Rex Murphy: If CBC cared about diversity, it would host Jordan Peterson global warming talk

I know there have been others. But none has had such a continuous and insistent presence.

No other issue has had the sweet, soft, giddy support of the big networks, the great corporations, the trendy school boards, every mad virtue-signalling politician (the chieftain of which is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau), and the whole wide and multitudinous, amoeba-replicative (and dreadful) NGOs — think of the various foundations, of which I nominate the Suzuki Foundation as the Canadian prince of these dull harrying grouplets — as global warming.

CBC Propaganda … Justin Trudeau’s put-up-or-shut-up moment

​If he’s lucky, the prime minister has more than two years to make a case for a fourth term. But what if voters are simply tired of him?

Seven years to the day after that sunny morning in 2015 when he and his new cabinet walked down the tree-lined drive to Rideau Hall, Justin Trudeau visited a community centre in a working-class neighbourhood of apartment towers and public housing in northeastern Toronto.

Inside a second-floor meeting room – scuffed laminate floors, fluorescent lights, two portable air conditioners and a foosball table – 34 chairs were arranged in a circle. Families and seniors from the area filled 31 of the chairs.

Following a short wait, Trudeau entered the room. After a general greeting he proceeded around the circle — meeting each person individually, leaning in, making eye contact — before taking a seat between Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and Michael Coteau, the local Liberal MP.

Trudeau’s CBC Lauds Trudeau’s Climate Lunatic

Canadian climate minister’s 1st full year in office was one of cred and compromise

It’s not every day the prime minister asks a rebel to join his cabinet, but for Justin Trudeau, it’s been a well-received gamble.

As his first full year in office wraps, activist-turned-politician Steven Guilbeault is in the midst of hosting the world for the UN’s COP15 conference in Montreal, as Canada’s minister of environment and climate change. It’s the most significant biodiversity conference in over a decade.

COP15 comes on the heels of last month’s heavily attended COP27 — the UN conference for climate negotiations hosted by Egypt.

Where in CBC’s mandate does it say “Pimp for Drag Queens who want to perform for children?”

Guelph drag queen sees all-ages shows targeted by social media campaigns

A Guelph drag queen says their shows are being targeted by two Ontario-based social media campaigns, resulting in the cancellation of one event and the performer feeling uneasy about an upcoming show.

Last month, Crystal Quartz had a drag brunch organized at Kelseys Original Roadhouse in Burlington. But following threats made to the restaurant, management was forced to cancel, the restaurant confirmed to CBC Kitchener-Waterloo. Restaurant management couldn’t disclose information about these threats due to an ongoing police investigation.

The CBC does not deserve tax payer funding as it in no way represents Canadian culture and values. Where in it’s mandate does it say “Pimp for Drag Queens?”

PS. I note this article makes no reference to CAHN the  so called “anti-hate” group found to be in support of the violent  Antifa organization in a recent court ruling. CAHN had previously been the CBC’s go-to community advocate for men who dress as women.

Hoorah! Suzuki Family To Remain On Public Teat! CBC chooses Suzuki’s daughter to replace Daddy as host of The Nature of Things even after countless auditions!

… After a country-wide search and countless auditions, it was difficult to choose just one host. For Cullis-Suzuki, it was “a huge, huge shock” to learn she would be co-hosting the show her father has helmed since before she was born.

They tossed in a token co-host to please the DEI/BLM gods and waste even more tax dollars.

Child pornographers at CBC In Shock that anti-trans candidates running in Ontario school board elections

With support from several conservative groups, some candidates are vowing to end inclusive sex education

In school board elections across Ontario this Monday, dozens of candidates are running on promises to roll back protections for transgender students, part of a concerted effort by conservative lobby groups to undo policies aimed at addressing systemic discrimination.

The normally sleepy contests for trustee positions have been highly charged this year with faith-based groups, political parties and self-styled “anti-woke” organizations involved to an unprecedented degree, including providing endorsements, mobilizing volunteers and providing candidates’ training from U.S. political operatives.

OMG! US Political Operatives! That’s only OK when they want to shut down the Oil and Gas Industry! CBC’s playbook has gotten very stale.

Isn’t it great your tax dollars pick up the tab for the sick fetish of child sexualization at the CBC?

Child abuse is “normal” at the CBC, one more reason it should be shut down.

CBC is the major threat that other Canadian media outlets don’t want to talk about

Is now a good time to talk about one of the most destructive forces in the Canadian media? I’m not talking Google or Facebook – though they are challenges to be dealt with – I’m talking about the predatory state-owned operation known as CBC.

On Monday, we were all witness to the bizarre spectacle of one of the owners of the Toronto Star taking the other to court over the direction of the company. One wants cuts to the Star newsroom, one does not.

I am not hopeful that Poilievre will deal with the CBC as promised despite the fact that citizens have long tuned out this rogue public broadcaster kept afloat with their extorted tax dollars.

And what is Stockwell Day on about?  Is he suggesting Poilievre is already morphing into CPC Institution Man?

Stockwell Day says he’s worried about how Poilievre will treat socially conservative Leslyn Lewis

So it’s business as usual then … CBC reportedly considering dropping requirement for journalistic objectivity

CBC is reportedly considering dropping an age-old requirement for its reporters to be objective — at least for those from a visible minority group.

The revelation was shared this week in an editorial by the Quebec newspaper La Presse. Senior editor François Cardinal wrote that CBC was considering an internal demand by its reporters that the broadcaster abandon its current standards requiring reporters and staff to remain neutral on political issues.

I can’t tell the difference can you? The fact they’re even considering this is reason enough to shut it all down.

Cutting CBC would give twice

Cutting government spending is almost always beneficial but new Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s proposal to eliminate the CBC’s public funding is doubly so. Many other government-run institutions are so blatantly inefficient and do so badly that there is at least the silver lining that they sow public skepticism about further government expansion. The CBC is also inefficient and does badly but it is in the business of pushing stories and promoting ideas, and the ideas it promotes are those favouring government expansion. As Milton Friedman wrote, “Any institution will tend to express its own values and its own ideas … A socialist institution will teach socialist values.”

How many times have we heard conservative politicians rally the faithful with cries of “Defund The CBC?” Yet it never comes to pass. Why is that?

The CBC was once vital to maintaining the façade of democracy that kept we proles in check.

CBC became part of the permanent political class that governs us. 

But few watch it anymore if the ratings are to be believed. 

Trudeau’s handlers understood the CBC’s diminished reach and brought the rest of Canada’s media on board with subsidies’.

Will Poilievre defund or even cut back the CBC? We’ll see but I wouldn’t bet on it.

And I will want to know why he changed his mind.

Majority of Conservative voters support defunding the CBC — but not attacks on media

A clear majority of Conservative supporters strongly support taking public funds away from the CBC — but fewer support attacks on journalists, a Mainstreet poll suggests.

Several prominent Conservatives, including leader Pierre Poilievre and former leader Erin O’Toole, have called for deeply cutting or completely defunding the CBC.

In 2021, government grants made up about 60 per cent of the CBC’s revenue.
