Knight 99,
I read your comments. Onward and upward gallant knight!
I love the way your detractor says “the CBC is unbiased” then says “now take your comments elsewhere!” I love how supporters of the CBC define “diversity” as people who only agree with them. Animal Farm. George Orwell.
ricardo: “You should never give out your E-mail without privacy guarantees.”
I worry about that too. Any hacker, I guess, can get into my e-mail now, particularly as I’ve commented negatively about the CBC.
Funnily enough, since commenting at the CRTC Web site, I’m having a lot more fails when I try to open Web sites. Coincidence? Quite possibly. Or, maybe not.
batb,
I had trouble accessing my own website earlier this year (which is quite public). I contacted the technicians, which are in the U.S., and they did some testing — to the best of their knowledge the blocking seemed to be happening in Canada!
The site is fixed now, but I’ve had many very very very strange problems with Email (which is private). After doing an access to information request I got a hint from a particular government body that it may be being redirected, which can make it subject to alteration, impersonation, and literally wreak communications havoc between the sender and receiver. I ended up having to cut off all E-mail communications even to family members (and we’re not even on speaking terms anymore).
Believe me the crap that’s going on in the cyber world is no joke, especially if you could be a political target.
Make Ezra Levant president of the CBC. Then, after about six weeks, yield reluctantly to the strident demands from the Left to shut the damn thing down. Everybody’s happy!
Michael Enright, that really nice, polite guy:
July, 1997
OTTAWA — (Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops) President Archbishop Francis J. Spence of Kingston today met with Canadian Broadcasting Corporation President Perrin Beatty in Toronto to discuss the statement Michael Enright made in a Globe and Mail article on May 10. Mr. Enright characterized the Roman Catholic Church as “the greatest criminal organization outside of the mafia.”
Then he got Peter Gzowski’s CBC job.
“Mr. Enright characterized the Roman Catholic Church as “the greatest criminal organization outside of the mafia.””
Ha! Well, Enright’s statement is easy to falsify: Mr. Enright didn’t end up with “cement shoes” did he?
“The CRTC Wants Your Thoughts on the CBC.”
Problem: I have none.
“Ha! Well, Enright’s statement is easy to falsify: Mr. Enright didn’t end up with ‘cement shoes’ did he?”
Not so fast there.
Enright is condemned to spend his remaining working days at the CBC.
Think I’d prefer the “cement shoes” option personally.
“Enright is condemned to spend his remaining working days at the CBC.”
True nuff, sounds worse than Catholic purgatory. And we all know the theology: if the devil fails to reform him he goes straight to hell…
Today the NDP tabled a opposition bill to increase the Guaranteed Income Supplement to insure that no seniors live in poverty. In the discussions the talked about priorities such as tax rebates to the Banks, Oil Companies and big business, or military spending. They are saying that this would cost the Government approximately 700 million to a billion, the question I would have put to the opposition is how about taking the grants given to CBC and applying to the GIS. I wonder where their priority would be then.
In 2004 during the Federal election we were in the north on a fishing trip. We were tuned to CBC radio when the results were braodcast. It was announced that Jack Layton had been re-elected in his Toronto riding and Michael Enright said “oh good”. No bias? Sure. Sure.

Thanks for the positive feedback on the CBC comments Ricardo & batb!
Yes, for many reasons I believe it’s prudent to use a moniker and not use a legitimate e-mail address. Kudos’ to those that don’t, but I believe that there are enough internet security issues than adding to them unnecessarily. I’m not selling anything or soliciting anything to warrant exposure, only opinions.
I for one, post allot traveling from many different Muslim countries, some more radical than others. Sometimes my viewpoints right or wrong may not go over well if my real identity were known in some of these places, regardless of the unlikelihood of being recognized. Even the potential of being denied entry visas that I require to work in these places is not worth the exposure from a financial standpoint.
Knight 99, even if you use a moniker, can ‘t computer experts/hackers trace it to your computer?
batb >
Yes, I’m sure they could. But I think you need to go up the food chain from radical lefties, Muslims and third world dictatorships on a limited budget to be overly concerned of that sort of computer forensic interest.

PS: you could also ascertain what kind of Muslim country I’m possibly posting from by how subdued some of my comments may be on certain topics than at other times during the year. 😉
Peter O’Donnell @ 2:51, not on your life. We have enough problems here with the union/NDP coalition.
Send them to Belarus, China, Venezuela, Cuba or Nicaragua where they would fit right in.
Hehehe ,,, has anyone noticed that Mansbridge has a rash around his lips?
It comes and goes …. I’m guessing with the same frequency as dicussions about his impeding termination.
Hello. Great job. I did not expect this. This is a fantastic story. Thanks!
