Access to Information records shows the CBC now has 144 corporate directors getting paid six-figure salaries, averaging $135,388 excluding bonuses and expenses, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

Alberta a racist hell hole says CBC
Alberta is calling and professional racialized women are answering — some, to a rude awakening
Lungile Tinarwo had high hopes of establishing her own law firm and prospering when she first moved to Edmonton.
“Everybody talks about… there’s an abundance of work, there’s this, there’s that. But I’ve never felt more alone and marginalized than since starting my practice here,” Tinarwo said.
Ten years after leaving Toronto, and as the province continues to target skilled workers in Ontario and the Maritimes with its Alberta is Calling campaigns, she’s having regrets.
CBC head Catherine Tait’s comments in Globe interview ‘blindsided’ staff
After the head of Canada’s public broadcaster gave a newspaper interview earlier this year that promised CBC would eventually become a digital-only product and that criticized Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, senior managers were quick to refute her comments, internal emails suggest.
The Globe and Mail reported in February based on an interview with Catherine Tait that she was preparing to end traditional TV and radio broadcasts and move completely to a digital platform, but that this likely wouldn’t happen in the next decade.
Bottom line, CBC staff are worried about job loss under the proposed digital platform.
Everything else is just smoke to hide the CBC’s hard left cultural bias in the hope of currying public sympathy.
The CBC’s commercial operations are undermining the news industry
Regardless of where the dust settles on Canada’s tumultuous battle with Big Tech, the nation’s news industry won’t find stability until its playing field is levelled.
That means ending the CBC’s ability to sell advertising in all of its forms and turning it into a pure play public broadcaster and online news organization.
William Watson: With Eleanor Wachtel retiring from ‘Writers & Company,’ it’s safe to shut down CBC
When the Reform party shook up Canadian politics in the 1990s, one of its proposals was to privatize CBC Television. In the three- or four-channel TV universe of the ’50s, it may have made sense to have a tax-funded corporation providing a full range of programming, from news to sports to comedy to variety. But even in the early ’90s, as today’s infinite-channel universe was beginning to take shape, there was no shortage of viewing options for Canadians and more than enough niches for original Canadian programming to fill without taxpayer assistance.
Media literacy advocate featured in CBC article pushes child sexual mutilation
Foreign interference means Canada should get serious on media literacy, advocate says
And who is that advocate? MediaSmarts, a child sexual mutilation proponent.
CBC is a morally diseased culture. Children should be shielded from it’s propaganda.
CBC Beseeches Satan To Intervene On Behalf Of Groomers: “Christian conservative groups recruiting thousands to back Higgs”
Christian conservative groups recruiting thousands to back Higgs
Christian conservative groups rallying support for New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs now have enough signatures to be a decisive factor in any leadership review vote.
Two groups rallying support for the embattled Progressive Conservative leader have flexed their muscles in the last month, gathering enough names to swing the vote in his favour.
“A lot of times it’s hundreds or even dozens of people that can make a difference in some of these elections,” said Faytene Grasseschi, who runs the group 4 My Canada from Quispamsis, outside Saint John.
CBC paints ‘Sound of Freedom’ as “a dog-whistle for Xenophobic, Pro-Life types”
In a recent interview on CBC Radio, pop culture columnist Radheyan Simonpillai described the success of the new hit film “Sound of Freedom” can be attributed to “Xenophobic, Pro-Trump, Pro-Life types.”
The film, which has sold-out shows across the United States and Canada, is about former Homeland Security agent Tim Ballard who founded Operation Underground Railroad in order to take down child trafficking rings in South America.
Colby Cosh: CBC’s damning retraction of an unsubstantiated non-scandal in Alberta
CBC News cried “uncle” yesterday in its long-running quarrel with Alberta premier Danielle Smith, as you may have read in your National Post . In January, a story from the network claimed that some member of the new premier’s staff had sent emails directly to Crown prosecutors ordering them to let up on COVID rulebreakers. This created a nasty suspicion that the premier’s office was interfering directly in individual criminal prosecutions, and it rightly led to an investigation by the province’s ethics commissioner, Marguerite Trussler. In the meantime, the CBC stood stubbornly behind its story.
CBC News retracts report alleging email interference by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s office
CBC News is retracting a report alleging someone in Premier Danielle Smith’s office emailed Crown prosecutors to question and challenge the handling of cases involving COVID-19 protests in Alberta that blocked traffic at a U.S. border crossing for more than two weeks.
CBC made the announcement Wednesday in an unsigned editor’s note atop an amended online version of the original Jan. 19 story.
“Our sources have insisted that Crown prosecutors felt political pressure regarding the Coutts (Alta.) cases, but they are not able to confirm that the emails they originally described were sent directly from the premier’s office to the Crown,” said the editor’s note.
CBC must face WE Charity defamation lawsuit in a U.S. court, judge rules
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) must face a defamation lawsuit by a U.S. charity alleging the publicly funded news outlet repeatedly aired false claims that it deceived its donors, a Washington, D.C., federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss on Tuesday rejected the CBC’s bid to dismiss the case on the grounds that a Canadian court would be the more appropriate venue.
WE Charity, which once operated in Canada but is suing through its U.S. affiliate based in upstate New York, alleged in its February 2022 complaint that the CBC knowingly aired false claims that the nonprofit inflated the number of schoolhouses it had built in Kenya and deceived donors about how their money was being spent, among other things

Internal document reveals ambitions of anti-LGBTQ group that is part of populist movement
On a recent Sunday morning in Waterloo, Ont., pastor Jacob Reaume gripped a lectern and issued a warning to his congregation.
“A Christless existence leads to the dark, hopeless abyss of death,” he told around 200 people at Trinity Bible Chapel, an evangelical church on the outskirts of the city.
Much of the sermon, delivered last December, was devoted to a trans student at a Christian university in nearby Hamilton who had died by suicide a few weeks earlier.
“If you’re going to live a lie to the point where you’re willing to mutilate your own body, it’s going to send you into dark despair,” Reaume said.
Of course the nations public broadcaster is firmly on the side of child sexual mutilation fetishists.
The CBC should have a special trial at Nuremburg 2.0.
Network Ratings are a Dumpster Fire but CBC’s president and CEO, Catherine Tait, gets 18-month contract extension
OTTAWA – The head of Canada’s public broadcaster will remain in her role for another 18 months, after her contract was extended by the federal heritage minister.

Trudeau government looking for ways to shovel more money to CBC
Minister reviewing CBC’s mandate with eye to making it less reliant on advertising
OTTAWA – Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez is hinting that the Liberal government’s online news bill could help the national public broadcaster become less reliant on advertising dollars.
Rodriguez says he has begun reviewing CBC/Radio-Canada’s mandate, including ways the government can provide more funds to the public broadcaster.
Rodriguez’s mandate letter from the prime minister says the goal in providing more money is to eliminate advertising during news and other public affairs shows.
Lord knows CBC doesn’t get enough money now.
CBC English TV has lost its relevance. It’s time to talk about that
For many progressives, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is an article of faith, a touchstone of modern Canada. For many conservatives, the CBC is an object of scorn, an elitist bastion that should be defunded.
And so an ideologically driven debate about the future of the public broadcaster spins around and around, immobilized between piety and outrage. In the meantime, the CBC itself is engaged in mission creep, with a dramatic increase in government funding under the Trudeau Liberals allowing it to increasingly crowd out private competitors
