Re: Defund the CBC
Yeah, but without any wokies. They can't do comedy.
The only one with the cajones to be politically incorrect is Russell Peters.

Don't take my silence to mean I've agreed with you; I easily could've just lost interest in explaining how wrong you are.

Re: Defund the CBC
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.

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 wonder if the CBC will interview him?
If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do.

Re: Defund the CBC
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?![:haha: [icon_lol2.gif]](./images/smilies/icon_lol2.gif)

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.

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

"The story of Mr. Canoehead is so incredible only idiots would believe it" - lol...
This election, vote ABLNDP - anyone but those scumbag NDP or scumbag Liberals. "Justinda Trudeau" must go. No more global elitist scum in charge of our resources and our democracy.

Re: Defund the CBC
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.

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.
