As a supporter of CBC all my life, when I saw how they handled the Covid hoax, I was disgusted and
I discontinued listening to their propaganda. I as a lay person researched what was in the shots and knew it was poison. With all the research staff at their command they could have known this also. If they kid know and still persisted, it shows their jobs meant more to them than the lives and health of Canadians. They have no journalistic integrity left. If possible, I would like to have them held accountable for encouraging people to commit self-harm. If possible, all who can be charged with abetting crimes against humanity should be brought to justice. The effects of the jabs on many people were known early on and yet they persisted in promoting them. In the meantime, the CBC as an organization should be buried. NO golden handshake severance packages should be doled out. Jake G.
Thanks for your deranged diatribe Jake. I doubt that you ever supported the CBC. Can you show the Canadian population how many millions, thousands, hundreds, tens of people were actually harmed by the “poison” that was injected into them? Get a grip.
I have a copy of a CBC production titled "Canada: A People's History." It was produced back in ye olde times when the CBC was willing to acknowledge that Canadians are a people, and not just occupants of an economic zone known as "Canada." If we can not get back to that CBC, it is not worth preserving and should be shut down immediately.
Like our universities, the CBC is staffed from top to bottom by ideological zealots, for whom the end justifies any means. I believe it is irretrievable while that mindset permeates the organization. As Churchill described fanatics, "They cannot change their minds and they will not change the subject".
That is the CBC I am talking about. Mark Starowicz who hired me for The Journal executive produced and directed that series. Perhaps I am too nostalgic.
I will listen to the interview, I promise, but I would like to vote before I listen to it: KILL THE CBC, it is a political psyop for the left DEI fantasia.
It's been amusing seeing all the fake patriotism going around with regards to tariffs. It's embarrassing watching doug ford (lockdown/mandates fan) talk about retaliatory measures for ontario. Bad people.
Dude! Devils are my team. When I was a kid they had merch in East Coast Canada cause they were a new team. Mom bought me a Devils cap. I got bullied in school for it. Naturally, this made me a more loyal fan.
So for me it’s the Devils, then all the Canadian teams.
As for cup predictions, I’m gonna say the Jets or the Oilers.
I very much enjoyed your interview with Marianne Klowak. It is unfortunate that this information cant get out to the msm! However I am sure that the msm did much the same thing.
If a corporation, whether privately owned or not, can not stand on its own it should most definitely NOT be subsidized by the tax paying public.
Timely to hear again your interview with Marianne Klowak.It's coverage of the Convoy, gaslighting about the C-19 vax being "safe and effective" while ignoring that vaccine-injured even exist (and then musing that this may be a thing). The CBC earning 2% of viewership among TV viewers is what they deserve after getting it wrong as they ascribe to the peaceful protesters arson, stealing food from the homeless (while an avalanche of food, including hot food, was being given out free to protesters in Ottawa by vendors, Ottawa citizens etc.), threatening to bomb a children's hospital, and on and on. For its coverage of the Freedom Convoy and the 'pandemic' in general the CBC should be inducted into the Hall of Shame.
I think it's always worth highlighting the internal resistance these organizations all faced when they pushed hard against the people. It's very hard to see from the outside.
My proposal would be that the CBC should become a platform Canadians can all publish to directly. It won't solve all the problems, but it at least can protect people from being deplatformed by foreign companies.
The CBC is untrustworthy. They are still talking heads for the liberal elites. On my drive in to work tonight I tuned in for updates on the tariff war. The CBC broadcaster gave credit to the PMO for getting a 30 day pause on tariffs. Stating that JTs phone call with Trump must have been the cause. Sigh. It is the same deal Trump gave Mexico. Please. The CBC is too far gone. I miss the days I'd tune in to the CBC to listen on Sunday afternoon to the beloved recordings of Stewart McNeil. The CBC needs to focus on Canadian culture and drop the news stick. The gig is up....bias
mAID.....CBC was never, will never be truthful. It needs to go along with everyone whom ever worked there should never work in media again. they knew the lies, took the money spurred the lies and should pay with their employment and income for it.
Here in the UK the BBC is equally biased, blinkered and dumb. Sadly it is still regarded around the world as a trustworthy news source. The problems with media which I commented on recently are among the most serious we face because they are making it so difficult to solve the other problems.
When I was at CBC we worshipped the beeb. It's foreign coverage was without peer. In its old building which was in Marylebone -- across from the Langham Hilton -- CBC staffers like myself would revel in the Englishness of it and dream of working there. I stayed at the Langham once on the way back from shooting in Rwanda. London, the BBC and the UK were better then.
Well there’s your first mistake, Trisha. I came from that class-ridden dysfunctional society 50 years ago. The fact that you revelled in the “Englishness of it” says it all. You and Conrad Black must have enjoyed a Pimm’s or two together. Well done.
The CBC has been hijacked by zealots and social engineers. The current political environment is so partisan that it will be next to impossible for a public broadcaster to maintain neutrality.
I think only Vassy Kapelos is respectable in the mainstream, Trish - nobody else. I think she is with the CTV and she clearly has a good head on her journalistic shoulders. I see no one else whom I'd listen to for a serious minute.
I have to say Vassy has vastly improved since her days at CBC. I think she might have actually left CBC because she was being hamstrung in terms of how she did her interviews. Both my husband and would notice sometimes if she was getting tough with a Liberal during an interview, it would seem she was getting some kind of direction through her earphones to change course. That said, I have watched a couple of recent interviews where I still think she could have gotten tougher with Liberal Cabinet Ministers. Francois Champagne being a recent example. My God he was waxing on about Carney like they were best buddy and how Canada has to wake up and become competitive. He sounded like Poilievre for heaven's sake. And that's what she should have said to him.
I notice that when she wants to push a guest she nearly has to apologize for it, insisting, extremely politely, that she has to "gently nudge them" towards a counter point. I think she strikes the balance quite well, because she refuses to surrender to this mono-maniacal vilifying that's so common in the mainstream. She really tries hard to push the counter narrative and I respect her for it.

My appeal was to get rid of the ideologues and start again with top-notch journos. Perhaps not possible.

This was good.

Yup!!
US hockey fan here, was watching Coach's Corner live when Don Cherry made his "you people who don't wear a poppy..." comment. Haven't tuned in since.
Who’s your team and any Cup predictions for this year?
NJ Devils, thank you!
Thinking Winnipeg or Washington perhaps?
You?
Dude! Devils are my team. When I was a kid they had merch in East Coast Canada cause they were a new team. Mom bought me a Devils cap. I got bullied in school for it. Naturally, this made me a more loyal fan.

I moved from Denver to NJ in 1982, went to plenty of Rockies games, stuck with this team. 3 Cups and plenty of crap hockey also.
Can't imagine the abuse for a Devils hat...they were awful then, so bad Gretzky called them a "Mickey Mouse operation"!
There's a real jinx for Canadian teams in the 3rd and 4th rounds. Too much media pressure?
I do enjoy Toronto's annual failure very much. They have 16 years to win...the 1960's engraved band of winners comes off the SC in 2041!
The theory amongst Canadians is that ever since Bettman took over, a Canadian tram hasn’t been “allowed” to win. I think that’s just cope.

Chinadian Bullshit Corporation. Nuff said.
Let it go....let it gooooooooo....

Why rely on Big Tech if we don't have to?
Interesting idea.
DNR. Bury CBC & salt the earth.
The salt reference was perfect!!! 🤩

Pardon *Stewart McLean
Me too. Maybe we can build something with the same sensibility outside of the CBC infrastructure. I am thinking about it.

Sorry I can't "like" your reply. Substack won't let me "like" anyone's comments.

As much as I oppose political correctness, I think that you meant "filming in Rwanda". :-)

For this reason, the CBC must go.
