CBC paid over $18 million in bonuses in 2024 after it eliminated hundreds of jobs

OTTAWA – The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. paid $18.4 million in bonuses this year after hundreds of jobs at the public broadcaster were eliminated.

Documents obtained through access to information laws show CBC/Radio-Canada paid out bonuses to 1,194 employees for the 2023-24 fiscal year.

More than $3.3 million of that was paid to 45 executives.

That means those executives got an average bonus of over $73,000, which is more than the median family income after taxes in 2022, according to Statistics Canada.

CBC is welfare for the connected.

Most Canadians think adding Mark Carney to cabinet would have no benefit to Trudeau

Less disliked than Trudeau.

While Canadians have a more favourable view of former central banker Mark Carney than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, most don’t think adding him to the minority government’s cabinet would help the Liberals’ fortunes, according to a new poll by Nanos Research.

Mr. Carney has been often floated as a potential successor to Mr. Trudeau, should he resign. In the meantime, some Liberals have advocated for him to join the government as finance minister to bolster its economic credentials and the Prime Minister has been openly courting Mr. Carney.

Viral immigration presentation using a classic kids’ staple comes back to haunt Harris 30 years later

An old video of NumbersUSA founder Roy Beck using gumballs to describe the perils of mass migration into the United States went viral again last week, which the group he founded says demonstrates the timelessness of his message.

“Some people say that mass immigration into the United States can help reduce world poverty. Is that true? Well, no it’s not,” Beck said in the video. NumbersUSA, an advocacy group for limiting legal and illegal immigration, says the presentation has gotten more than 140 million views on various platforms over the years.

Islamist propagandist writing at the Star is upset at Anthony Furey for speaking the truth about “the religion of peace”

Anthony Furey is running for council. He owes some explanations to the Muslims he seeks to represent

… Just to cite a few examples: in a 2013 column, he warned against letting thousands of Muslim immigrants into Canada, given how their beliefs “conflict with Western standards.” In 2019, he complained about how “people are sheepish” to discuss how the growing Muslim vote might force “a running theme” of anti-Semitism into Canadian politics. 

And?

Oh. Steven Zhou is a Writer for the National Council of Canadian Muslims. (Columns by the NCCM, the former CAIR Canada, should be designated paid political content not “opinion.”)

The UK descends into dystopian levels of censorship

“Think before you post.”

That’s the chilling message that was just posted from social media accounts affiliated with the United Kingdom’s government. Amid the riots and civil unrest in the streets of Britain that were initially sparked by anti-immigration protesters, the posts warned citizens not directly involved in the uprisings that they too could face arrest even just for their speech.

Somali rapper Twista Cheese charged under new Online Safety Act with ‘making video threat to Tommy Robinson’

A rapper is due to appear in court tomorrow in connection with a video in which threats involving firearms were allegedly made against activist Tommy Robinson.

Omar Abdirizak, 30, from Sparkbrook, Birmingham, is one of the first people in the UK to face new charges under the Online Safety Act.

Update: He says: “Tommy Robinson I got a message for you … (I’m) from Somalia and now, I’m in … the area’s called Sparkbrook. And you running your mouth off saying we are going to attack the mosques, any Muslim guys … no mate, we are gonna defend ourselves. Do you understand Tommy Robinson?”

There are then chants of Allahu Akbar from him and other men in the background. Firearms were then discussed in the video.

And from the desk of the Trump Russia fantasist …

Tommy Robinson and Reform MP Nigel Farage will be scrutinised by the security services amid fears Britain’s far-right riots are being fuelled by the Putin regime, former MI6 officer claims

Girl, 11, and woman, 34, stabbed in central London

An 11-year-old girl and 34-year-old woman have been stabbed in London’s Leicester Square, the Metropolitan Police has said.

In a post on X the Met said a man has been arrested and is in custody, adding the force does not believe there are “any outstanding suspects”.

The two victims were taken to hospital and their condition is currently unknown, the post continued.

They’ve arrested the Perp but are not disclosing their identity which sounds a bit like how Southport rose to ignominy.

Update at BBC – The Met said the girl would require hospital treatment but her injuries were not life threatening, while the woman’s injuries were “more minor”. The force said there was no suggestion the incident was terror-related “at this stage”.
