  1. Yay. A few less snouts in the trough.

    Katie Simpson next, please. It’d be the volumetric equivalent of laying off 3 other parasites.

    1. 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”

  2. 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.

  3. When you just tell the same lies over and over again, you don’t need to keep many writers on staff.

  4. Prime moron blackie , crickets ….. ā€œ you people ā€œ done the next day , defund this monstrosity

  5. Someone was caught not holding their hand over their heart every time they heard PM Blackie’s name mentioned?

  6. Wonder how many stringers they hire for a federal election? Might be laying off short term contracts?

  7. 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!

    1. *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      past present and future, their whole MANDATE is obsolete.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.

  8. 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.

  9. “Gee… Iā€™m 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:
