In response to a viewer’s complaint that a CBC radio program had discriminated against people of British descent, a CBC director has said that racism against white people “doesn’t exist.”
The complaint focused on a June 30, 2021 airing of CBC Vancouver’s radio show The Early Edition, where a guest had complained that schools were named after “Lord so-and-so or Queen this or Sir whatever.”
Almost one month removed from the most disturbingly authoritarian moment in Canadian history, the Trudeau-Singh Emergencies Act, and there was only one asset that the Canadian government could not get its hands on – Bitcoin.
The government cited government-controlled CBC reports as part of their justification for imposing the act.
The CBC has publicly retracted a news story about the trucker Freedom Convoy that erroneously claimed that support for the protests had largely come from foreigners.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine does not change the fact of climate change – a reality brought home again by another stark report from the UN’s climate change panel two weeks ago.
But the ramifications of this war are being used to raise new questions about Canadian climate and energy policy.
With gas prices surging a week after Vladimir Putin’s forces invaded Ukraine, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown wrote to Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland to suggest that she delay the annual increase in the federal carbon tax, slated to take effect on April 1. “Now is the wrong time for any new burden,” he said.
While speaking, Rodriguez also promised that there was more the Liberal government could do to “support” the legacy news.
“I think there are even more things we should be able to do. We’re looking into that in the context of supporting the whole ecosystem,” said Rodriguez.
We want to acknowledge this account was compromised earlier today, and an inappropriate tweet was posted. It has now been deleted and we are reviewing the situation.

Out of 200 of the top American donors to the convoy protest that paralyzed downtown Ottawa and blocked parts of the Canada-U.S. border, half have names matching those of donors to Republican candidates, the Republican Party or former U.S. President Donald Trump, according to analysis by CBC News.
A search of the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC) campaign finance database for 200 of the top American donations to GiveSendGo’s convoy crowdfunding campaign shows that 50 per cent of those donors have names and zip codes matching those of people who have donated in the past to the Republican Party, one of its political action committees or Republican candidates.
The New York Times reported last weekend that police in Ottawa had arrested protesters at gunpoint, a claim that was quickly challenged and denounced by prominent Canadian journalists.
“This is wrong,” tweeted freelance reporter Justin Ling, who had been covering the police action from Ottawa. CBC News TV host Ginella Massa called the Times headline “false and incredibly dangerous rhetoric” and CBC radio host Piya Chattopadhyay asked “where are you getting this bs from?”.
American politicians are demanding details from Facebook about how many fake online accounts created by foreign actors helped promote Canada’s convoy protests.
The chair of the most powerful investigative body in the U.S. House of Representatives this week sent a letter to company founder Mark Zuckerberg seeking information about inauthentic activity.
The incredible powers that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has given his government to freeze people’s bank accounts is based on their reliance on “analysis” from the CBC.
This is according to a 14-page document the government tabled in the House of Commons Wednesday night detailing the supposed rationale for invoking the Emergencies Act in the first place.

Several days effort

Breitbart News confirmed on Monday that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Canada’s federally-funded left-wing news media giant, is contacting Canadians whose personal details were leaked following a reported hack of GiveSendGo donor information related to a fundraiser for the Freedom Convoy.
Thousands of people have taken to the streets in the nation’s capital and other cities across Canada over the last three weeks to protest vaccine mandates, pandemic restrictions and lockdowns.
While many protesters have been carrying the Canadian flag, some have been waving flags that are less recognizable.
But for experts who study extremism in Canada, the symbols on some of these flags are familiar.
Totalitarian ideas are now out in the open
Quick: what do you think when someone tries to convince you of something by prefacing their remarks with the phase “Experts say”?
I think of that rude, two-word imperative of Germanic origin that ends in “You.”
As Laplace said in another context, it is par expériences nombreuses et funestes that I have this almost Pavlovian reaction.
The “experts,” alas, are not expert, i.e, “possessing a high degree of skill in or knowledge of” a certain subject.
One of the self-appointed “experts” cited by the CBC operates out of the Kommunity Kollege Of KKK Knowledge and claims 300 active “white supremacist” groups in Canada – but can’t name them.
I guess we should have expected this to happen. COVID is over. The pandemic is over. The arsenal to combat it or deal with its symptoms is substantial. It’s endemic. Natural immunity is a real thing. It has a 99-plus percent survival rate. It’s time to end ALL the mandates. No more masks. No insane and creepy obsession with penetrating the masses with the COVID vaccine. Enough. The truckers in Canada get it. They were cleared off the Ambassador Bridge during the Super Bowl yesterday, but they’re still honking in Ottawa.
