Did you see this bizarre "news story" the CBC just ran?
A Nigerian born professor called the CBC to complain about an exchange he had with a Conservative candidate about Bill C-24.
As you may know, under that new law, a dual Canadian citizen convicted of terrorism would be stripped of their Canadian citizenship.
(The bill was proposed by an MP who also happens to be new Canadian, by the way...)
However, the professor seemed to think it meant that his Canadian-born daughters would be deported to Nigeria if he became a criminal.
Or something.
They wouldn't run any of the federal election debates -- but the CBC felt THIS weird hypothetical "thought experiment" was newsworthy?
The CBC: Irrelevant, arrogant, biased. Time to pull the plug!

Why would anyone want Justin’s hair … wait a minute… are you balding?
See ya.
You can imagine, its in spades, against any Conservative. Its a brain washing site to excite anger. So to clear up some of the false information, I have tried to counter and present the facts, backing up any comment with facts
and where those facts are avail. for back checking. You guessed it I am tagged and the moderators won’t
Let me post. They only allow my comment if it is extremely vague. Essentially, CBC saturates the airwaves and
Written material with negative Conserv material, while there may be some truth, a lot is outright lies and deception, And some a small area of truth but added fiction in order to mislead. They censor any information to set the record straight, they are not interested in the truth. I dont know how they can stop freedom of speech
When we are all paying taxes for this bogus institution. If Trudeau gets in he will even ramp up
his sounding board even more.
Them’s swear words to the socialists! ;o)

Film company takes on TVO, Toronto Star over Kathleen Wynne documentary
Toronto Star defends decision to view Wynne documentary

The company that was commissioned to make a documentary about Premier Kathleen Wynne has entered into a war of words with The Toronto Star and TVO.
Last month, TVO said it was backing out of the project because of concerns about its “editorial integrity.”
The documentary, Premier: The Unscripted Kathleen Wynne, had been commissioned from White Pine Pictures, and TVO says it insisted “there be a journalistic treatment” of the film, including hiring a journalist as the director.
But after director Roxana Spicer walked away from the project, TVO terminated its agreement and announced it is looking for White Pine Pictures to refund the $114,075 advance.
On Thursday, White Pine Pictures president Peter Raymont said he was frustrated that the Toronto Star “published clips from an unauthorized, copyrighted version of the documentary.”
Raymont was referring to an article that Robert Benzie, the paper’s Queen’s Park bureau chief, wrote Thursday. Benzie, who was among the journalists interviewed for Premier: The Unscripted Kathleen Wynne, has seen the documentary.
In his story, Benzie wrote the film may never be broadcast because the premier and her officials won’t sign release forms.
Raymont says Wynne’s office is not blocking the airing of the documentary, “and has arranged for all remaining releases to be signed to facilitate a prompt broadcast.”
Premier says she hasn’t seen film
At a press conference Thursday, Wynne said she wanted the documentary to be released, adding that “had I not been interested in transparency… then I wouldn’t have gone into the project in the first place.”
She told reporters she has not seen the film.
Raymont, who says “the editorial claims made by Star reporter Robert Benzie are inaccurate,” also accused the paper of “theft and re-use of stolen property.”
“As a news organization that has long defended itself against similar theft of its creative product I am disappointed that the Star has behaved so cavalierly toward another professional with a demonstrated commitment to serious journalism,” Raymont said in a statement.
Michael Cooke, an editor at The Star, dismissed Raymont’s accusation.
“Given the public dollars spent on that film, given the public interest in the story, and given the deliberate edited brevity of the two clips we used, our legal advice sought beforehand was that we were well within the boundary of copyright violation,” Cooke wrote in an email to CBC News.
Raymont also accused TVO of abandoning the production while editing was still in progress.
“We dispute TVO’s assertions that White Pine Pictures was deficient in fulfilling the delivery requirements of the film, which was in post-production. TVO has twice issued statements that impugn my professional reputation and integrity,” he said. “It is not uncommon for creative differences to arise during the production and editing of a documentary, particularly one with political themes.”
TVO says the lack of a director is a “fundamental deficiency” for a documentary, and a film “consistent with TVO’s journalistic standards for editorial integrity, independence and quality” was not delivered.
“In my experience, such difficulties have always been resolved,” Raymont said.

I wager that within one year of the funding being cut off we would see the CBC struggling to meet their financial obligations including their payroll. Within the second year they’d be filing bankruptcy papers. However, I also would expect that Lacroix and the other elitists in the top management tier would make the lion’s share of existing funds disappear prior to the writ of bankruptcy being filed (perhaps safely tucked away in off shore accounts, Elitist motto: one must feather their nest first and above the rest).

COMPREHENSION
The Consortium has been a corrupt kangaroo court attempting to vilify the Conservatives Party of Canada and the Reform Party before it. Do you not remember the hate mongering by the CBC and the Liberals about how the evil Stephen Harper had a hidden agenda and there would “soldiers on the streets … with guns!” Two full majority terms and still no soldiers on the streets with guns … and no hidden agenda! Don’t bother trying to explain, we don’t want you to melt your “brain.”

Now I don’t know about you folks but that is not behaviour I would expect from anyone in my living room in front of my young son. Maybe I was a bit of a prude, but really, if I invite you into my home I expect a little more decorum.
So I wrote a letter to the head of CBC. I believe it was Pierre Juno then. My letter said basically what I have presented here and that surely they could have chosen a more reasonable time to air such a thing. In due course, I got a letter back – accusing me of bigotry.
I didn’t have a choice then about watching CBC. It was that or nothing and while my kids were growing up – well – Hockey Night in Canada.
Fast Forward!
But in 2000 I was asked by the local CBC to provide commentary on the municipal election that was taking place. I had been a member of Whitehorse City Council for two terms but decided not to run in that election. Well why not? New experience for me. They were set up in council Chambers and when I arrived they had me sign some papers and I settled in. Polls closed at 8 pm and by 11 pm the results, while not all in, were a given and it was time to pack up. I swear I thought I was donating my time that night. I was in Council Chambers for all of 4 hours. Shortly after that a cheque arrived in the mail. It paid my rent for the following month. Four hours sitting on my kiester talking about why one candidate did better than another and what the various issues meant to the results – stuff I’d lived and breathed for the 6 previous years – netted me $175 or so per hour. Minus the only 7 bucks or so I’ve ever had to pay to a Union. I have never watched or listened to CBC since. And now I’m going to sign the petition.
In other words, “We do not broadcast content we cannot edit and control to say what we want.”
Hello Kim,
Thank you for emailing CBC and for your feedback about the Munk debate.
Unfortunately we do not broadcast content, like a debate, over which we have no editorial input. We do however cover the news about such debates.
Hopefully this is helpful and thanks again for taking the time to get in touch.

How disgraceful.
It’s great that the Rebel actually posts comments which reflect the views of real Canadians. CBC will not publish even polite pussyfooting comments which go against the CBC’s agenda. I am beginning to believe that the CBC must be getting paid under the table by subversives.
