Defund the CBC

[Babba_not_Gump]

How about we change the title from "Defund the CBC" to "Defund the XiBC".

[Babba_not_Gump]

In the above article from XiBC, it is titled
“Liberal Party releases multibillion-dollar election platform for post-pandemic recovery”

Then the first line all by itself says,
'Erin O'Toole can't offer the leadership we need,' Justin Trudeau

Nice plug for the Liberals, XiBC.

I was commenting on XiBC today, on the story regarding NHL players being permitted to play in the Beijing Olympics.
I stated "Never forget The Two Michaels".

It was deleted.

Defund the XiBC.

Jordan Peterson nailed it with his opinion on the CBC and on C-10, the internet tax and censor bill that was being pushed by Trudeau’s Censorship Czar, Steven Guilbeault, a goofball who was so busy being arrested for dangling himself from the CN tower and bloviating about how everyone should "pay their fair share," he couldn’t find time to pay his own taxes.

I have a million more YouTube subscribers than our national broadcaster CBC. So does that make me a broadcaster to be regulated by Trudeau's pathetic minions? Or does it just indicate that CBC is a failure, despite the fortune it takes in in public subsidy?

CBC, your heavily subsidized but once admired and credible state broadcaster is now ideologically addled, propagandistic, outdated and increasingly despised or ignored. And now you dare to extend your incompetent governance to other media forms?

CBC should be ashamed. And shut down for *bleep* like this.

Annamie Paul has resigned as leader of the Green Party. Wow, never thought they would discard her after just a single use.

Yup, I unfortunately watched the first show of the new season last evening. This Hour used to be excellent, they would pick apart and lampoon all sides fairly and equally, with an obvious comic bent.. If last evening was any indication of the upcoming season, it’s going to be a sad end to what was once one of the very few shows worth watching on CBC. The entire episode last evening was nothing more than an attempt to promote wokeism, and to outright attack the PPC, the CPC and the Greens, yet they did give a positive shout out to Singh and the NDP. Surprisingly they never said anything in regards to Trudeau, in past seasons they definitely would’ve had skits and commentary in regards to the outright waste of time and money for calling an unnecessary election, the fact that they didn’t critique Trudeau’s unnecessary election is very telling of the shows new direction. In past seasons they didn’t hold back punches, they lampooned all the political party’s equally, but now that 2/3 of the cast are new to the show, and blatantly “racialised Canadians”, the show has taking a new direction..
Also concerning the CBC, all last season the show Family Feud Canada tried to be woke by having at least one racialised family per episode, fair enough… But, on this season’s first episode which aired on Monday, there was not only the expected racialised family on one side, the other said had a white family, but to be fully over the top politically correct and woke, one of the members of the white family was a 6’4” 300 pound transvestite ….
The CBC needs to be gotten rid of, the taxpayers that primarily fund the network should not be subjected to the government using the network as a platform to push a certain political ideology.

Is Rosie Barton the new executive producer of 22 Minutes?

The CBC is like that old, moldy sandwich in the back of the fridge. Someone has to chuck it out.

Barton?

Seriously, though, CBC's commitment to becoming the propaganda arm of the government now seems far, far greater than their erstwhile commitment to journalistic integrity.

I used to watch that show in it's first few years when they had some decent talent on there like Shaun Majumder etc but I stopped after that idiot Mary Walsh dressed up in her Zena costume, complete with sword, and went to Rob Ford's house and terrorized his children. Imagine if someone did that to Justin Trudeau's young family? They'd still be in jail. And this is supposed to be a "comedy" show. I don't mind if a political show makes fun of politicians, as long as they make fun of everyone. That's why I used to watch Jon Stewart as well. It seems now the people running these "comedy" shows think that they have to pander to the dumbest part of the spectrum, the Left, as they don't want to offend their woke friends by doing anything damage their chances at power. And of course, they would find making fun of their woke buddies offensive. So that just leaves them with one side of the spectrum to target, and complete alienation of a huge chunk of the audience.

But who cares right? It's the CBC! They get paid no matter what, thanks to that ever-flowing river of government cash.

The CBC is a good example of a bloated bureaucracy of government people who have been feeding at the public trough for way to long and who have evolved into a partisan, specialized group of elitist pacifists who are allowed to have free reign for their little pet projects that have little to do with most Canadians. Sure they promote their friends and supporters, but that is it.The CBC was meant to unite ALL Canadians across the country but they have chosen sides and if you do not follow their ideology, you are a non person to them and are stonewalled and black listed. They somehow feel they are supposed to be the champions of the people they consider the underdogs and everyone else is unworthy of their attention. There are exceptions of course. They need to present a certain face. They are now a source of division. What needs to happen is that the entire staff at the CBC should be fired and replaced by neutral objective people. I am sick and tired of them acting like they are some kind of divine force meant to rescue the world at our expense.

Speaking on behalf of CBC radio, they were unparalleled at one time as mentioned in my previous posts .

Even the longtime Quirks n Quarks is shovelling out the Liberal partyline thinking.

For the very few shows left to us to enjoy without the propaganda, I say, sink them to ocean bottom where it now belongs.

How I miss the good old days of real comedy and chat without a political bias ONLY in one direction.

However, as long as we have Lieberal governments “in charge” of the fate of the CBC (read Eastern votes) we are going to keep paying for a service that is no longer relevant, esp. in Western Canada

Did Justin threaten to cut funding if they don't toe the line?

Can you imagine the uproar if Rosie hasn't had her shots - Justin would surely reverse his position!

FTR, I'm fine with companies who implement vaccination requirements for their workers. That's up to them.

The CBC has asked its employees to report their vaccination status by the end of this month while the crown corporation reviews Wednesday’s mandatory vaccination announcement for federal workers.

snip

“We are currently reviewing the information available regarding this morning’s announcement. We expect that other Crown Corporations will be asked to mirror the federal government’s policy in their own operations. We have already told employees that they are required to report their vaccination status by the end of this month. This information will help us make additional decisions about mandatory vaccination and how to operationalize it,” Mar wrote in an emailed statement.

snip

In August, as exclusively reported by True North, the CBC stated that COVID-19 vaccination was a “personal decision” for each of its employees to make and that at the time it was not being required from its workers.

“At present, vaccination is a personal decision for each employee to make,” Mar said at the time.
