Mulroney Privilege

Cancelled 110 Comments

The self-cancelling will continue until morale improves.

Ben Mulroney announced on today’s broadcast of CTV’S YOUR MORNING that he has decided to pass the mic and make way for new, diverse voices by stepping down from his role as anchor on CTV’s ETALK.
 
In his return as co-host of YOUR MORNING following a scheduled vacation last week, Mulroney addressed the issues surrounding his family in an emotional address at the top of the show.
 
“Last Saturday, I watched on CTV as my colleagues led a national conversation about how we can take action against systemic racism. That conversation showed me, more than ever, we need more Black voices, more Indigenous voices, and more People of Colour in the media… And that is why I have decided to immediately step away from my role as an anchor at ETALK to create a space for a new perspective and a new voice,” he said.

@jonkay – I love that he gets to designate the ethnicity of his successor

    1. Neither did I? How did I manage to survive all these years?

      1. derek, It does not matter. As mediocre as he was this PC bullshit has to stop. Stupid people are destroying the damn country and the f-ing world. What the f is wrong with us? How did we go from sane rational people to flat out f-ing idiots. And yes, all those who think they are all knowing, are all stupid.

        1. OWG, just study religious history, and you have your answer, the RCC is the communist’s model

          1. Wait until they start whipping themselves in the streets in order to atone for…for…for…whatever.

          2. You racist muther F*cker, f*ck you and your idiotic racist BS. What a f*cking loser,you no shit about anything free speech of conservative values. Learn to code you f*cking loser!

            What are you a pig farmer? No a stupid welfare grub, say no more………….

    1. But at least he had the “smarts” to keep to the entertainment world…and didn’t delve into politics (yet?!?)

    2. Td: Yep. Another one.

      Derek,never heard of it either. I’m sure we both missed something profound.

      This would be a good time for Ben Mulroney to offer his services to his Father’s good friend and fellow Liberal,Justin Trudeau. Two of my favorite public statements by a sitting PM were: when asked by the PM of Japan if reparations were necessary for Canadian WW2 prisoners captured at Hong Kong, Mulroney replied, “no,it was a long time ago”.

      And my # 2 all time fave” Trudeau’s response to an Afghan veteran amputee,” you’re asking for more than we can give”.

      Surely there is room in the Liberal Party for another handsome young sonofaprimeminister.

      1. There is no room in the Liberal Party for anyone except Justin Trudeau and his unquestioning acolytes. No one else is tolerated.

    4. In contrast to Trudeau, I have liked Ben Mulroney. At least he had the good sense to stick with being a media performer– vs. Justin who decided to pretend to be Prime Minister. As for his latest, may be he was invited to step down. I just hope his next gig is not politics.

  3. So, they’re going to let one talentless hack step aside and put another talentless hack in his place?

    Why should I care?

  4. My favourite thing is that all these woke CEOs and board chairmen are white men telling all of us that racial minorities need more opportunities for positions of power. Then resign. At least Ben walks the talk.

    1. The only reason I watch TV with any frequency is Turner Classic Movies. (OK, I like Better Call Saul on AMC as well.)

    1. Meghan who? I thought she already had a job: freeloading off Harry.

      1. Ben and Jessica can now openly freeload off of Meghan and Harry. After all, they have been doing so for several years now.

        I don’t think Ben did this of his own accord. Bell-Globe Media had enough of his virtue-signalling wife and easily cancelled her last week. I think the company gave him an ultimatum: your wife or your job. Ben probably got a small financial settlement and his two-minutes of free air-time to sound-off.

        No matter. Two less lightweight Twits to worry about.
        I can’t wait for Prime Minister Freeland and the back-back-room Liberal adults (I mean the guys far beyond the PMO: the Desmarais clan, the Goldenberg/Chretien/Manley money boys) cast another talent-free spawn aside.

  7. Last month we were all genocidal maniacs, then climate change denialists
    This week we are all racists. Next week end of the world proponents. Man oh man, what a world we live in!

    Pass the torch. What? An arsonist you say?

        1. I hear that, brother. Clink! Whiskey soothes the lobes and helps to even get past how weirdly Ben freakishly resembles Blackie. Is it a trust fund Quebec gene, or what?
          Oh, well, pour another whiskey…..repeat.

        2. “Claret is the liquor for boys, port for men; but he who aspires to be a hero must drink brandy.” Samuel Johnson

  8. When you are struggling for relevancy, becoming even less relevant to more people isn’t the best strategy. I certainly won’t miss someone I’ve never watched. Perhaps the drones running the media outlets should consider diversity of ideology instead of melanin.

  9. What? Who? Never heard of him or watched that show! Son of Brian Mul- ruin you say?
    This is news? Sigh!

  10. “…as my colleagues led a national conversation about how we can take action against systemic racism.”

    I f***ing HATE that expression “a conversation” used in this context. It’s like calling a Red Guard led struggle session during the Cultural Revolution a “conversation”. It’s NOT a conversation. I conversation involves mutual respect and back-and-forth dialog. It does NOT involve you hectoring me into acquiescence because you think my thoughts are wrong somehow.

    Not to mention that I REFUSE to acknowledge their premise in the first place. “Systemic racism” is not a real thing. Not here.

    2. Systemic racism is a thing in Canada. We have a charter of rights and privileges where one section says you can’t discriminate on the basis of race, then the very next section says it’s ok to discriminate against whitey. You might want to familiarize yourself with it.

      1. Section 15 and 15(2) to be specific.
        Possibly the worst part of the Canadian Charter of Blights and Fiefdoms.

  11. So his wife got herself cancelled and took down the husband too. Call it a 2-fer.

    And to your point about him choosing the gender and ethnicity of the replacement, Isn’t that obvious bigotry?

    Of course intersectionality is the most racist philosophy there is, just don’t tell them that.

    1. So his wife got herself cancelled and took down the husband too. Call it a 2-fer.

      And that’s supposed to be bad news?

  12. I think he’s saying ALL white people need to resign and give a colored person their jobs!

    Lets start with Trudeau and the whole Liberal cabinet, we could fly in the entire South African or Zimbabwean governments to take their jobs, if they object it’s because they are RACIST!

    1. we could fly in the entire South African or Zimbabwean governments to take their jobs

      Would we notice any difference in how the country is being run if they were?

      2. Yes, it would improve the economy and stop the Liberal whining about color & diversity (no white people yea)……………….

  13. Last Saturday, he watched his colleagues participate in a mob attack and now he is grovelling to them.

    Pathetic.

    This is as much time as I wish to devote to ANY Mulroney.

  14. So if Ben chooses a black can we assume he is racist against Asians.

    Too bad there wasn’t some sort of system to figure out which individual would be best suited to a job… that would really help Ben avoid being blatantly racist.

  15. So a vapid show about lightweight, overexposed and publicized “stars” gets a new host, one with more pigmentation and accent as well no doubt.

    Can we all say a collective WHO CARES?

    Anyone that watches these shows that give tongue baths to “celebrities” needs a lesson in what self-esteem means, and, to realize that these narcissists they worship, are no different than anybody else, except the size of their egos.

    1. Anyone that watches these shows that give tongue baths to “celebrities” needs a lesson in what self-esteem means, and, to realize that these narcissists they worship, are no different than anybody else, except the size of their egos.

      Ray Bradbury foretold that in the character of Guy Montag’s wife in Fahrenheit 451. She spent her day constantly glued to the telly and was devoted to what was shown.

  16. Trudeau should step down and allow a coloured person to take over as PM.
    Any colour.

      1. And he can’t remember how many times he was black. He only remembers that we’re all racist.

  17. When did we all become gay and black in this country. We are seeing less and less of our demographic.Well there are the bloated karens we see on cbc.. Watching Kayleigh on Fox now.. How refreshing!

    1. Do you mean that when we see 80% of TV ads depict minority families, that’s not demographically accurate?

        1. STFU you racist, F*cking idot, have you ever had a a coherent comment on SDA?

          Didn’t think so, you simpleton!

  18. Ben Mulroney is pissed off right now. Basically the woke mafia cancelled his wife AND then they went after him (successfully). This appears to me like a guy saying, alright fuckers, you think you can do better, then go ahead, I’m GONE… and I’m not gone following some transitional period or after my two weeks notice are over, I’m gone NOW. And his indication of hiring a non-white will almost definitely be the case and this will inherently mean that NOT the most competent replacement will be selected. So essentially he’s sunk this program.

  19. Wanna bet he parlay’s this into something else in “Entertainment”! Virtue signalling supreme! If another whitey takes that place, there would be lynchings of entertainment execs, only white ones though! Maybe they can hire a former ethnically diverse sports athlete to replace him, that’s never been done before eh!
    Sigh, this so tiresome. So lets think this through, All white’s in leading entertainment positions need to step aside, to allow more “ethnically diverse peoples” to participate! So perhaps most sports that already have an overwhelming number of “ethnically diverse athletes”, should also have them step aside, to let white’s participate on a more ethnically balanced scale! Then, as they watch their revenues tank, they can really feel good about themselves.

    Don’t think it works like that in the real world, yet Ben was able to get his start in entertainment because he had a former prime minister as a father, had nice hair, was somewhat photogenic, and no other talents were noted or noticed! Hey, just like our current Prime minister had a former prime minister for a father, or maybe step father, had nice hair and was somewhat photogenic, with no other talents noted or noticed! Hmmmm, I see a pattern developing here!

    Well, lets be honest, a lot of movie stars, and models, male and female, got their start because they had nice hair, were photogenic and really look good in skimpy swim ware, but had no noted or noticed talents! OK, at the risk of getting hounded off of SDA, when do you think we’ll see Juthin and Ben on center spreads in skimpy swim ware? Ouch! I’m starting to duck and hide as of right now.

  20. I’m sure him leaving etalk has nothing to do with his cohost trashing his wife on social media. He’s quite the man not defending his wife and taking the side of her accusers.

  21. What a joke. What a bunch of wimps. Frankly, western culture deserves to collapse with dorks like this guy.

    1. The type of culture he best represents is usually found in Petri dishes.

      1. Ben Mulroney perfectly represents the hip, progressive downtown Toronto neighbourhood he and his wife live in.

        PS. He would perfectly fit in to Edmonton’s Oliver neighbourhood (or whatever “They” decide to call it next week)

    2. +++ Art, those of us who are unable to think need to go. I need to be able to step on them.

    1. IDNF, that is the sad part. No one cares. I don’t give a damn how bad he was, or who watched. The whole thing is all about what we can or cannot say. I will kick the first available ass down the street.

  23. So let me get this straight.

    A show that is all about an industry that has been co-opted by political correctness is being destroyed by political correctness.

    Isn’t this one of those moments where you don’t pick a side?
    There has to be another moment coming soon where another son of an ex prime minister decides he should step down because of lack of diversity.
    I’m surprised nobody has suggested it.
    I mean if it’s the fashionable thing to do, and some politicians are quick to do the fashionable thing without thinking.

  24. They are canceling, destroying white culture now.

    one day they will cancel white people.

    North America will be like South Africa

    whites will be hunted down.

  25. Give me Greta for PM! Check her DNA. Probably a mixed bag. She’ll fit right in.

  26. Heh. “…my privilege has benefited me greatly”.
    You don’t say? Poor little bootlicker, probably thinks he wasn’t hired because of daddy.

  27. Having commented on this a few times now , I guess stupid still reigns supreme. No one grasps the import of what is being done.

  28. I cut the cable about 3 years ago. Couldn’t stand the 24/7 Trudeau gushing and TDS at Constant Trudeau Vision, GloBull and the rest of the bought and paid for. All I can add is Ben Mulroney who?
    CTV should go all in and hire Omar Khadr.

  30. Ben, you are incredibly brave for stepping aside in the manner you did.

    But….

    why stop there?

    What about the money you’ve earned while in your position? Perhaps you could give it all away to cement the point of your privilege….. Money earned before taxes of course

    What about the possessions you were able to acquire while in that position? Either by lighting a match to it, or again, giving everything away could further your transition into a lowly, white, privileged male weakling.

    Investments, savings, future earnings…. all gone to for the cause. Not just yours, but also your entire family. All of it. Gone.

    The ’cause’ of course includes me judging from your words.

    But unlike you, I don’t believe I have anything to apologize for. I have actually worked very hard and sacrificed to have what my family and I have, and I will retain it.

    You sir, are the problem. Weakness is rampart in these parts nowadays. 3 generations removed from the greatest feat this country has accomplished

    And in case you were wondering Ben, your condescending speech and your early retirement….. nobody cares. Nobody

    I will have forgotten you as soon as this gets posted

  31. Here on SDA we should start a shaming campaign to encourage ALL Canadian broadcasters to immediately resign. When they don’t, we shall immediately know the depth of their hypocrisy!

    1. shaming campaign to encourage ALL Canadian broadcasters

      That would be a waste of time. They have no shame.

  32. Ben thinks his leaving as host of, whatever the show is called, will hurt it’s ratings and force them to hire on the basis of race. He’s angry at the lot of them and there’s little else he can do to go to get revenge for his wife’s firing. His marriage is more important than his job.

    Wonder how their relationship with Meghan is doing?

    1. Ben is doing just what Meghan did earlier this year. Resigning from The Firm. They’ll get along even better than before.

  34. After doing #etalk for 18 years a guy can’t be too greedy if he already has 1.5 jobs that he can still keep. He, apparently, retains “etalk at the Oscars” albeit, a short gig.

    Plus, in June 2016, he was announced as the cohost, with Anne-Marie Mediwake, of CTV’s new morning show “Your Morning”, which replaced the venerable “Canada AM”. There were other gigs that were canceled. See list in link. But somebody still likes Ben at CTV. He’s a lawyer after all.

    See more info here:

    Maybe Ben wants to spend more time at Harrington Lake? He grew up there, like Trudeau. He does have royal best friends and friends in high places doesn’t he? He may be especially proud of the latter. Or, he may be considering a run in Federal politics. He is bilingual, and most qualified.

    See more info here. This story may be false– but ‘somebody’ spread rumours here:

    1. Or, he may be considering a run in Federal politics. He is bilingual, and most qualified.

      As if the Liberal father-and-son BOHICA wasn’t enough for this country…..

      1. Right you are.
        But their standards are: “must be bilingual”… that’s all.

        Degree in law, optional.
        Degree in anything, optional.

        #Bilingue#Bilingue#Bilingue#Bilingue#Bilingue#Bilingue. / s
        Barf!

        Wexit

  35. What a self-important twat. Now do the NHL…outed as a racist organization by none other than Ron McLean. Do better.

    Hopefully we clear the auger of all this chaff at some point. (Lord knows it will take a long while in this country)

  36. “Jessica Mulroney was accused of threatening the career of Sasha Exeter, a Black lifestyle influencer from Toronto.”
    Guess who’s the likely replacement ?
    Gotta love the jargon: ‘lifestyle influence’. It seems we have an All About Eve sequel.

    1. Can anyone tell me what the dickens an “influencer” is and why that’s even considered an occupation, let alone one that’s perceived as legitimate?

      Does that mean we’re to be what the Kinks described in this ditty:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLhpkGVKxZE

      I never really appreciated the music of the Kinks, but events in the last few years made me aware of the biting satire in some of their songs.

  37. How about Ghomeshi as a replacement? He must be looking for work. Anything to give Mulroney a little extra kick to the jujubes is all right by me.

    1. Ghomeshi? Those sad sack women at etalk would likely get the first action they’ve had in a lot of years whether they want it or not.

  38. If someone virtue signals alone in the forest, and there’s no one there to hear, is it really virtue signaling?

    Or maybe since the ratings suck, he said “screw it, I’m outta here”

  39. Nice, both insufferable Mulrooney’s gone in 1 week.

    I think it might be time to bring back G-yawn. CTV usually grabs old cbc hacks and hasn’t G-yawn done his time? He checks off all the boxes.

  40. I’ll straighten this out. Jessica Mulroney has a disagreement with a totally untalented and unknown black lady. Disagreeing with an untalented black lady is the worst kind of racism. The stunned pigs at CTV fire her from her weekly TV show that nobody has ever watched. She grovels and figuratively gives them oral. She’s still fired.

    Ben Mulroney who has a couple daily TV shows, a morning news program and etalk, an entertainment program. Ben’s co-workers at etalk all shit on his wife. They are all racist minorities who hate white people. Ben then takes a week off and is likely fired from etalk. He further throws his wife under the bus, gives more oral to CTV who then throw him under the bus. The Mulroneys should call the lawyers. No more oral.

  41. Ben should talk to his buddy Justin and get himself appointed chairman of the CRTC. Management at CTV would be crapping themselves.

      1. That my good man, is the winner post on this thread! HARDEHAR. HAHAHAHAHA! Suddenly, I might get to like Ben. Who knew?

  42. If Mulroney “thinks” that there should be more blacks on the air, rather than resign or appoint someone, he could do his gig in blackface and “act” more black. After all, It’s the “thought” that counts and he is already “acting” somewhat like a BLM spokesperson. sarc/off

  43. Good Lord. I thought Brian was the master kiss ass. Apparently he passed this talent on to his son Ben. We are awash in hypocrisy and bull shit.

    1. We have ALWAYS been awash in hypocrisy and bull shit. It is just now much more widely broadcast and publicized, thanks to Twitter and the like.

  45. Proud racist here. I’m also a proud sexist transphobic homophobe. Deal with it, ignore it or GTFO. I don’t care.

  46. Faster please. I hope all these nutbags get fired for being white. Fire every damn last one of them. Enjoy the world you created idiots.

  47. Maybe Gomeshi can replace him. He’s off-white isn’t he? Also, he may count as a sexual minority, with his uncommon sexual proclivities.

  48. Must be nice to be able to afford to quit a job out of self loathing. #EliteWhitePrivledge

    1. No they have not, but Rex has screwed any chances he might have had to get one of those honorary degrees or sit on a board somewhere.

      1. Rex got his CBC pension a few years back. They can’t legally take it away from him. I bet that makes him very happy.

  50. Well the dystopian future we’ve all read about, seen movies of, and probably feared, is upon us. And justine just took away everyones guns to boot!
