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."

Also — leaving aside for a moment the fact that I’m not the author of the post you’re taking me to task for — you didn’t answer the question: If something written weeks ago, or months ago, wasn’t “discovered” (as it were) at the time, on what basis can you or anyone else say – angrily – that it’s not worthy of note now? Is this “off-limits” directive of yours based strictly on the time elapsed, or are there additional criteria?
Whatever criteria you’re using, your “rules” would certainly change the nature of public discussion:
”In a recently discovered post on social media British Prime Minister David Cameron confessed to butchering his neighbours’ cats and serving them to guests at 10 Downing Street. In the Facebook post, Cameron wrote…..wait, hang on, scratch that, I just realized Cameron’s post is from three weeks ago…”
Next time FIRE. THEM. ALL. Burn it all down to the damn ground. We’ll be accused of doing it anyway so do it and say you’re proud of it.
What I got from the CBC:
“You’re right, of course, that this tweet is problematic, and risks compromising public perception of the CBC’s integrity. So let me tell you what happened, and what we’re doing now.
First, understand that Mr. Penner is not an employee. He is a freelancer who provides
content for programs in both Alberta and Saskatchewan. When he is on our airwaves he discusses gardening, not politics or other social issues. So he simply didn’t realize that expressing his personal opinions would have an impact on the CBC, which is essentially a client of his.
Today, he understands that very well. We’ve followed up with Mr. Penner to review his obligations as a freelancer for CBC. I don’t anticipate this being a recurring issue.
Thanks again for your email. I hope my reply has reassured you about the integrity of CBC News and Centres. ”
When Don Cherry mentions politics, the loony left explode in anger.. but this is “problematic”.
Public apology or get fired.
