No, No it Wouldn’t

National Post- Defunding CBC would be ‘devastating’ to news in rural Canada: Catherine Tait

Thomas asked her if the CBC would continue to provide Canadians with news if it was “given the opportunity to be truly independent, and set free from the shackles of government money”, as the Conservative party has been promising to do if they form government.

Tait said it would be “extremely difficult” to provide news to many of the underserved communities across Canada, such as rural and northern communities as well as francophones living in minority communities, which do not benefit from commercial private news.

Things You’ll Never See On The CBC

What do you do if you’re a news reporter and the biggest story of the day, if not the election, falls right into your lap?

Well, if you work for CBC Winnipeg, the answer appears to be ‘news be damned’ if it doesn’t fit the narrative being promoted at the moment.

The Black Rod happened to be on the scene when a deranged man smashed out the windows of a clearly marked CBC vehicle on Main Street in broad daylight Monday afternoon.

The female reporter cowered in the front seat, weeping while speaking to someone on her cell phone. The male camera man huddled in fear in the back seat as he, also, talked on his phone. Neither of the news crew was using their phone to capture video of the attack.

The car was parked outside of Our Place/Chez Nous at 676 Main St. just south of Higgins. The CBC team had obviously just interviewed some of the directors of the drop-in centre that’s closing after 30 years on the Strip amidst, as their CBC report later that evening put it, “growing safety concerns for those who staff it.”

CBC Vancouver staffer arrested and charged in alleged child sex assault

According to the BC Prosecution Service, Vincent Papequash faces one count of sexual interference and one count of sexual assault for allegedly touching a person under the age of 16 for a sexual purpose.

Vancouver police say officers arrested Papequash on Saturday, the same day the offences allegedly took place.

A BCPS spokesperson said he has since been released with conditions

CTV News has learned Papequash was a stranger to the alleged victim, who is a very young child.

There is a court-ordered publication ban on some details of the alleged assault.

Beginning in October of last year and up until his arrest, Papequash worked as an associate producer in the CBC Vancouver newsroom.

He has since deleted his social media accounts and a biography page about him has been removed from the CBC Vancouver website.

@AndrewScheer

Bombshell report of Beijing’s interference in our democracy, intimidating an MPs family over a vote in the House of Commons.

CBC: why you need sex ed before you go to space.

Not one article on their news home page about Trudeau’s inaction.

Related: Almost three-quarters of the public blame the news media for political polarization and most have very little faith in the press’ ability to “fairly and accurately” report the news. I know you’re all shocked.

Our Chinese-Installed Government In Ottawa

“The Trudeau Foundation built such a latticework of high-level contacts that seemingly half of Ottawa is either an official member, has been on the payroll, has acted as one of its official “mentors” or has benefited from its largesse”

Laura LoveIs it just me or does Journalist @ChantalHbert having any or an opinion on the Trudeau Foundation scandal at odds with the fact that she was named an “official” mentor of the same foundation in 2011!?
