Things You’ll Never See On The CBC

CBC More Money Than Brains There Goes The Narrative 33 Comments

That’s my prediction.

Worried about the impact on the news brand, CBC is pausing production of a “satirical” show that appears to have been attacking conservatives and Canadian institutions. Called Northland Tales, the show is being co-produced by CBC and APTN, though a statement from CBC went to great lengths to stress that it was CBC Entertainment and not CBC News behind the production.

After controversy erupted online about the production using fake names and false pretenses to get people, including retired Mounties, to agree to interviews, CBC has confirmed it is hitting pause while also defending this style of production.

  2. Everything CBC is satire. Production.
    Snowbirds Air Farce.
    Question Period 22 Minutes.

    1. Accountability Thor, is a ruthless, dog-eat-dog “American” concept.*

      As Canadians, we are more kind, fair, compassionate, nuanced, understanding, and empathetic compared to our mean-spirited, naive, cause-and-effect-believing knuckle-dragging neighbors to the south. And when I say “kind, fair, compassionate, nuanced, understanding, and empathetic” what I mean is “preeningly superior in every conceivable capacity.”

      *and yes, accountability is also on life support in the USA, but that’s not the issue here – what’s important is that Canadians BELIEVE that accountability is a ruthless, dog-eat-dog American concept that they are somehow “above.”

      I truly believe that this sentiment informs a considerable part of “our” (present company excluded) national consciousness.

  4. Fire
    Them
    All
    Every damn one of them
    Then disband the institution and demolish the buildings
    After that salt the earth where the buildings once stood

    1. Use the buildings as homeless and illegal immigrant shelters first, without any maintenance until they become shit-holes dirty enough to match the crap that came out of CBC.

      Don’t be downwind during demolition.

  5. I am not personally a fan of the RCMP, AND I don’t like that any of their members were humiliated in this way, not one bit. Their job was never easy. This farce was a one sided, communist style struggle session, without the dummy signs on the victims, or the physical abuse, or the eventual public execution. And I wouldn’t be surprised if clandestine orders came from the Liberal cabinet for the CBC to conduct these interviews, to gauge whether or not we have reached Roman Empire level of corruption. Remember the Roman Empire where political prisoners were handed weapons and forced to duke it out to the death in the arena against professional gladiators? Well, the Roman Empire didn’t start there either but that is where it ended up before its collapse.

  6. Canada produces some great people – two come to mind:
    Jordan Peterson
    Gad Saad

    America and this American would like to thank Canada’s bat $$hitt crazy Left for driving these great men out of your country and into Arizona for Peterson and his family (just watched his daughter interview Canadian Wes Huff – the Christian aplogetics expert) – and now Gad Saad who is leaving Concordia University in Montreal and will now be at the University of Mississippi’s Declaration of Independence Center for the Study of American Freedom.

    Your loss – our gain. It’s a tragedy but a blessing.

    Maybe we can send you Zohran Mamdani and Kamala Harris in exchange – they would be right at home in Ottawa.

  7. Stop going on their shows. Just stop.

    Man in the street? Nope. Open mic? Nope. Studio interview? Nope.

    Then what are they going to do?

    1. Well … that’s what your government does to Rebel Media … so the CBC deserves equal treatment, eh?

      1. “…so the CBC deserves equal treatment, eh?”

        What they -deserve- is a little beyond our political reach just at the moment. I’ll settle for them being shunned and shut out of public life, as if they were rabid dogs. For now.

    1. Here’s an RCMP (ret) officer I’d like to shake hands with:

      … “and I was embarrassed. I’m sitting there. I’m telling them my my my last day of work, which I basically quit, guys. I basic basically quit the RCMP.

      8:56 “That’s why I was going to Vancouver. And when they were at my house, they gave me a contract right before the interview and I signed it. And I look at the contract and I signed my life away.

      18:56 “So it’s three cops in this car. We’re going to CBC. We’re in right in Vancouver at CBC Studios. And I’m like I say, “Guys, I can’t believe I’m here because CBC hates me because I bug I’ve been bugging them for years.”

      24:45 “We still don’t know why we’re there. We were I was starting to think, oh, this is why we’re here, just to have a a small, you know, interview with the other cops. Then this lady, bat crazy lady comes out and goes, “Hey guys, this is why you’re here. You’re going to meet Prince William. Now I’m getting angry. So, we go we’re going into an elevator. We’re going up and down and around. I say to both the cops that we’re with, I said, “Why do I feel like we’re about to get in trouble?” Because that’s what it felt like. And I’m looking for the Secret Service. If the royal family’s around.

      29:29 “And then all of a sudden Kevin, the other cop, gets up and sings the national anthem. And I’m like, “Hey man.” He sits back down. I’m like, I’m trying to make him feel good. I’m like, “Uh, good job.” So embarrassing. It’s cringy. I felt bad for him. What? They convinced you to sing? And then off to our right; they have a television screen; a massive television screen that we can’t see.; We can only hear it. We can see kind of. I’m like this the whole time watching King Charles making an announcement on live TV in front of the audience that uh the RCMP has messed up; I’m just waiting for him to stop talking and I didn’t get it. But he said he’s dissolving the RCMP; And then the native man gets up and he delivers maybe a 15minute speech and he’s talking about how it’s the best day in the world that the RCMP is being dissolved. And I start looking around. I’m like; “How the hell do I get off this stage?; I’m I’m just sick and tired of it.

      35:20 “Tired of saying sorry. And I’m sitting there thinking; “Oh my god; we’re saying sorry again to them.” That’s what I was thinking. And Prince Prince William gets up. He comes out and starts saying sorry again. I’m like “Shut up.” And when Prince William comes out; I look at him and I go; “That’s not Prince William. And now I’m realizing I’m sitting there for a reason. These people; these production people wanted me to feel humiliated on stage; which I did. Maybe there’s a different prince that I don’t know. I convinced myself that it’s some other royal family; but I can’t walk out. I made an oath when I got my badge to the royal family. That’s why it’s called Royal Canadian Mounted Police. And I don’t blame any cop that was involved in this that stayed because it was designed to make you stay. You could not leave that stage. They get down to the end of it where they’re going to seal the deal with a handshake. That’s how they’re going to do it. The RCMP and I’m like going to be dissolved with a handshake. And I’m like; oh my god; Clint. Now I’m like; is is this fake? Is this phony? Even if it is phony Clint; if you shake their hand; everything you’ve said on your channels will be obsolete. You I’m going to be the fake. I’m going to be the phony if I I’m not going to shake his hand.

      38:05 “I’m not going to shake this prince’s hand. I’m not going to agree to this. And I’m like; “Oh god it took everything I had to walk off that stage. it would have been easy to stay. So; I walk off the stage.; I’m going up the aisle and I stop halfway and I turn around to see if the other two cops were going to follow me; hoping that they would; but they didn’t. They stayed. And I’m like; “Get me the f out of here.” Eigor; I think it’s Eigor, he’s on me right away. “Are you done with the show?” I thought that was weird, the show? That’s a weird thing to say. And we get out and now I got cameras. We’re going back to the green room and I got cameras all over me. Big group of people following me trying to get my reaction. Get back to the green room. I’m going to go outside for a cigarette. Jeff has the camera on me. I said; “Jeff; get the camera. Put the camera down; man. I’m smoking a cigarette.” And then this Eigor is beside me. And I’m like; “Who are you? Why are you standing beside me?” I thought that was weird. Isn’t it over? And I ripped the uh mic off of me. I’m done and we go back inside and I’m looking for my jacket. “Hey guys, you know where my jacket is? Nobody knows where my jacket is. They took my phone; by the way; before all this. I forgot about my phone. And I’m like; “Where’s my jacket?” I go in the hallway. You guys know where my jacket is? I come back in. It’s just me.

      39:53 “The other two cops are still on stage going through. They’re shaking their hands going through a big ceremony agreeing to the dissolvement of the RCMP. Anyway; so we start walking to the washroom. All the cameras are following us. I said; “Guys; I’ll hold it.” Okay. But as I was walking down the hallway; Michael Brunette is around the corner hiding. And I walk up to him and I said; “Dude; you knew all you knew all about this. This was a scam what you did on me. He wouldn’t look at me. Wouldn’t say a word to me. Just crumbled. Crumb was worried. I think they thought I was going to attack. So; we go back to the green room. The two cop the other two cops; they sit on the couch. They’re going to be interviewed again. Uh; how’d you feel? You know; how was what’ you think about all that? And a lady says to me; one of the producers says; “Uh; please sit on the couch.” And I said; “No; I’m good. I’m good.” And I’m I’m telling myself; Clint; they’re trying to get your reaction. Don’t give them content. Save the content for your channel. What’s the best thing I could do right now? No reaction.; said; “No; no; I’m good. I’m not going to sit on the couch.” She asked a third time. I said; “I’m not sitting on the couch.”

      42:24 “So; I’m trying to I’m trying to be a cool dude even though I look like a loser; and they’re this this batshit crazy blondhaired lady is asking them asks; you know; Paul; how’d you feel? Oh; wow. Yeah; they’re dissolving the RCMP. I don’t know what he said. They go to Kevin and Kevin says it’s a; you know; “it’s about time. It’s about time that something like that. It’s about time that they’re dissolving the RCMP.” And I’m like; what the? Then they come to me and I I’m like; “Oh; what do I say?” I don’t want to say anything. I don’t want to talk. How’d you feel; Clinton? I said, “Well, I was effing pissed off on that stage.” And everything that was said on the stage was ridiculous. They laughed. And when I said I was effing pissed off, they all laughed. But when I said everything that was said on the stage was ridiculous, they were offended. What do you mean by that? And I’m thinking, okay, if I get into this, I’m going to be here for 4 hours and I’m going to be battling all these guy. I don’t want I’m not going down that road. And then Kevin started talking again. And then they make the announcement that it was a social experiment. It was in a simulation. And the entire time they said that, my face was like, “Yes, no surprise. Anyway, so they keep on talking. I’m off to the side. I want to get out of there. I can’t get out of there. I don’t got any of my items. And then Kevin says something and I turn to Eigor and I go, “What the? are they in on it, too?” And he looks at me shocked. He goes and gets my phone. Gives me my phone. So, oh, yeah. I forgot. I said, “Can I go get my jacket?”

      45:39 “It’s in the makeup room. Immediately, I’m good to go now because I’m starting to catch on to everything. So we go we go to the makeup room. 15 people follow me. And we’re in the makeup room and they’re still interviewing me. Hey Clint; this fancy shirt guy. He actually might be in one of the pictures. He wants me to talk about it and he wants me to put down the RCMP. And I’m like; man; I’m proud of my surge. I’m proud that I was a cop. The problems with the RCMP are bosses. I said the RCMP are awesome because they were just CBC wants little old ladies; the only people that watch it; to believe that the RCMP are the devil; that they’re evil; and they’re not. That surge means everything to me; more than my channel. And he goes; Clint; you know what? Um; we we did this yesterday with three other cops; and one cop gave his surge up; gave it to us. And I said, uh, what’s his name? He goes, Paul. It’s another Paul. Paul. And I said, what’s his last name? I don’t know. I don’t know his last name. Because I wanted to contact Paul. I wanted to make sure he’s all right. Because cops, man, that’s all they have at the end of re some of them. That’s all they have at the end of retirement is, you know, being proud that they were a police officer, being proud that they were a Mounty.

      50:32 And don’t tell me the CBC ain’t it. It’s the CBC studios. And then I find out one of the members, a guy who did it the day before I found out his name and I called him and he was very reluctant on the telephone to talk to me, but he started telling me the story and he’s saying it’s a great it was a great experience and I can I said, “Can you tell me the greatness about it?” And he goes, “You’re recording this.” He hung up the telephone won’t talk to me. And after I came home, I I called up I found Kevin’s number and I called Kevin just at the we talked for about 45 minutes and I’m like did you get what was going and he had a great experience too. He goes they had good intentions and I’m like what are you talking about? Good intentions. I said we we look like fools, man. What do you No, I don’t see it that way. So when it does hit the air, they’re going to make it look like I think they wanted to get members to agree with the dissolvement. The RCMP members to agree even they agree that we should get rid of the RCMP.

      52:12 See, when you a when you stand on stage and you shake their hand agreeing to the dissolvement of the RCMP, you can’t go back on your word when they tell you, “Hey, it was all fake.” What are you going to say then? It was a terrible experience. But I’m talking to Kevin on the phone. He mentioned something about fight or flight. I’m like, dude, do you think flight would have been staying on the stage? Me walking off was fight, not flight. Then I get a hold of another lady. She did it a day before.

      54:09 She’s not doing good. Way to go, CBC. She told me her story and that’s when I realized that Kevin knew all about it. She did the exact same scenario with Kevin the cop. The day before they hired him for the second day. Come on back. We’ll pay you more money. Pretend that you don’t know anything about it. We use the woman’s phone and I recorded the entire conversation. We have a 30 minute conversation. I call him up and I’m like, “Hey Kevin, it’s Clinton Jaws.” Hello. Hey Kev, it’s Clinton Jaws. How you doing? is everything okay? I found out that uh that maybe you might have set me up a little bit. “Hey, where’d you find that out?”

      57:07 “But he’s honestly not to blame. He’s not the evil one. None of us are. It’s them, the CBC.”

      No Clinton, it’s the Liberal Party of Canada.

      1. I hate to be the spelling asshole, but for future reference, it’s red *serge*, not surge.

  9. The CBC employees who set this up, have had their show paused, maybe canceled, but the individuals repsonsible weren’t fired.
    There are +40 drama or comedic shows each year on CBC, and about 10-15 replaced with new entertainment each year.
    So they’re moved on to create new content for the CBC in other shows, either as a team or as individuals.

  10. Pausing.

    We’re seeing this word way too often nowadaze.
    It is very cynical and means “delay until it blows over”.
    We are also seeing the word “prank” used incorrectly; it is not a prank — it is something far more serious: f r a u d.

  11. The story was on CBC’s website this morning, after two women who “…expressed controversial opinions about Canada’s residential schools claimed they were targetted by the show.” Rather than apologize for their ham-fisted attempt at ‘comedy’, the CBC’s Chuck Thompson used the Corp’s bully pulpit to further smear Frances Widdowson and Lindsay Taylor for daring to question the Kamloops Indian band claims of 215 ‘potential’ grave sites. The Kamloops band has been given more than $12 million dollars yet refuses to dig up the ‘grave’ site to prove or disprove their claim.

  12. FILTHY LIBERALS

    PP has some Clear Issues to Separate (Pun intended) his Party from the DIRTY FILTHY LIBERALS

    1) Cancel ALTO
    2) Destroy the CBC, not a “Reform”. They must be dealt with as an ENEMY OF LIBERTY.
    3) Stop ALL Media Funding, make it illegal for the Government to pay for phoney Goodwill and corrupt media
    4) Repeal the Carbon taxes, all of them
    5) Repeal the GST.
    6) Cut the useless Civil Servant class by 60%
    7) Buy American Weapons and Planes only
    8) Punch Carney in the Throat

    God Damn the FILTHY LIBERALS

  13. CBC is going through these motions, but I suspect they have already made up their mind. This show will not be broadcast. It would be a legal, ethical, and relational nightmare.

    Now we have to figure out how much they spent on it, and why they failed to monitor the production as they are required to do.

    1. It would be a legal, ethical, and relational nightmare.

      So, like everything else they produce…

  14. “…CBC went to great lengths to stress that it was CBC Entertainment and not CBC News behind the production.”

    Like there’s a difference between news propaganda and entertainment propaganda. And like that makes it okay.

    These are the same type of people that made the Soviet Union the hell that it was. We should let them know that we can see them for what they are.

    1. I guess running cover and interference for the liberal party didn’t protect them. Too bad. Corrupt meet corrupt.
      corrupt
      /kə-rŭpt′/
      intransitive verb
      To ruin morally; pervert.
      To destroy or subvert the honesty or integrity of, as by offering bribes.
      To cause to become rotten; spoil

  18. Why would CBC cancel this?
    Why not full steam ahead, damn the torpedoes?
    Aren’t they proud of their work?
    Aren’t they proud of their efforts to produce value for the tax dollars they are given?

  19. Related?

    “The CBC did not actually make Prairie Giant. It was produced by an independent company called Minds Eye Entertainment. The CBC merely paid for the temporary right to broadcast it on TV in Canada. When the historical inaccuracy scandal blew up, the following legal and financial steps took place: CBC walked away: The CBC cancelled its future broadcast plans, pulled the DVDs from its store, and officially gave up its distribution rights to distance itself from the controversy. The rights were sold: In 2007, to settle the legal and financial mess, the CBC officially sold its distribution rights back to the independent producers. Global distribution took over: Because the independent producers (and global distributors) completely own the master files, they are legally free to license the miniseries to international streaming platforms. Because of this, digital retailers like Apple TV and free streaming apps like Tubi can legally host the show worldwide. “

  21. Well, they’ve kindled my ire, and now I’m going to sit on it! How’s that for sat ire?
