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."

I think the CBC is digging their own grave here. A cpc majority in October will indeed reconfigure the CBC – making it user donation funded; removing its news arm and all advertising.

There should be no issue with this video nor the headline supporting it. It does not support any claim of a so-called anti-Harper bias at the CBC and the subsequent calls to defund our national treasure, which some continue to make.
But for those who are simply not satisfied with this response, you will be pleased to know that just as was done with the decision to contract out weather forecasting to The Weather Network, we are presently in negotiations with BELL Media to contract out our election-related news to The Comedy Network.
We got rid of DDT, now get rid of CBC! One and the same effect on the public!
That’s appalling and inexcusable.
Who’s the producer of this partisan attack?
The fact that most Leftists would have no problem with this video yet fail to accept that their beloved CBC would NEVER do something like this to the Liberals, the NDP, or the Greens shows how deeply corrupt their hearts & minds are.
#DefundTheCBCNow
I’ve found this story interesting: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/tom-mulcair-contacted-by-police-about-suspected-bribe-by-ex-laval-mayor-1.1337764
Why anyone would keep secret an offer like that for 17 years is beyond me.
Apparently, it is beyond the CBC as well — because no so-called journalist with that organization has bothered to ask Mr. Mulcair a question about it. Some things don’t fit in with the CBC’s agenda.
As I was driving home today, I saw someone with CBC and political stickers on their car bumper putting a CBC election sign back up that had gotten knocked over. As she finished putting that one up, she took the time to put the NDP sign back up as well. The Liberal and Conservative signs knocked over were too much trouble.
Funny that……
I agree. It takes a special brand of intellectual dishonesty for one to allow their own HDS to get in the way of denouncing this nonsense. But that’s precisely what will happen. No different than how the left use Twitter to defend against claims of a left leaning bias in media by posting tweets on the pages of conservative Canadians in defense of the MSM. Yet when you click on their own Twitter page you’ll notice their constantly re-tweeting those very same sources they claim don’t have a bias. They are clearly irony-imparied, not recognizing that when people on one side of the political spectrum line up to deny the existence of bias they are, in fact, reinforcing the validity of the claim by those who are saying that there is. Polarization is the end product of bias and wouldn’t exist without it.
Actually, I’m not upset by this. I remember the CBC’s montage of John Turner’s throat clearing, in the ’88 election I think. It ran for about a minute with Turner’s machine gun-like clearing noises. They’ve done this to both sides, I’ve got no problem with it.
I get by with a little help from my friends.
Rather than get upset by a silly and innocuous montage, why not use your creative juices and technical know-how (of which I have none) to do something similar with the opposition leaders’ verbal tics or gestures? Or maybe one of the CBC “stars”? However, that might be fraught with unforeseen consequences … remember how the infamous ad about Jean Chretien’s face backfired? Why not just shrug off this Harper montage?
You see, getting mad about such CBC silliness & demanding the ombudsman intervene does two things, IMO: one, it perpetuates the image of the angry Tory and two, it contradicts one opinion often voiced by some conservatives, that there’s no such thing as “the right to not be offended”.
Cbc loves quebec prime ministers, plus Mulroney was a progressive
There should be a montage of Justin(e) flicking his hair back à la Prell Shampoo commercials from the 70s.
The CBC will effectively be “DEFUNDED” the moment when HARPER plants a CANADIAN FLAG AT THE northern most point of Canada FOR all Canadians, before the NEXT CANADIAN GENERAL FEDERAL ELECTION IN OCTOBER!
GOR NORTH TODAY HARPER!
one thing that Canadians have in abundance is stupidity. sooner or later the terminally stupid will manage to destroy the country.
Better than Obamba – “FOLKS”.
Crickets from the Liberal propaganda ministry.
For those who are interested in an interview with the PM:
From CBCdotca story “Behind CBC The National’s interviews with Canada’s federal leaders
CBC News Chief Correspondent Peter Mansbridge sits down for 1-on-1 interviews with the 4 leaders”
“The interviews
Starting tonight, CBC’s The National is airing a series of exclusive interviews with the leaders of Canada’s major political parties.
Viewers can tune in to hear Peter’s in-depth conversations with Conservative Party Leader Stephen Harper tonight, Liberal Party Leader Justin Trudeau on Tuesday, NDP Party Leader Tom Mulcair on Wednesday and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May on Friday.
The interviews will air on CBC’s The National at 9 p.m. ET on CBC News Network and at 10 p.m./10:30 NT on CBC-TV.”
So much butthurt!
And all just because the CBC isn’t as obsequious and servile to the CPC as this blog is.

Conservative who reportedly urinated into coffee cup ‘deeply regrets’ actions
http://www.cfra.com/NationalCP/Article.aspx?id=478733
I found the CBC clip indicative of a number of things:
1) Bad editing – poor technical skills with very expensive video equipment, indicating overpaid unskilled juveniles are in charge of production
2) Betrayal of civil protocol – this is the PM of Canada and CBC is a public servant who should show all due respect for the office
3) Malevolent bias – the mocking snide innuendo of comparing the PM to a TV evangelist with the “dear friends” cliché
4) Criminal Intent – this is just a small part of CBC’s multi year campaign to undermine fundamental democracy and sway an election with unrelenting negative one sided narratives
5) CCBC’s open political bias/partisanism is in breech of their commissioning documents and their own stated ethic –
6) CBC Ombudsman must be totally disempowered or totally biased placebo position to allow all the above go on for more than a decade
I don’t necessarily feel the cure is to shut down the CBC – but those running it now must be turfed and full disclosure/accountability and a set of rigid guidelines enforced mandating the CBC’s purpose – it is NOT a billion dollar public vehicle for vindictive SJWs to play with. It should be more like it was – a mix of Canadian entertainment, objective news and journalism, sports, and artistic outlet for film/TV/music that Canadians are interested to hear. Drop the preachy narratives and partisan bias or we drop the Mothercorpse.
I’m sure the trolls on here would be happy to pay up for the Canadian Broadcorping Castration, but count me out.
Sorry,Gabby, but since we fund the CBC, we do have a right not to be offended by them.

“And all just because the CBC isn’t as obsequious and servile to the CPC as this blog is”
Wow, you managed to use all the cliché’s in the Lib-bot lexicon,you’ve mastered redundant speech as well as incognizant duplicity – your programmers would be proud – what is it with you zombie partisans and your blindness to hypocrisy? Is this a genetic trait sliced into you at the Goebbels cloning clinic?
My complaint just sent to the CBC Ombudsman:
This YouTube Video by CBC mocking Prime Minister Stephen Harper is disgraceful. It’s bad enough that programs like 22 Minutes or Rick Mercer are allowed (encouraged?) by CBC to denigrate politicians and especially the prime minister, but such deliberate and malicious singling out of the prime minister is appalling. CBC touts its “fair and balanced” coverage – where are the same type of videos of Thomas Mulcair, Justin Trudeau, Elizabeth May?
“I don’t necessarily feel the cure is to shut down the CBC”
OK. Putting aside all the silliness of the CBC and its obviously partisan approach to reporting political matters, do we, as Canadians need to pony up a $1 billion plus per annum just for the privilege of having a public broadcaster, especially in this day and age?
The title is homophobic at the very least.

did the cbc have anything on justins latest diversity tax?
“The Liberals have promised to ‘take immediate action’ to bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada through government-sponsored applications, a plan they estimate would cost $100 million.”

Same old, same old, I sent the “DEFUND” etc to the ombudsman.
They can play all the silly games they want.
I don’t feel obliged however to pay for their bigoted, blatent crapola.
No, it’s because the CBC is that obsequious and servile to the progessive infants.
This reminds me that when John Major succeeded Margaret Thatcher all of the UK media subscribed to an informal convention that they wouldn’t use his name as an adjective to describe events – not just because it would be unfair to a politician to mock him with puns on his name but because it would make the press themselves look bad.
If you think it’s appropriate for our publicly-funded “national broadcaster” to do this to Stephen Harper and/or to have done it to John Turner it’s because you have finished growing up yet.
Privatize the left-wing CBC. Buy a bumper sticker, show your support.

Except for a few music programmes on ICI Musique, I more or less abandoned CBC/Radio-Canada some time ago.
Though BBC has its own problems as an information source, at least in the first 15 minutes of one of its global news reports you do actually get a useful round-up of what’s going on in the world.
On The National, those first 15 minutes will inevitably revolve around native and transgender concerns (and, because we’re now in the gruesome throes of the most boring Canadian election ever, predictable nonsense from the usual hacks and talking heads).
God save us.
Please understand, I am not losing any sleep over this. It is just a stunt. And I do not advocate sending the “DEFUND” message to the ombudsman because I am thinking that heads will roll over this or anything. I encourage you to send them the “DEFUND” message because apparently such things are great comedy, and the ombudsman’s office surely needs a good laugh. Or a few hundred good laughs. I am no humorless troll, and neither are they I am sure. I bet they will really enjoy the joke …… over and over and over again my FRIEND!
Wel if it was a montage of the little shiny pony, would people watching poke their eyes out with needles after the 300th Uuuh,Uuuh………..
Just askin’.
1 billion for the CBC or use the billion for Healthcare, you make the call
“1 billion for the CBC or use the billion for Healthcare, you make the call”
How about a truly conservative idea: just don’t spend that billion in taxes at all.
Three or four cbcpravda stories right now on ” pee gate”. We get disgusted. But remember the in depth coverage of jack Layton’s “rub and tug gate”.
Yeah neither do I
I have been a long-time proponent of this idea. Turfing the CBC and using the $1 billion plus for a specific purpose, such as Healthcare would blunt the inevitable outcry somewhat. Even the most obtuse lefty would not dare to criticize spending on Healthcare.
I know. I know. Healthcare is virtually a bottomless pit but it’s still money far better spent than propping up the CBC year after dreary year.
And besides …. the Friends of the CBC could make up the funding shortfall and keep their beloved broadcaster alive. What’s that you say? Lefties don’t use their own money to fund pet causes? Who knew?
I’m starting to get more than a little pissed that PMSH didn’t defund the monstrosity when he had the chance. Why didn’t you do it, Harper?
Harper had his chance to give the CBC the wheat board treatment. And he’s got his chance now to call them out for their bias. He decided to do neither, so I guess he’s okay with the CBC as it is.
If anybody here is really wants to do something about this, then I suggest a campaign against the companies whose advertising dollars support the CBC. But then again, if it was successful, I’m sure that the governing party – PC, Liberal, or NDP – would just make up any advertising deficiency with some more tax dollars.
JJM – close, but you’re still accepting the first premise:
” “1 billion for the CBC or use the billion for Healthcare, you make the call”
How about a truly conservative idea: just don’t spend that billion in taxes at all. ”
How about not stealing a billion more dollars from the taxpayer than are needed?
At some point I expect to see them undermining Tom Mulcair, otherwise the Hair Apparent will be staying where he is now, guarding his kitchen against pranksters of the same last name.
Some here might think that they would welcome the NDP but I seriously doubt that Liberals that dyed in the wool would be able to swallow their pride and allow the junior partners, the common people without Rosedale or Westmount connections, into power, even briefly.
But hey, if there were patronage on the line, then maybe.
This appears to be an attempt at creating news. They are hoping for backlash. Or maybe just clicks.
Of course, private blog sites are just as guilty, it’s just that we don’t have to fund them! Over at “Keeping it Real”, ex-journalist Oberfeld finds it perfectly alright for his guests to accuse the P.M. and one of his supporters, as “chicken hawks”! No bias there, no siree!
so who says a trimmed back public broadcaster will cost Canadians a cent – I said we don’t need to decommission it – have it crowd funded like PBS
BTW CTV and Global are private broadcasters and every bit as biased as CBC – but if I have cable I can’t help but fund them even if I don’t watch them by the way they tag onto “channel packages” .
The place to start with all this subsidized mediocrity in news and entertainment here is get at it through the CRTC – remove the official market protection and captive subscribership by removing “tiering” (piggy backing this crappy programming on a channel package with one popular channel) and the defunding will come from subscribers fleeing this substandard preachy lefty piety masquerading as news and entertainment.
If we had the choice of selecting what we watch and paying only those channels we select without subsidizing unwanted/unwatched channels, CBC and similar sub standard broadcasters would be insolvent in a month.
I’m told that this change is imminent with CRTC de-regulating cable packages next year and Cable companies are all for it because the sad state of Canadian cable has people going to internet streaming in droves.
Maybe the CBC deserves a couple of rounds of distributed denial of service attacks on their servers just for good measure.
