a fleet of BBC electromagnetic detection vans that prowl the streets and lanes of Britain) but that does go directly to the corporation rather than to the general revenue of the United Kingdom government. In the BBC’s account, it is semi-voluntarily funded directly by the citizenry; and, in fact, if you don’t care to own a TV or turn one on, you aren’t forced to pay for the Beeb.

How much true political independence does this pettifogging technical consideration give the BBC? Well, the BBC has a pretty strong global reputation for impartiality, one which Musk actually endorsed in his BBC interview. People in Britain might have different opinions. (In truth, they’re the opinions you would infer by analogy as a CBC viewer: the Labour left and those left of Labour complain that the BBC doesn’t promote socialist revolution more aggressively, and the Conservatives see the BBC as a hereditary enemy.)

What we noticed about the BBC’s self-defence, based on the license-fee funding model, is that it doesn’t apply to its Canadian spiritual offspring, the CBC, whose Twitter accounts have no “government-funded” label yet. CBC-baiting Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre noticed this with amusing alacrity, tweeting (at the Queen’s-educated Musk) that the CBC’s accounts should be labelled “government-funded.”

Again, let’s return to Twitter’s official doctrine about these labels: a “government-funded” news outlet identified as such is one “where the government provides some or all of the outlet’s funding and may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content.” A spokesman for the CBC, interviewed by the Post’s Anja Karadeglija, made the point you would expect him to make: the Government of Canada has no editorial involvement with the CBC. Why, its political independence is specified in, er, the Broadcasting Act. That’s the federal statute that, ummm, defines the editorial mandate of the CBC, requiring the corporation to promote “national consciousness and identity” and to “reflect the multicultural and multiracial nature of Canada.”

Only thing good this month on CBC is Telford going live in 10 minutes.

Mr. Musk has come through and put the "government-funded" label on CBC, and they're not happy.
How unhappy are they? They deactivated my comment!
