‘A question of life and death’: Why climate action must also take racial justice into account

Without diversity among its leadership, environmentalist groups risk being unable to speak to — and potentially recruit — members from a wider range of backgrounds and perspectives, according to Ryerson University sociology professor Cheryl Teelucksingh.

“A lot of the environmental movement historically has come out of a [focus on] wilderness protection, conservation sort of orientation, and that has not included the livelihood concerns that Black and racialized populations really emphasize,” she said.

The CBC is Pushing Third Wave Fears to Justify Ongoing Restrictions

In a recent article from the CBC written by Adam Miller, it seems that Canada’s publicly funded media is slowly starting to push the idea that Canadians must stay in some form of a lockdown or the third wave of COVID-19, and new coronavirus variants will sweep through the country.

Neither CRTC Nor CBC Following The Law By Allowing Dismantling Radio Canada International

If neither the government nor the CRTC is willing to enforce the laws that govern the CBC, it will continue to self-define as a publicly funded commercial broadcaster with increasing disinterest in adherence to its public-service mandate.

Violent arrest of skateboarder aided by CBC employee

A video has recently gone viral of police in Barrie, Ontario performing a very physical arrest on a young man who was skateboarding. Allegedly, the 20-year-old man had ran a red light. The officers involved shoved the man’s face into the cold, snowy pavement and also at another point hit him with a Taser, threatening to “light [the skateboarder] up.”

In a strange twist, a third man came over to assist the officers in their efforts to restrain the man — while wearing a CBC jacket. It was later revealed that the CBC employee was also a volunteer auxiliary Ontario Provincial Police officer.

EXCLUSIVE: CBC demands Ezra Levant change story on $34 million COVID bailout

Exclusive internal CBC communications obtained by Rebel News show the internal reaction after several online media outlets — none of which receive bailout money from Justin Trudeau — published a series of articles on a Liberal tabling of spending which included nearly $34 million in extra funding for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Jonathan Kay: The CBC’s toxic workplace exposed after arbitrator sides with fired reporter

“…Between the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons alone, CBC television lost 25 per cent of its viewers. Its English-language audience share is now less than four per cent— a predictable consequence of policies that prioritize quotas and activist mono-think over editorial quality. At Thursday’s CRTC hearings into the renewal of CBC’s broadcasting licences (the transcript of which is available online), virtually every question and talking point went, in some way, to identity politics. On one of the few occasions when CBC CEO Catherine Tait mentioned actual programming, it was to boast about Canada Tonight with Ginella Massa, a newly announced show that looks exactly like every other similarly conceived CBC news show, except that — plot twist! — the host has a hijab. This is what now passes for fresh new thinking at the CBC: the same bad food served by a waiter of a different hue.”

Few care about the woke CBC. I have long said the CBC is its own culture unrelated and even hostile to Canada. Busy spending your tax dollars producing “content” solely for the CBC’s own consumption. Harper should have defunded the cesspool when he had the chance.

The CBC Claims it has No Bias Despite Race-Based Management Practices

For Canadians who are not of a left-wing progressive political perspective, much of the CBC’s reporting on their progress on supposed “diversity” may come across as quite concerning.

It shouldn’t come as news that the CBC’s working definition of “diversity” is purely based on race/ethnicity. The CRTC licensing commission was specifically focusing on progress on “the CBC’s pledge to hire more staff and managers from underrepresented groups.”

The CBC admits to having made significant changes to their policies relating to diversity and inclusion as a response to 500 current and former employees complaining about the alleged “systemic racism” around the time of the BLM protests and riots during the summer of 2020, which the CBC only refers to as “protests”.

CBC viewership hits record lows as subsidies hit record highs

The CBC has turned the record sum of cash they received from the Liberal government into its worst ratings in history, new figures reveal.

Despite getting $1.5-billion of taxpayers’ money, data from the CRTC show the CBC has dropped to less than 3.9 per cent of viewership across Canada in 2018-2019 – a whopping drop of 25 per cent in just one year.

Catherine Tait, president of the CBC, lives in Brooklyn, N.Y., report says

The president of the CBC lives in Brooklyn, New York, according to a report by Canadaland, the online news site.

The report says Catherine Tait lives with her husband in a $5.4 million home in Brooklyn. Canadaland reports that Tait has been travelling between New York and her home in Ottawa over the course of the coronavirus crisis.

Why am I not surprised? Because being lied to and shit on by the Trudeau government is the “new normal.”

The CBC is it’s own incestuous culture using tax payer money to smugly promote government globalist propaganda.

Few among those who pay the freight watch its programming.

There are myriad ways the money spent on this white elephant could be put to better use.

I will vote PPC as I do not trust O’Toole to shut CBC down.

That Billion Dollar A Year White Elephant Nobody Watches Is Apparently In The Midst Of A Civil War

It’s not a civil war that threatens the CBC. It’s complacency

…More than 500 current and former CBC staffers, including on-air journalists Carol Off and Gillian Findlay, have signed an open letter calling on Canadians to stand with them as they put pressure on management to abandon an “insidious” initiative that “makes a mockery” of the broadcaster’s hard-won reputation for journalistic integrity. They argue that Canadians could confuse the paid content on CBC websites and podcasts with its journalistic offerings.

They’re kidding right? CBC? Tax Payer Subsidized Trump Derangement Syndrome CBC?

I won’t be happy until the streets run red with CBC blood;)

GUNTER: The case for winding down the CBC

CBC-TV a $1.3-billion-a year ‘make-work project’ that taxpayers ‘don’t take to,’ senator says

CBC-TV has become a $1.3-billion-a year “make-work project,” producing programming Canadian taxpayers are not watching and don’t want, according to a senator.

The remarks from Senator Leo Housakos were made to the Senate chamber Wednesday after reports emerged the national broadcaster was facing program cuts due to a plunge in TV ad revenues. A second quarter financial report showed ad revenues dropped 19% in six months, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

CBC-TV ad revenues continue historic collapse, falling 19% in 6 months

CBC’s television ad sales have taken a freefall collapse, resulting in proposed programming cuts despite record subsidies, its CEO says.

Television ad revenues for the six-month period to Sept. 30 fell from $91 million to $73.8 million — a 19% drop — compared to the same period last year, Blacklock’s Reportersays. The CBC blamed losses on “the pandemic’s adverse impacts on Canadian TV advertising spending.”
