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."

huh? was this suppose to be amusing?
That was just embarrassing.
How effing embarassing!
End of the world! and that is because Liberals and Socialists have taken us there. Making cheap shots and Pushing her socialist agenda, what an embarrasment.
Embarassing. And dishonest.
Shouldn’t the question have been asked of the Canadian system, asking why so many Canadians go to the US for medical treatment. And why is the primary site for medical research – in the USA? And why are most innovative treatments and drugs developed in the USA? And why does Canada then copy these drugs…to sell at a cheaper cost – since Canada doesn’t fund the research costs.
And why do we Canadians have to fund the production of garbage television like this?
This is CBC’s version of humour. Now we know why the lefties never laugh.
I’m not sure which it is, perhaps we could get some out of work Climitologist to work this out?
Which of the following drive the Lefties more nuts?
1) Tar Sands
2) Sarah Palin
3) George Bush
Now I’m of the opinion that if they line the watermelon helmet with tinfoil, (enviro-friendly, from recycling smart cars) that the Tar Sands would be the top.
However, if the copper wire on the legs gets too tight , (getting the messages from the mother ship)it could be a toss up between George or Sarah.
Now there just has to be some sort of scale, akin to the ‘Reichter Scale’ for sheer mind bending froth.
Leave it to the Canadian Left and CBC to distort Americans’ perceptions of Mainstream Canadiana. Already enough Yankees think Canucks are mostly nuts!
I heard about this a few days ago. I won’t even click on the link because that woman, Mary Walsh, disgusts me.
This woman, this repulsive Coalition supporting, conservative hating leftist hack doesn’t even deserve to breathe the air in the same room as Sarah Palin.
i would like to see how close they could get to the big 0 getting tazed would be hilarious
Old government quality comedian sucking on raw red tit shrieks : “every word in her book is a lie !”
Now that’s comedy.
Talk about an ugly Canadian.
another CBC face perfect for radio.
It would be interesting to see the expenses she generates for the CBC while on these ventures…
Just listening to CBC in my car is enough to cause me to start swearing at times. It amazes me that the poisonous crap that they produce goes on, and on and on.
When is there an end to the disgusting and depressing crap that they produce? It seems that it’s primary purpose is to depress the listeners, right across the board. All negative, all the time.
And funded by tax payers?
What a horse’s arse… Give us back our billion a year, CBC.
I was just about to ask the question, who the hell is that and where’s she from.
Soccer mom and CS just answered that, I should have bloody known.
I’ll give Mary Walsh this.
She has a nicer moustache than Jack Layton or Baroness Ashton.
hmmm seems like she didn’t get that yeast infection cured after all . . . makes her very cranky.
Maybe if she had waited her turn in line instead of barging to the front . . . but that’s how progressives work the system on Canada. They don’t have to wait, progressives can go to the front.
Meanwhile the CBC ClimatGate news embargo Day 9 continues.
The CBC . . wasting $billions of taxpayers funds but they protect us from the truth.
Mary Walsh mostly plays nutty, gross characters. I’ll never forget the time she, on 22 Minutes, while in character, scratched her butt and smelled her fingers, wholly outside any apparent context. She just thought it’d be funny or something, but it was gratuitously tasteless.
She’s a prime example of the wastefulness of funding the CBC out of our paychecks against our will.
Wha, da, uhm , wha da hell was that ?
The hatred for Sarah from the left knows no bounds.
By the way, I saw her in person, actually, when she was in town making a movie nobody’s heard of. Was standing in line at a coffeeshop and sluttily had her hands all over some guy she was with. Boorish REAL-LIFE behavior as well as on the telly. Geez!
All the truly funny Newfoundlanders there are and the CBC still puts Mary Walsh on….sad really.
As a Canadian, I am embarrassed for my country.
Maybe Mary Walsh’s character thought she was famous. Like Sarah Palin.
No, just somebody crashing the line, unannounced. Who would find this entertaining?
They used to call people like Marg Delacunty, and the other clowns who run the 22 minute show … ‘Court Jesters’. But now they are simply ‘State Comedians’. They are paid by the state to make fun of the more adult conservatives of the world. After all, they are a creation of the Left.
Their careers ended years ago, but once you have a good government job, it’s hard to get rid of you.
They are overpaid and not funny. If the state didn’t hire them, they would still be cleaning fish in Newfoundland.
I’ll bet Marg’s feet stink. She has that look about her.
They should of kicked Walsh in the balls.
Won’t watch it again…saw it once….
The best thing to come out of this was Palin’s statement on the Canadian health system! It was brilliant.
Why does CBC (Walsh)get away with calling Palin a liar? CBC are lying thru their air waves daily.
.
.
CBC is absolutely disgusting. And radiant Sarah wins again.
Here is a perfect example of how the CBC is killing itself.
“Fire. Them. All.”
.

For those who are wondering why the question of Canadians going to the US for treatment isn’t being asked, and the question why Canadians can’t find doctors, and have to wait in lineups for surgery etc.: for all we know, these topics were raised (shouted), but you can be damn sure any of that would be edited out.
tim: “i would like to see how close they could get to the big 0 getting tazed would be hilarious.”
Actually, we do know: two of them got dressed up the other evening and went to his state dinner. Seemed they had a good time. It’s nice to see that the White House is now being run by competents.
Codco was funny for about an hour. A second rate replacement for Wayne and Schuster, yet the CBC managed to spin off an entire line up from those goofy newfies. Mercer is a tool, Walsh is a clone of Homer Simpson’s sister-in-law, and the other one(I forget her name) can’t even make it on CBC primetime.
Yes, I’m embarassed, but I’m trying to suppress that feeling. It only serves to imply some sort of connection to these people, and that isn’t really the case.
Jackie Mason discusses the lefts hate for Palin here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx1TQNJRB4k
WorldNetDaily also has the video.
The only Newfoundlander without a sense of humour.
I’m remembering why I hate that show now. It’s not funny at all, it’s an embarrassment.
I just watched it again and it made me even more angry.
Funded by Canadian Taxpayer money to travel to another country and call a popular national figure a liar on national TV? In the name of comedy?
There’s something very wrong with this.
Some comedic sketches are timeless classics, and then there is the umpteenth time of Mary Walsh trying to be funny. It was okay for a giggle back in the 90’s when the show was new but this is embarrassing for all Canadians. Abe said it best about these “State Comedians” sucking off the taxpayers left teat instead of getting a real job.
Why do we need the CBC? What value does it add?
Journalism is parasitic by its very nature, earning a living from a free resource (your news story) – The CBC then is the ultimate form of this… consuming tax payer money and giving nothing back.
Obviously never heard of the “back of the line”. So hilarious, ha, ha. Utterly and completely embarrassing and yet Palin still shows more grace than that idiot Mary Walsh. But if she really wants to experience life without organized queues go skiing in the French Alps. Just hope you’ve got padded elbows and don’t mind getting your skis scratched. What an idiot. And no preconceived lefty agenda here right? What are the chances she’d do the same thing with Al Gore or David Suzuki?
Gee, who would have thunk that a former VP candidate would have, you know, serious security? And isn’t it obvious that some POS from the CBC should go to the front of the line at a book signing?
F*&%$K the CBC!!!
We need to find a way to end it.
The only talent the show ever had was Rick Mercer. Like every other CBC comedy sketch show, it ets worse and more degrading every season.
If the CBC actually had to sell its “comedy” to viewers, that schtick would have been dead 20 years ago. Instead it’s still embarassing Canada and Canadians.
Mr. Harper, tear down this travesty!
If she’s trying to embarass Palin, well good luck to her. Palin could and would eat her for lunch if she took a hankering to. And as for Palin being “liar”, it shouldn’t be too hard to prove after the 11 fact-checkers assigned to examine every word in her book are finished. By the way, have we heard anything out of those fact-checkers yet? Didn’t think so.
would she have treated Obama the same way?
or Michelle Obama?
or even the Mahogany Progeny – Hot Cross Hedy Fry?
methinks not.
She should go to the white house. They let anybody in now.
Obama will even bow to her.
“State Comedian”
‘nuf said . . . if ya can’t succeed in real life, in the real entertainment world, get a “job” at the CBC.
The CBC “We pretend to be professionals because we are entitled to our entitlements and job sinecures.”
This proves beyond a shadow of doubt that it is far past time to FIRE THEM ALL!
…and now that that pig has polluted my computer its time to format and clean so there isn’t any scum left behind.
She effectively ended Jean Charest’s political career, he was trying to be nice and play along, but she of course took things too far and made him look like an idiot. I never did find her “ambush journalism” funny. Just puerile. Again, reflective of a non-grown up society. Toilet humour.
The network that represents the ‘ashamed’ of our PM demographic. If it can’t be slanted our way its not news. I always thought Mary Walsh was one of the weak links of any group she was in. At least she got her answer from Sarah. A better one would have been she didn’t know comediennes had tenure in Canada.
This is what the CBC considers “funny”?! Walsh,Mercer,the whole damned gang should all be fired and have to make it on their own in show business, in stead of being supported by our tax dollars.
I started watching “Corner Gas” a few years back, on the advice of another blogger. At first I didn’t like the show, but after a few episodes, the characters and situations grew on me. Now I watch it every chance I get.
Can’t say the same about ANY CBC production since “The Beachcombers”.
Anyone who knew walsh and company back in the Codco days and rick mercer when he was doing skits at the LSPU hall knows that these people were as socialist and anti-corporate pro-union as one could be. They were all members of the NDP and on the far-left part of it at that.
Someone should ask walsh and mercer if they are still
newfloundland nationalists after all these years of being federal government employees.
What a nice impression of Canadians eh? All those people waiting in line to have a couple words with Mrs Palin, and this obnoxious Canadian runs up to the front with a microphone demanding attention (only funny in a Tom Green kind of way).
Now if Sarah Palin were to get up from her book signing to pay special tribute to a Canadian television personality wouldn’t that make her more like an elitist than a ‘woman of the people’. What a moron.
I’ve still got some hope for Rick Mercer though.
