The Network So Nice You Get To Pay Twice

A CBC exec expenses his donations?

The president of CBC says recent articles about the spending habits of a senior network executive are unfair and misleading. […] Lacroix said it’s erroneous to interpret the information as meaning Lafrance — executive vice-president of French-language network Radio-Canada — spent $80,000 on himself. The amount includes, he said, contributions to the Montreal Symphony Orchestra “or other charity events in the arts community.”

  1. I wonder how much the CBC contributes to the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra? Is this an anual contribution? Is this a means to top up the funding received directly from the feds?
    CBC (expenses)
    =
    RCMP (tasers)
    = more questions than answers!
    carry-on,

  2. Great letter, Concerned Canadian. Too bad the Concerned Blowhard Communists won’t understand a whiff of it. Math gets hard for those folks when numbers oppose the social will of the pretend elite proletariat. It’s easier for them to read the Toronto Star instead.
    As said before: Nobody’s more afraid of a Harper majority than the CBC.

  3. Thanks, Martin B., who says, “Nobody’s more afraid of a Harper majority than the CBC”.
    Why am I smiling?

  4. I think the internet, and especially this site, is beginning to make inroads into educating Canada. We are finally getting the message out to the Canadians that have been brainwashed over the last forty years. LaFrance is only one more bullet, we should all get together and start a site to highlite the background of everyone of these crooks that have tried to steal Canada from us.

  5. bluetech: “Prime Minister Stephen Harper was honoured in New York City by the Conference Of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations which is presenting him with its first-ever International Leadership Award.”
    Thanks for this, bluetech. Who would know?
    Anger’s not good for my blood pressure and I’m not a violent person, but sometimes I’d like to JUST PLOUGH the whole damned bunch of commentators in the MSM. They’re a bunch of lib-left surrender monkeys who haven’t a clue that their aiding and abetting the Librano$ and co. is, actually, not contributing to “equality,” “freedom,” or “democracy” in Canada. Talk about moral pygmies.
    It doesn’t matter what PMSH does, he’ll get it in the jugular from the leftosphere Lilliputians in the HOC and the MSM.
    I hope this political crisis results in the majority PMSH and his party deserve.

  6. The Ombudsman’s findings on the Krista Erickson debacle are in at Stephen Taylor’s.
    Bottom line: it’s not her fault. “…she lacked the experience and sensitivity to realize thwere the line was.”
    “There was absolutely no evidence of any partisan interest.”
    “…she is not fully versed on the CBC’s Journalistic Standards and practices. She should not have been placed in ‘harms way’….”
    Wow. She writes questions having nothing to do with the subject matter, for the Liberals, at a parliamentary committee, and the CBC’s take is:
    “Ms. Erickson was pursuing a legitimate and newsworthy story. In her desire to expand her ‘source’ base, she unwisely sent questions to a Liberal source who appears to have moved them through the Liberal Research Bureau…”

  7. Really great posts here…concernedcanadian, pat, bluetech, right on,eh?” Entightiled to their entightilments”…indeed. Hey i do the francophone…give me da cheque, I kicks it back to da liberal party…or I do da separate. Yeah,whatever…go already.

  8. As Kate states at the top of her ever more famous site, SDA, the neferous, Bolshevik programed, mean spirited, whining individuals that spin leftoid for the media of this country, are responsible for this new site; attracting thousands of readers and commentators every day. No newspaper, in their wildest dreams, would have even an aspiration of attracting 300 ‘Letters to the Editor’; Kate gets 1000 on a slow day! Lesson to the ‘entitled’ in the Canadian MSM – You messed with the wrong lady, the lady from SDA -hence, the msm is going down faster than a five ton bar of iron dropped in the open sea.
    SDA gets results. Heh.

  9. The CBC is a massive boil on the ass of Canada.
    If you had a massive boil on your ass, what would you do with it?
    Seems self evident.

  10. “If you had a massive boil on your ass, what would you do with it?”
    Phone Bob Rae and say I have someone for him to run in a by-election.

  11. EBD: “”There was absolutely no evidence of any partisan interest.”
    Tom Sawyer’s pretty good at talking people into white washing his dirty agenda off the media’s fence for their own good. I hope the Ombudsman got the white paint splatters off his clothes. It’s a shame to wreck good clothes even if the bag of bones wearing them demonstrates no more common sense and ethics than the clothes hangars in his closet.
