What are these MAGA clowns doing in Canada’s Parliament. The Conservatives are embarrassing to us as a country. The fascist virtue signaling is sickening.

    Speaking before question period, Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge said the Conservatives are trying to dictate how the CBC covers a conflict.

    “Sometimes the Conservatives say they want to defund the CBC, but it also looks like they want a state broadcaster so they should decide,” she said.

    👏

      Conservatives hate the CBC because it is old fashioned journalism. They report the truth as best the can. Conservatives hate the truth.

        The CBC is also one of only a few major non-conservative news outlets. In Canada, “Most media is Postmedia”. Without the CBC, the news would be absolutely dominated by conservative viewpoints.

          conservative viewpoints.

          Whch have become synonymous with lies and misinformation. I remember a time when that wasn’t so but it is absolutely, undeniably, 100% true today.

    Yup, the Cons are once again proving they have no actual principles, and are only involved in politics to empower & enrich themselves.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Catherine Tait, president and CEO of CBC/Radio-Canada, defended the public broadcaster’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas conflict in a sometimes testy meeting with MPs Thursday.

    She defended the newsroom’s longstanding practice of not referring to attacks or their perpetrators as “terrorism” or “terrorists,” saying CBC journalists do not want to be seen taking sides in the conflict.

    Tait said other major news organizations, including the Globe and Mail, the BBC, Reuters and Agence-France Presse, follow a similar practice.

    Bloc Québécois MP Martin Champoux asked Tait if she feared CBC journalists could face violence at home in this charged environment.

    NDP MP Peter Julian accused Thomas of turning the committee into a “street brawl” and said her demeanour was “incredibly unparliamentary and inappropriate in every way.”

    Conservative MP Melissa Lantsman asked Tait to apologize to the Jewish community for initially attributing the hospital blast to Israel by publishing that AP story.
