This is an excellent Evan Dyer piece on how #BigHands constantly lies.

It's one thing to cheat at Monopoly with your little kids, to teach them the importance of a corrupt economic system. It's another thing as a leader to constantly lie about information, and to exploit and intimidate and threaten your allies.

End the fascist.

Is Evan Dyer related to Gwynne Dyer? I mean, could be obvious?

Eff me, Canadian media have become a bunch of credulous lapdogs—CBC huffing and drooling at the front of the dog-walker’s pack of the tamed, submissive animals.

Not one story I’ve heard yet of Doug Ford’s latest interaction with Washington has mentioned the coincident hammering the market has been taking as the tariff idiocy escalates and Trump’s desperate need for an out.

They’ll be back. Ford has been used.

Mark these words.

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus [#CBC], including Illinois Rep #LaurenUnderwood, plan to wear black to the speech to "capture the party's somber mood," according to her & to reports from Axios.

Other members are planning to wear blue & yellow to show solidarity with #Ukraine, just days after #Trump ordered a pause on military #aid to the country.

CBC controversy over Trump’s annexation threats reveals a broader crisis in journalism

The now-infamous Cross Country Checkup episode copied the playbook for anti-trans media coverage

Councillor Dudas is proposing the City of #Ottawa weans off X. Great initiative, but city staff is nervous because "what if there is an emergency?". May I remind the City there is a thing called #Radio for 145 years? I strongly suggest the City doesn't depend on Elon Musk for emergency messaging. I have more faith in the #CBC. Just a thought.

That #CrossCountryCheckup was quite disappointing. But I guess I expected as much.

When I heard their fascist-normalizing question a few days ago I was really pissed at their terrible framing of the issue. It's like they don't understand what they're doing at all.

On the big screen! I joined former CPC leader Erin O’Toole, the CBC’s Aaron Wherry, and Marie Vastel of Le Devoir, for a panel discussion about media and politics for the Canadian Study of Parliament Group. I talked quite a bit about Mastodon, and why I had quit X. It isn’t easy to do a panel like this via video, but I did my best to be part of the conversation! #Ottawa #yow #cdnpoli #CBC #LeDevoir #CPC #SenateofCanada

Cutting ads on CBC? Ottawa’s plans for the public broadcaster

Again, it’s important for Canadians to understand that the Conservative base doesn’t speak for the majority of Canadians. (It can be easy to lose this fact in the way news is reported in Canada)

If only 11% of Canadians are in favour of dismantling the CBC, then the other 89% of Canada needs to step up to make sure it doesn’t happen!

#Vote #NeverPoilievre

“. . . for the Conservatives, promising to defund the CBC "very much speaks to a significant portion of their base. It lights up a crowd. It has inspired fundraising like crazy."

But that message may not resonate the same way with the electorate as a whole. Jessica Johnson is a senior fellow at McGill University’s Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy, which conducted survey research that found most Canadians — even Conservative voters — want to keep the CBC around.

Overall, only 11 per cent of those who responded to the survey in late August and early September 2024 were in favour of defunding the public broadcaster.”

The leopard is eating your face - but it didn't start with your eyes so you get to watch!

The CBC headline writer hurt himself pandering to the oligarchy so hard today. Oligarchy need defenders.

#MSM #CBC #Oligarchy

A sign of things to come: #Trump calls back #ViktorOrbán before he calls back #JustinTrudeau. Distance from the US to Canada: 0 km. ... to Hungary: 6000 km. Population: Canada: 40 million, Hungary 9.6 million. As reported by #AlthiaRaj on #CBC #TheNational

Public #media gets a lot of hate in #Canada.... but I definitely get more than $33/y of value from the #CBC.

And funding has been squeezing for years so we're probably even lower now.

Can't think of much else that is this efficient tbh.

#CdnPoli

Lots of thought provoking commentary from #failure #turncoat #twoface #bobrae and others on #cbc rejoicing at Syria’s new shot at a step up on the democratic scale.

No word from Genocide-Bob on why Palestinians don’t enjoy the same right to pursue freedom and self-governance in their own land.

Such a gigantic sanctimonious turd.

Today on our podcast Re-Creative Mark A. Rayner and I talk to the Video Diva herself, the inimitable Cathi Bond. If you're a fan of CBC Radio, you will remember Cathi from her many appearances on CBC Radio's DNTO, Spark, Metro Morning and other shows.

We talk about the books in her Woman of Good Standing trilogy, writing fiction, her musical inspirations, and Cathi even barks once or twice.

CBC Radio didn’t even mention Gaza in the hourly update.

No fallout from the cry-wolf events in Amsterdam. No death counts.

Gone.

That’s how bad the rest of the world is looking.

Barely squeezed in Toronto having Taylor Swift—or whichever way it is.

Who I have nothing against, by the way, setting aside carbon footprint. I know only ‘Folklore’ and fifty-percent-or-so of the songs are re-listenable - a respectable result these days.

#cbc #genocide #toronto #canada #media #journalism

Canada's #racist #genocide -enabling #CBC continues its hagiography of Murray Sinclair who led a ‘Truth & Reconciliation’ for Indigenous survivors of our own ethnic cleansing and ‘reeducation’ efforts.

Indigenous leaders here have been deathly quiet on Gaza, by the way. Perhaps they fear a return to the bad old days if they point out the many similarities of Palestine under European Israelis to their own history of being fenced-off, cheated, starved, imprisoned & slaughtered.

#canada #gaza

I had a sad chuckle at this.

Looking at the Recommends from Youtube as I watch the AP feed, there are three other live feeds mentioned.

Fox: 186K watching
CBS: 20K watching
CBC: 771 watching.

Oooof.

The #CBC can stop pandering to Poilievre now: The poll found that 78 per cent of respondents want to see the CBC continue to operate, and 57 per cent would either increase or maintain funding.
