Re: Defund the CBC
That was a different Canadian comedy troupe - the Frantics. I was a big fan of them as well.

Yes, and it made everyone laugh.
Oh, for the good old days when comedy was just comedy. Now it is snide, aggrieved, foul mouthed and not recalled with fondness.

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.

Wayne and Shuster was another good comedy variety show.

Oh, for sure…laugh forever with W&S.
One episode sticks in my mind each and every time I MUST do housework…one of them is scattering flour about on the furniture and claims to be “dusting”

Re: Defund the CBC
The episode "The Unholy Goalie" was a classic Wayne and Shuster, and just so Canadian. A total "reimagining" of the classic story "The Devil and Daniel Webster". You had to be a Canadian to even get half the jokes. The line where Frank Schuster, playing the devil, says to Johnny Wayne, the unholy goalie, after Johnny Wayne brings in Alan Eagleson as his representation: "Alan Eagleson!! Going over my head eh??" Oh man, classic Canadiana....oh CBC...you have lost your way, and it is to weep.

How low can they go?
CBC admits to building a set of a hospital ICU and using a maniquin to show how crowded they are in Alberta from the China flu.

But it was only an Error in judgement, and because it's XiBC, they get a pass.

Ahh, the innocence of CBC reporters.
Innocence or ignorance, or both along with towing the party line.
Jason Kenney's comparison of Suzuki's comments to Don Cherry making similar comments is right on target. And wasn't Cherry thrown aside for saying something very similar?

Seems like Alberta sees shadows in every corner. It isn't surprising though. That was a government that proved itself that environmentalists and alleged donors were fake news.

We need more like you to speak up against the evil being rewarded with our tax dollars for the sole purpose of destroying our livelihoods and resource sectors.
Suzuki is a fraud and hypocrit

Re: Defund the CBC
No one cares about Kenny, that's why his popularity is at 20% and going down. I suspect his political career is done as well. RIP Jason, hope you have a backup plan.
