  1. I saw this story earlier on Fox, it has more coverage S. of the border than here where it happened.

    You know Greenwald is doing good work when the wokesters have him directly targeted. I have consumed much of his work, but, lol, listening to his ‘lisp’ really gets on my nerves after a time.

  2. Yes, the two speakers — Henley and Greenwald — are liberals, but they are criticizing the evil CBC. All to the good, since people must fight evil. Henley is too inarticulate about workers’ and class rights, but the working class has turned conservative. This is especially true with the China pandemic. The ruling elites are largely unaffected, by leviathan government control and the incredible damage to the economy, whereas workers are bearing the brunt of all the damage done.

  3. I take some pride in remembering that for a long time I denoted left-of-centre folks into 3 categories: Left, Hard Left, and Radical Left. This was my thinking pre-2016. Since then, I think there’s only these 2 categories: Radical Left and “Left but confused about wtf happened to their world”.

    I’ve never viewed myself as a hare core conservative. I’ve been more of a libertarian (live and let live) on many social issues and a fiscal conservative. This has provided me with a wonderful eagle’s perch to observe what was happening on the wide swath of common sense vacant people that we call “The Left”. Since 2016, I don’t think my views have changed at all but from the perspective of a Leftist, who have been magnetically pulled further & further in the direction of their radical brethren, it appears that I’ve become more conservative.

    1. “hare core conservative ” Yes its a typo, but we do have a surplus of these. Running away is our plan.

  4. Conservatives tend to run things properly based in logic and good sense.

    Liberals tend to ruin things habitually based on feelings and stupidity.

    This phenomenon has been front and center for decades, but the liberal sheep are weak, dependent and they are motivated by fear, envy, anger as well as their own stupidity.

    The conservatives tend to be too passive and weak to do what needs to be done to preserve our freedoms.

    In short .. we seem to be rather fucked.

    1. 98 percent of Canadian politicians are gutless nutless sheep doing what 1 percent tell them to do. The remaining one percent are alone on the outside – Randy, Jim and Belinda, Max, Sloan … and perhaps a very small handful of others.

  5. Will listen later. Family day today.
    If she doesn’t mention Trudeau’s big bucks buying the media it’s a flaky interview.

    1. She’s like a gang member speaking out against gang violence after she was attacked.
      All she sees is her own immediate troubles.
      She has no understanding or acknowledgement of her role in it at all.

      It’s nice to see them criticizing the CBC but I don’t think I have much to learn from someone whose job it is to observe society but in 8 years didn’t notice the CBC was a nest of woke Marxist idiocy.

      If she wanted to contribute something useful she would examine her own past and explain how she ended up supporting such ridiculous and dangerous left wing ideas. Look at the school system and her own social echo chamber and her university programming.
      That aint going to happen.
      Liberals cannot comprehend cause and effect.

  6. The CBC has always been crocked. It says a lot that she was not dumb enough for the CBC and was probably about to fe fired. How low can you go when even the CBC won’t keep you?

  7. I see her as a confused progressive (nothing liberal about them) with old leftist values but thankfully includes the liberalism of free speech. I suspect that she doesn’t have a clue about how half the country sees the CBC and her deluded idea that the CBC was a unifier in her lifetime. Her example of her leftist creds is her view on the “housing crisis” which is entirely a creation of governments. Diversity (melanin and vaginas) isn’t a value per se unless it is one of ideas. What likely separates her from Greenwald is I don’t see her pursuing the institutional evils to the extent that Glenn does. I wish her well as an advocate for free speech.

  8. CBC hasn’t allowed comments on their FB feed since June of last year, all the way through a federal election btw, so they’ve been spared the pillorying other news sites like CTV have experienced on their feeds. Like she said, if CBC doesn’t talk about an issue, then it doesn’t exist.

    Reality and citizens be damned. Vilify the unvaccinated until you realize covid transmits to all. No apologies for scapegoating. Next fallacy.
    How is it “settled” facts, impervious to debate or questioning, which turn out to be wrong, continue to be sold at taxpayer expense?
    The CBC is an expensive and divisive anachronism that, while always being left of centre/Grit, has engulfed itself in US style wokeidiocy.
    Which has zero in common with the people. They argue they tell Canadians’ stories – to unknown people on shows nobody watches.
    Another of O’Toole’s many errors was not going after the CBC or pushing nuclear power and championing aboriginal reconciliation.
