The main story at the CBC website is that O’Toole is a right wing, anti-vax nutcase. The CBC also explains that going full Indian is good for business. Universities can make lots of money, if only they would eliminate ties to our racist, colonial, settler past. We must all join the rewriting of history. Join Justin’s team to change Canada.
Today in Church Bashing
So much journalizing.
Millions meant for residential school survivors spent on Catholic Church lawyers, administration: documents
The Roman Catholic Church spent millions of dollars that were supposed to go to residential school survivors on lawyers, administration, a private fundraising company and unapproved loans, according to documents obtained by CBC News.
The documents include a host of other revelations. They appear to contradict the Catholic Church’s public claims about money paid to survivors.
Wow! They must have a great source to back this all up.
A source directly involved in the case verified their authenticity. CBC News is not naming the source
Meanwhile in nothing to see here land.
A Tale of Two Tweets
Guess which one comes from an esteemed CBC “journalist”.
Scratch The CBC
Watch out, Al Jazeera, the CBC is on your turf. When it comes to presenting a particularly one-sided view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the controversial Qatari network will have to work to keep up with the platoon of CBC activis… er, journalists, who think their taxpayer-funded network (and all news organizations) must become even more negative toward Israel than they already are.
During the recent battle between Israel and Hamas, almost three-dozen of Mothercorp’s high-minded news types signed, along with several hundred people also claiming to be journalists, an open letter condemning Canadian media’s insufficiently critical “coverage of forced expulsions and indiscriminate airstrikes” in the Gaza Strip.

Why don’t you watch CBC?
Because its racist.
In social media posts, two stars of the Canadian series (now streaming on Netflix) share behind-the-scenes experiences of working on a show they claim suffered from diversity issues, unfair pay and racist storylines on season five.

Brian Lilley: CBC has lost its lawsuit against the Conservative Party over the use of CBC material in ads during the 2019 federal election. Any reading of the law and jurisprudence would have told CBC this, their own lawyers warned them, but they persisted.

CBC quietly deletes interview…
Guest host Talia Schlanger read an excerpt from Philippe’s book in the interview, that reads: “When this race war hits its crescendo, I’ll gather you all into a beautifully decorated room under the pretense of unity. I’ll give a speech to civility and all the good times we share; I’ll smile as we raise glasses to your good, white health, while the detonator blinks under the table, knowing the exits are locked and the air vents filled with gas.”
Schlanger then tells Philippe that she is Jewish, and apologized to Philippe that his experience made him feel that way.[…]
Philippe also told the interviewer that his race war fantasies were originally much longer, saying, “fun fact: that section used to be so much longer, so thank you to my editor for, like, condensing it.”

Red Pill
Sadly, people in their 40s pass with C-19. But just 68 of 50,785 cases in Ontario were fatal. (1 in 750 cases, 0.13% CFR, 3.6 per 100k pop).
STOP this fearmongering, this GARBAGE journalism and this rogue public health messaging at once! Shame, @drmwarner and @natashafatah! https://t.co/XYQRvWZCF8 pic.twitter.com/xjaml02Olc

One of these things is not like the other.
