Things You See On CBC
Shocking News
Justin’s CBC may not be a good source for information. Paywall but you get the drift.
It’s Not Fair
Blacklock’s- Media Unfair, Say CBC Execs
“Very disappointing and frustrating,” wrote Chuck Thompson, CBC chief of staff to the executive vice president. Thompson in an August 12 email complained media “gave us no time” to justify yearly bonuses worth $14.9 million.

Dispatches from the Maple Gulag Truck Stop
Truck driver and trucker advocate Gord Magill delves into the problems with the North American trucking industry and carnage that has resulted from decades of poor decisions.
The Motor Carrier Act of 1980, passed by President Jimmy Carter, introduced sweeping reforms to how trucking was regulated, who could become a motor carrier (literally anyone), and removed government control and oversight of rates that carriers could charge their customers. This piece of legislation has been blamed by many for all of the woes in trucking for decades now, and one of the most infamous scholarly works on this change, that ought to be read by everyone, is called Sweatshops on Wheels : Winners and Losers in Trucking Deregulation. I interviewed the author, Dr Michael Belzer, an economics professor at Wayne State University in Michigan and former trucker, for my podcast, which you can listen to here.
In what should have been a surprise to no one that understands economics, the opening of the market to anyone with a pulse lead to an immediate environment of cut-throat competition which exists to this day, and is one of the reasons why truck drivers in 2024 are earning, on average, in inflation adjusted dollars, 50% of what they earned in 1980.
Justin’s CBC Needs Money
The CBC said it could use another half billion dollars a year. Paywall but you get the drift (Or is it grift)

If you want an example of the CBC’s bias, and why the organization needs to be defunded, take a look at its coverage of the Montreal riots tonight.
Unlike CTV and the Montreal Gazette, CBC conspicuously omitted any mention of the fact that the rioters were pro-Palestinian activists. I guess they wanted to spare the Palestinian cause any bad press.

Three things come to mind while watching this:
- This is being aired on Canadian public television, paid for by ALL taxpayers.
- This is why Canadians are so dumb, especially when it comes to the American political system.
- Justin Trudeau is responsible for this garbage being aired. Can @thevivafrei bring this to the attention of Trump et al?!

It Was a Working Holiday
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.”
