CBC Beseeches Satan To Intervene On Behalf Of Groomers: “Christian conservative groups recruiting thousands to back Higgs”

 

Christian conservative groups recruiting thousands to back Higgs

Christian conservative groups rallying support for New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs now have enough signatures to be a decisive factor in any leadership review vote.

Two groups rallying support for the embattled Progressive Conservative leader have flexed their muscles in the last month, gathering enough names to swing the vote in his favour.

“A lot of times it’s hundreds or even dozens of people that can make a difference in some of these elections,” said Faytene Grasseschi, who runs the group 4 My Canada from Quispamsis, outside Saint John.

CBC paints ‘Sound of Freedom’ as “a dog-whistle for Xenophobic, Pro-Life types”

In a recent interview on CBC Radio, pop culture columnist Radheyan Simonpillai described the success of the new hit film “Sound of Freedom” can be attributed to “Xenophobic, Pro-Trump, Pro-Life types.”

The film, which has sold-out shows across the United States and Canada, is about former Homeland Security agent Tim Ballard who founded Operation Underground Railroad in order to take down child trafficking rings in South America.

Colby Cosh: CBC’s damning retraction of an unsubstantiated non-scandal in Alberta

CBC News cried “uncle” yesterday in its long-running quarrel with Alberta premier Danielle Smith, as you may have read in your National Post . In January, a story from the network claimed that some member of the new premier’s staff had sent emails directly to Crown prosecutors ordering them to let up on COVID rulebreakers. This created a nasty suspicion that the premier’s office was interfering directly in individual criminal prosecutions, and it rightly led to an investigation by the province’s ethics commissioner, Marguerite Trussler. In the meantime, the CBC stood stubbornly behind its story.

CBC News retracts report alleging email interference by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s office

CBC News is retracting a report alleging someone in Premier Danielle Smith’s office emailed Crown prosecutors to question and challenge the handling of cases involving COVID-19 protests in Alberta that blocked traffic at a U.S. border crossing for more than two weeks.

CBC made the announcement Wednesday in an unsigned editor’s note atop an amended online version of the original Jan. 19 story.

“Our sources have insisted that Crown prosecutors felt political pressure regarding the Coutts (Alta.) cases, but they are not able to confirm that the emails they originally described were sent directly from the premier’s office to the Crown,” said the editor’s note.

CBC must face WE Charity defamation lawsuit in a U.S. court, judge rules

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) must face a defamation lawsuit by a U.S. charity alleging the publicly funded news outlet repeatedly aired false claims that it deceived its donors, a Washington, D.C., federal judge has ruled.

U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss on Tuesday rejected the CBC’s bid to dismiss the case on the grounds that a Canadian court would be the more appropriate venue.

WE Charity, which once operated in Canada but is suing through its U.S. affiliate based in upstate New York, alleged in its February 2022 complaint that the CBC knowingly aired false claims that the nonprofit inflated the number of schoolhouses it had built in Kenya and deceived donors about how their money was being spent, among other things

Shorter CBC: Ewwww! Religious People Have The Vote And They Hate Child Sexual Mutilation!!

This is what the CBC stands for.

Inside the fundamentalist Christian movement that wants to remake Canadian politics

Internal document reveals ambitions of anti-LGBTQ group that is part of populist movement

On a recent Sunday morning in Waterloo, Ont., pastor Jacob Reaume gripped a lectern and issued a warning to his congregation.

“A Christless existence leads to the dark, hopeless abyss of death,” he told around 200 people at Trinity Bible Chapel, an evangelical church on the outskirts of the city.

Much of the sermon, delivered last December, was devoted to a trans student at a Christian university in nearby Hamilton who had died by suicide a few weeks earlier.

“If you’re going to live a lie to the point where you’re willing to mutilate your own body, it’s going to send you into dark despair,” Reaume said.


Of course the nations public broadcaster is firmly on the side of child sexual mutilation fetishists.

The CBC should have a special trial at Nuremburg 2.0.

Trudeau government looking for ways to shovel more money to CBC

Minister reviewing CBC’s mandate with eye to making it less reliant on advertising

OTTAWA – Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez is hinting that the Liberal government’s online news bill could help the national public broadcaster become less reliant on advertising dollars.

Rodriguez says he has begun reviewing CBC/Radio-Canada’s mandate, including ways the government can provide more funds to the public broadcaster.

Rodriguez’s mandate letter from the prime minister says the goal in providing more money is to eliminate advertising during news and other public affairs shows.

Lord knows CBC doesn’t get enough money now.

CBC English TV has lost its relevance. It’s time to talk about that

For many progressives, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is an article of faith, a touchstone of modern Canada. For many conservatives, the CBC is an object of scorn, an elitist bastion that should be defunded.

And so an ideologically driven debate about the future of the public broadcaster spins around and around, immobilized between piety and outrage. In the meantime, the CBC itself is engaged in mission creep, with a dramatic increase in government funding under the Trudeau Liberals allowing it to increasingly crowd out private competitors

Former CBC Journalist Tells National Citizen’s Inquiry That National Broadcaster Censored Stories on COVID-19 Vaccine Harms

A former journalist with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) testified at the National Citizen’s Inquiry (NCI) in Ottawa on May 18, saying that the news outlet failed in its coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic by barring journalists from writing stories on lockdown harms, COVID-19 vaccine injuries, and protests against vaccine mandates.

“I know that as a public broadcaster, you’d expect us to be telling you the truth, and we stopped doing that,” said former CBC Manitoba reporter Marianne Klowak. “And it was a number of stories that I have put forward that were blocked, but it seemed to me as a journalist who’d been there 34 years, it’s like the rules had changed overnight. And it changed so quickly that it left me just dizzy.”

Adam Zivo: The CBC has a unique obligation to be neutral, which it is failing

Recent debate about defunding the CBC often misses an important distinction — the problem isn’t that the CBC has a partisan bias per se, it’s that the organization has this bias while being a state broadcaster.

It’s natural, indeed beneficial, for news organizations to have political biases of some sort. A democratic society thrives when it maintains a vibrant marketplace of ideas, and that marketplace is healthiest when different ideological groups are represented, and empowered, by affiliated media outlets.

CBC must stop glorifying Palestinian terrorists

The Palestinian city of Nablus is located about 49 km. north of Jerusalem. With a population of some 157,000 Palestinians, Nablus is an ancient city in the heart of the West Bank.

However, Nablus’s rich history is not why this city has recently gained notoriety in the news. Over the past year, this town has been a point of friction between Israelis and Palestinians since the Lion’s Den terror group began using it as its base of operations.

Rex Murphy: Elon Musk and Twitter are the least of CBC’s worries

I see where Brodie Fenlon, editor in chief and executive director of programs and standards for CBC News — wow, that’s a title — took umbrage at Elon Musk for labelling the national broadcaster as government-funded (which the Twitter chief later rescinded ). Since umbrage is a supply-constrained commodity, Fenlon have might spared it for uses closer to home. Musk and his (playful/snarky) comments are among the very least and lowest challenges for the CBC.

Poll Suggests 45% of Canadians Want to Shut Down the CBC

A new poll commissioned by a public relations firm found that 45 percent of Canadians want to shut down the public broadcaster CBC, with a similar number also considering its content to be propaganda.

Spark Advocacy published on April 21 the findings from a nationwide online survey held this week with field work done by pollster Abacus Data.

I do not trust the results as I suspect more wish to see CBC gone.
