@SeanCraig – Canadian Media Guild confirms that layoff notices were given to an unspecified number of staff at CBC News yesterday. In a memo, CBC News editor-in-chief Jennifer McGuire cited “a decrease to the CBC News operating budget this fiscal year.”

What a stupid headline. One hypocritical irrelevant complaint and @CBCNorth gives it a headline?
I am VERY actively invested in the @YukonGov territory – I know that the folks up there are VERY interested in thoughtful dialogue – FN and all others alike.#StupidHeadline https://t.co/8KujTfyTiS

35. Not enough.
Hey, it’s a start.
Thanks for the good news post!
wouldn’t their “decrease in operating budget” mean lack of paid advertisers?
Advertisers??? This is the CBC. At a billion five a year they don’t need advertisers.
They must have found some conservatives in their midst…
or people with a brain
Excellent news!
Buy your ‘De-fund the CBC’ bumper sticker on eBay:

Yay. A few less snouts in the trough.
Katie Simpson next, please. It’d be the volumetric equivalent of laying off 3 other parasites.
Reminds me of that great Eddy Murphy joke:
“Man, after I was done, I rolled over three times and I was still on da b*tch”
Are you guys joking about Ms. Simpson’s rather elephantine physique?
If they cleanout the freaking Producers, that would make a change of a NEW DAY
Pah,they are just purging the Constantly Biased Corruption of those who are insufficiently Woke or any who accidently spoke truth.
Seeing as how these CBC building litter the landscape in so many cities and are currently inhabited by crazed parasites,why don’t we start forging passes for the street occupying mentally ill?
We may as well get some social good for the massive waste of taxpayer wealth that CBC epitomizes.
When you just tell the same lies over and over again, you don’t need to keep many writers on staff.
actually the top pigs needed a raise, and this is how they engineered it
they probably had to increase Peter Mansbridge’s pension
Psssst…..Hey Justin, send us more taxpayers money & save jobs.
Prime moron blackie , crickets ….. ā you people ā done the next day , defund this monstrosity
$1.5 billion isn’t enough any more? Sheez! Inflation.
Someone was caught not holding their hand over their heart every time they heard PM Blackie’s name mentioned?
Wonder how many stringers they hire for a federal election? Might be laying off short term contracts?
You don’t sell the CBC or de-fund it. Some wealthy “progressive” poseur might buy it and continue its toxic mission. You fire everyone and sell off the assets as real estate and equipment. It has been an anachronism since the entry of cable TV even if it weren’t a leftist and green partisan vehicle masquerading as media. Its private sector clones have that market space well covered and replicated.
It’s amazing that someone with a terminal condition and nothing to lose hasn’t taken it upon himself to firebomb their studios or take a flame thrower to their anchors during the National. Think of what that could do for the ratings!
*exactly*
since the advent of umpteen ways of sourcing news, entertainment, infotainment,
past present and future, their whole MANDATE is obsolete.
big round of one-handed applause for PM Harpooned Harper for jamming his thumb up his arse
when his chance to clobber them went NOWHERE.
Forget about joy and hope. These are all conservatives that were fired. There is no way the CBC is being fiscally responsible. I don’t buy it.
Did they blow through the $600 million already?
The Economy is starting to sage starting with CBC, so they got rid of all the Conservative who would have guessed…Ay!!
“Gee… Iām kinda baffled. How can you guys write an entire article about someone (in this case, me) and not even give her a call ???
Would you mind putting me in touch with your producer, please?”
I wonder if the call came.
doubtful.
how many youse been to their headqts on Front Street?
didja know a LOT of the building is . . . . is . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . empty space:
