Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

It all a game to the global powers that be
Time to change that here in Canada
That’s why I am voting for the PPC.
Playing the LibCons Game is way past over.
For all the SDA readers who want to defund or get rid of CBC, Max voted against a bill to privatize the CBC.

Good find Joe
I just passed it on to the PPC as questions with many questions marks.
I asked is Max Lying???
I also passed along your question from yesterday since it’s not in the Platforms .
Time will tell?
Angel,
Max has been consistent in that he will reduce the size of the CBC, but not privatize it. I believe he envisions a funding model like public TV in the states.
However, my point is many SDA readers criticize Harper for not getting rid of the CBC, yet they plan on supporting Max. Max will not get rid of the CBC.
If the CBC is left as public TV, another government will resurrect it.
Well than maybe Max can insert into the bill to make the CBC as PBS in the states that if another government wants to resurrect it it has to be in a Canadian referendum only where we get to vote on it.
I don’t think getting rid of the CBC was ever a debate in the past. It’s only in the last decade that more than a tiny minority of people even considered the idea. Disbanding the CBC will oly happen if it’s an issue that starts to gain traction with the general public. I don’t know anything about that bill, but we can make it an issue for the PPC going forward.
Well I did some digging Joe
Kady: Brad Trost’s bid to sell off the CBC seems doubly doomed to fail
KADY O’MALLEY, OTTAWA CITIZEN
Updated: February 8, 2017
To be fair, it always seemed to be more of an exercise in parliamentary performance art than a serious policy proposal.
But it appears that self-declared “100 per cent Conservative” leadership hopeful Brad Trost‘s backbench bid to sell off Canada’s public broadcaster might be doomed to defeat even before it officially hits the Commons floor.
On Tuesday, House Speaker Geoff Regan advised the Chamber that C-308 – which Trost has previously described as a “very simple” proposal to “[take] the CBC from being a state broadcaster to actually making it a public broadcaster such that Canadians can actually participate and own” – is one of two proposals recently promoted to the private members’ priority list that give him “some concern as to the spending provisions they contemplate.”
Under House rules, if a private members’ bill would cost the government money, it requires a Royal Recommendation – which can only be provided by a cabinet minister — to be adopted. (While the Speaker isn’t obliged to provide any further detail on why he believes a royal recommendation is required, it’s easy to come up with ways that Trost’s bill could rack up some costs related to setting up the stock sale.)
Given the goal of Trost’s bill, there’s virtually no chance that he’ll be able to secure the necessary endorsement, which means that even if it does manage to squeak through third reading, the Speaker would be obliged to rule it out of order, whereupon it would be dropped from the order paper.
On the other hand, since it seems wildly unlikely that the bill will survive a second reading vote, it’s not like Trost has much to lose: he’ll still be given two hours of House time to make his case to sell the CBC.
So Joe Trost was filibustering a Bill that never was a serious so I understand why Max voted against it as well Max has said back in 2016 exactly what he is proposing today and that is that the CBC should adopt a PBS/NPR fundraising model so no Max isn’t lying and actually Joe your help helped prove that Max doesn’t waffle when he thinks his proposals have merit.
Thanks Joe

Having watched Canada devolve for the past 70 plus years, I hold little hope that the electorate has advanced intellectually to stop supporting destructive socialism and destructive diversity. All parties are socialist and make no attempt to be otherwise. Freedom has been scrubbed away by decades of law masquerading as regulation. I do not know how much longer the demise of Canada will take but we are going down folks.
OWG. From another somewhat owg.. I have to agree.
My Full awakening came during the initial years of the Harris Govt in Ont. And the Teachers Strike …
That is when my Hate On for the CBC truly manifested itself … I’d always known that they were involed in “Social Engineering”, but until then did not quite understand to what extent. Fast Forward 30+ yrs …?
I’d see that cabal of Trough Feeding Filth Annihilated – Physically.
Their Comrade in Arms, PUBLIC Service Unions..??
Deserve an Identical Fate.
I wanna NEW country
Unfortunately this country is full of f***ing MORONS like the ones who put out those insipid “We’re voting CBC!” lawn signs during the last election.
FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU……..
Venezuela by increments.
Well, that was…entertaining. It’s a bit like someone waving around a copy of the unlamented, hardly watched television series Almost Human and gushing “OMG guyz! It’s got androids. And like, they’re indistinguishable from humans. And they might be unstable? OMG OMG”
I mean, if PJW is completely unaware of the existence of the entire literary genre of cyberpunk and its history of predicting satirical dystopian futures based on extrapolation of contemporary social crises, then Demolition Man is really going to bake his noodle.
Orwell’s 1984 didn’t predict the future. He merely flipped the 8 and the 4 for the year he wrote it as he was describing the USSR of the day.
The neo-marxists are going stong. No surprise. The sheeple need to be led and to be contained. They get their Raptor ‘celebration’ every once in a while and some twats gush about the diversity they witness but its a show. Finally, when there isn’t enough food because of “Climate Change” the wolves will come out and the killing and eating of each other will be even more frenzied.
Sell CBC?
