Blacklock’s- CBCer Defends France Junket

Catherine Tait, $497,000-a year CEO of the CBC, yesterday confirmed she billed taxpayers $1,000 a night to enjoy a five star hotel in Paris in July. Tait said taxpayers would have been concerned if she didn’t attend the Paris Olympics.

“Well I was on holiday,” replied Tait. “That is why I did not ask CBC to pay for my airfare. Nevertheless when I want to the Games I was working on behalf of CBC.”

If you read very carefully and almost to the bottom of a very long article.

CBC- Conservatives are targeting Singh over his pension — but Poilievre’s is three times larger

The difference between getting a pension and not getting one is also significant, said Newell. If Singh doesn’t hit six years of service early next year, he’s only entitled to a refund of his pension contributions with interest. 

Francisco- I believe they call this “burying the lede”.

Yesterday evening, Thursday August 29, saw the end of sentencing hearings for Tony Olienick and Chris Carbert at Court of King’s Bench in Lethbridge, Alberta. Those hearings lasted four days, with both the Crown and Defense presenting various arguments for what they believed would be appropriate sentences regards the minor charges both men were found ‘guilty’ of in relation to the major charge of ‘conspiring to murder police officers’, for which they were found NOT GUILTY.

Final sentencing has been adjourned until September 9th, as briefs were submitted by the defense late on Wednesday evening, to my mind possibly related to the very concerning rhetoric of Justice Labrenz which was heard on Tuesday.

The Canadian Press take the jobs their employees can’t do.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corp. paid out $18.4 million in bonuses this year after hundreds of jobs at the public broadcaster were eliminated.

Documents obtained through access to information laws show CBC/Radio-Canada paid bonuses to 1,194 employees for the 2023-24 fiscal year.

More than $3.3 million of that sum was paid to 45 executives.

That means those executives got an average bonus of over $73,000, which is more than the median family income after taxes in 2022, according to Statistics Canada.

Blacklocks- Caution CBCers Over Tweets

“This is a healthy reminder for those journalists who feel compelled to weigh in on controversial news stories,” wrote Ombudsman Jack Nagler. “While you don’t carry the burden of balance on your social feeds the way CBC does as a whole you are still expected to provide context where necessary.”

The guidance followed a social media post last November 6 by Samira Mohyeddin, a Toronto producer for the CBC Radio program The Current. Mohyeddin tweeted in sympathy for a Palestinian activist arrested for inciting terrorism.

The post omitted the fact the woman, Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi, was arrested for threatening to kill Jews and drink their blood.
