Should we stop the taxpayers' bailout of CBC?

Yes, they need to make it on their own

I have tried. They are under a restricted protected covenant now, at least when i tried.

It was Dr. Bundolo’s Pandemonium Medicine Show now that i think on it.

Absolutely hilarious. Never missed an episode.
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.

The golden age of radio - Double Exposure, Peter Gzowski, Arthur Black, Rex Murphy...
Used to love tuning in on Sunday afternoons to the Royal Canadian Air Farce. They were comedy gold, so amazing.

I LOVED Royal Canadian Air Farce. Oh my goodness. I used to be in tears laughing at John Morgan. Ah, get STUFFED.

We got to laugh at goofy politicians [c’est moi, Pierre]! The Royals, anything that moved….and we all survived and were better for it. Those cheery shows pulled us together back then. Now they are Not funny and promote division instead.

Honestly…where ARE all the comedy scripters that could give us a good belly laugh at the edicts vomited forth by Kovid Kings on a daily basis?

Yeah, but without any wokies. They can't do comedy.

The only one with the cajones to be politically incorrect is Russell Peters. :up:

Even though Rick Mercer is openly gay, I’m willing to bet he isn’t a huge fan of all this politically correct wokeism bull *bleep*, and is still able to write and perform good old fashioned comedy.

Ron James, Russell Peters and Rick Mercer.

R^3 (R cubed or Reality cubed)

I'd watch it on any Canadian channel.

We all remember this guy, one of the CBC greats.

The country needs CBC to be better,' legendary broadcaster Peter Mansbridge slams CBC leadership
I think the country absolutely needs the CBC. Do they need the CBC they’ve got right now? Probably not. They need it to be better."

Thanks for telling it like it is, Peter. But will anyone listen?

I also give thanks for this ethos richness bestowed on us via British Colonialism.

Flash thought….wasn’t there also Mr. Canoehead? Bashed into all and sundry every time he moved? He epitomized the bull in a china shop….nothing was safe or secure with him around.

Who’d have thought it’d be so true now with the ego and swelled head sported by our now barely elected PM? [icon_lol2.gif]
