Here’s why Pierre Poilievre is so afraid of the CBC

 

No wonder Pierre Poilievre wants to defund the CBC. The public broadcaster has barely shown him any deference.

Let’s start by noting that, contrary to the Conservative Leader’s claim, the CBC is not “the propaganda arm” of the Liberal government.” Overall, its reporting appears balanced. Now that doesn’t mean that the CBC treats climate denial as a legitimate point of view — rather than what it is: the rejection of well-established science.

The Star defending the CBC. Colour me shocked.

Germany: Manhunt after explosives left at Berlin station

A police search is underway on Thursday in the German capital, Berlin, after a man left a bag of explosives at a Berlin train station on Wednesday evening.

A police officer told the daily Berliner Zeitung that “it seems as if an attack has been prevented,” as an explosion caused by the contents of the bag would have had “dramatic consequences” if it occurred near a group of people.

The man ran away after he was subjected to a check by police officers.

Nine heists. Thousands of dollars in stolen product. The slippery mystery of Ontario’s butter bandits

The heist did not happen in the dead of night, but in the fluorescent glow of supermarket lights.

The two men entered the FreshCo separately, each wearing baseball caps, one with a dark winter coat. They met inside, grabbed a cart and rolled it to the dairy section. It was butter they were after — three cases of it, worth $936. Satisfied, the men left through a receiving door in the FreshCo’s shipping area and fled into the Guelph night.

Is this some weird sex thing?

Paul Pelosi attacker gets life in prison without parole

The man who broke into the home of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and attacked her husband with a hammer has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on state charges in California.

David DePape was also convicted on federal charges in May leading to a 30-year prison sentence which will now be served concurrently.

In the state trial, a San Francisco jury found DePape guilty of kidnapping, first-degree burglary and false imprisonment of an elder. The attack left Paul Pelosi, now 84, in hospital for six days with a fractured skull and other injuries.


The guy deserves incarceration but life with no parole?

That’s the kind of “justice” only ill gotten Pelosi money can buy.

Avoid only singing nursery rhymes ‘steeped in white culture’ like Baa Baa Black Sheep, councils tell parents

White children playing Monopoly should be given more money and less jail time, to teach them about racial privilege, councils have advised parents.

Mother and fathers have also been warned about singing nursery rhymes “steeped in white culture”, including Baa Baa Black Sheep.

The guidance on how to “raise anti-racist children” was created for Barbie manufacturers Mattel with the help of a BBC education consultant. It has since been pushed by local councils in England.
