Liberals test public support for CBC funding cuts as internal polling backs spending restraint

Liberals test public support for CBC funding cuts as internal polling backs spending restraint

Federal officials quietly tested public appetite for cutting funding to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and other Crown corporations, with internal focus group research showing Canadians are open to reductions as Ottawa looks for ways to rein in spending.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the research, commissioned by the Privy Council Office and conducted by The Strategic Counsel under a $1.6 million contract, found participants frequently pointed to Crown corporations like the CBC and Canada Post as areas where the federal government could scale back expenditures.


Bet the polling will mysteriously experience a sea-change.

QUESNEL: Two tiers, one country — Canada’s ‘two-tier media system’ is undermining trust in journalism

QUESNEL: Two tiers, one country — Canada’s ‘two-tier media system’ is undermining trust in journalism

During recent Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage hearings about the state of media in Canada, witnesses and outlets pointed to two urgent realities reshaping the sector: government-funded journalists embedded in conventional newsrooms and the rapid rise of independent outlets. Sheila Gunn-Reid’s testimony for Rebel News crystallized the debate when she warned these developments have produced a “two‑tiered media system,” a split between outlets that rely on public handouts and those that do not.

CBC refuses to release alleged blacklist as former host tells MPs about banned interview guests

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is refusing to release an internal document that allegedly outlines which public figures its journalists are discouraged from interviewing, even after a former host told MPs the network maintained a blacklist of dozens of names.

During testimony before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage, former CBC-TV host Travis Dhanraj said newsroom staff relied on an internal guide titled Parameters For Political Guests that restricted who could appear on certain programs.

Terry Newman: Finally, proof of what we’ve known all along — CBC is biased against conservatives

Appearing before the House of Commons standing committee on Canadian heritage on Tuesday, former CBC host Travis Dhanraj painted a stark picture of how the public broadcaster allegedly abuses its employees, discriminates based on race and systematically attempts to silence conservative voices.

Former CBC journalist Travis Dhanraj says CBC stuck in ‘endless merry-go-round of gaslighting Canadians’

TORONTO — Former CBC host Travis Dhanraj told a parliamentary committee Tuesday that editorial interference, internal culture problems and political bias at CBC News have eroded public trust in the publicly funded broadcaster.

Early in his testimony, Dhanraj described an incident during editorial discussions about Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich. He told MPs that after he noted Lich had multiple last names, David Cochrane, host of Power & Politics, allegedly responded that “people who live in trailers usually do.”

Carney’s choice: Ice out illegal migrants, or treat them like the assets they are

It’s not just on the streets of Minneapolis: If you live in a Canadian city, you are surrounded by undocumented migrants trying to avoid the authorities. They are hidden in plain sight: at work on virtually any construction site or renovation job in Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal; in hospitals and elder-care facilities; in restaurant kitchens; and quite possibly in your house, cleaning and taking care of your kids.


The Globe and Mail whoring for the LPC and its Corporate pals.

Mass immigration aka Human Trafficking is good for them. They don’t give a damn about the damage its caused you and your family.

If we ever get a Trump the first thing to do is end media subsidies.

LILLEY: CBC gets more money from Liberals to push Liberal views

CBC is expanding once again, but that’s not shocking given the amount of government money, or government-directed money that they get.

While every other media outlet struggles and tries to find ways to keep the lights on, CBC is handed money by a government that sees them as vital to the national – read party – interests.

Report by LPC linked Eurasia Group gins up the fear Canada could be hit hardest by U.S. political upheaval

Canada could be hit hardest by U.S. political upheaval, report warns

A new global risk assessment is warning that no country would be more “profoundly affected” by a political upheaval in the U.S. than Canada.

Published Monday, the Eurasia Group’s “Top Risks For 2026″ report cites deep economic, security and geographic ties that leave Canada especially exposed to instability south of the border.

Eurasia Group, a political risk consultancy, identifies what it calls a potential U.S. “political revolution” – driven by U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to consolidate power, “capture the machinery of government, and weaponize it against his enemies” – as the most significant threats to global stability this year.


Carney’s wife worked at Eurasia as does Butts.  I’m sure they are well hedged against any anticipated market downturn this report may cause.

CBC Exposes The Same Dozen Neo-Nazis Over and Over Again

‘The Nazis were right’: What the leaders of Canada’s biggest ‘nationalist’ group really want

The leaders of the country’s biggest white nationalist group believe that “the Nazis were right,” that a violent “race war” for Canada’s future is underway and that non-white people should be deported en masse “at gunpoint,” according to an analysis by the CBC’s visual investigations unit.

Second Sons Canada calls itself a “men’s nationalist club” dedicated to “health and fitness, camaraderie, activism and friendly support for those who share our values.” Official posts on Instagram, Facebook, Telegram and X show men gathering to train or to demonstrate, promoting the slogan “remigration now” and celebrating veterans and Canadian history.


It’s not about a dozen Neo-Nazis. CBC Palestine appears to be trying to stigmatize “Remigration”. Screw them we own it.
