Because it isn't. Read up on what SOP is in these cases. They currently feel the best way to treat it is to lean into the mental health issue and "affirm' thier gender of choice hoping that will reduce their tensions and allow them to lead a semi normal life. But there's not a lot of evidence that says they will.

It's well past that. Oh you mean illegally terminate people for their beliefs without sufficient proof that they engaged in partisan activities permanently. There is ZERO chance of getting away with that and any gov't who tried would find they'd go into the next election with the expensive lawsuits ongoing and be running as the 'mean to the beloved cbc' party. You realize toronto largely elects who's gov't. Telling them they can't apply isn't going to go over well. More lawsuits and wrongful dismissals and the people get their jobs back Dude.... no. Just no. This is not how it works in Canada. You can't just 'fire' everyone. So here's the thing. The cbc actaully iS able to distance itself from the govt' That's WHY they can favour the libs. So NONE of what you've suggested is possible. THe gov't doesnt' get to hire or fire anyone at the CBC And even if it did - the libs would just fire the people and hire back the ones they liked next time they got in. It is beyond saving. All you can do is defund it and let it burn itself to the ground.

It's not a minority tho - it's a pimp majority The ndp sold their independence to the libs and now it's more like a 'minority wif bitcches" where it's not a minority at all. That certainly will be the lib angle to draw them.. Amazingly - right now the ndp is bleeding to the cpc. But the libs will pull their often used and often successful ploy of "please ndp, you must join forces and vote with us to stop the terror of the evil conservative nazi's!!!!!!" And that may work. Traditionally when we see these deals the jr partner in the deal suffers greatly next election. However - sometimes when that happens it pushes the blue liberals into the camp of the tories. And there's strong indications that may happen here. People are worried about the deficit, they're worried about inflation and interest rates, they're worried about ever buying a home Those are all CPC bread and butter issues and also ones that trudeau has a bad track record for. Generally politicians are great campaigners OR they are great leaders. Rarely do they excel at both. Harper for example was a terrible campaigner. Obama - gerat campaigner but very mediocre leader. I think PP is going to be one of those very very very rare ones where he does well at both. I think he's going to run a very solid campaign and really wow people and probably take a majority, and i think he'll do better than most as a leader. (tho trudeau is setting that bar pretty low).

Yeah it's just too big a mess to fix. Well that's up to the cbc. They can go that route and try to make it as a private provider. Nothing that justifies using public money to fund a partisan news agency. Nothing helps 'reboot' a culture like making it earn it's own supper. If they wish to continue it then they will have to create a model that actually appeals to enough people that they can generate revenues and keep going, I doubt they will to be honest - i dont' think these people have the SLIGHTEST idea what canadians actually want or care about, but they certainly can try.

that's probably not without merit. Well it probably would. The english version anyway. They get 70 percent from gov't and 30 percent from ad sales - but the ad sales are only so high because they bought the viewership with the 70. So once that's gone and they can't afford the shows, the ad revenues dry up too and you're left with practically nothing. They would have to compete just like any other station and even the established ones are fighting for money these days. The good news is the death of the cbc would probably help the other news media - suddenly about 500 million dollars or more in advertising money would be freed up and looking for a place to call home.

Heh Well in fairness for elected pm's canada has a long standing tradition of giving them 2 full terms worth of time, and that's about 8-10 years. Which is right where justin will be at the next election. He MIGHT win again - it's possilbe - but its pretty unlikely. The real question is will it be a majority or a minority.

Unfortunately you're right. Gov't is downstream of culture, not upstream. it's not at all mindboggling - one throws out rotten fruit and thinks nothing of it. Frankly i think the french services will also find they don't have a lot of extra coin for screwing around. There is no reasonable ability to reform the cbc. The problems are systemic and pervasive and with the people in the corporation itself. You can't legislate against that. You'd literally have to rebuild it from ground up and why would you bother? There's nothing the cbc provides that the public market doesn't provide just as well or better.

Honestly - i don't think it is. If that were the case it would be simple - change gov'ts. I think they ARE independent but they have DECIDED that the prefer one gov't over others and they collude to benefit that gov't at every turn. And that's a bigger problem, because there's no fixing that. They are WILLFULLY partisan - the only thing you can do at that point is burn it down.

Sorry, but I'm never apologizing. OH - crap, i think i blew it...

With respect to this specific issue I think he also realized during his first term that the horror he had given birth to with the subprime market where even LOOKING for a job was good enough to get a mortgage could only end one way and he tried to dial it back. But - dems had the bit in their teeth, it was very popular, they didn't think these days of milk and honey would ever end.

Very true Humphrey

Nope. Brought in by the dems, held in place by the dems till it was too late. Bush tried. This was a democrat move exclusively and the republicans tried to fight it like hell. That's true. But that's largely because the dems didn't understand what they were doing at all. "the shoulder thingie that goes up". A common story . Nothing sells guns like a rumour of a ban.

High risk subprime mortgages for everyone. They fought for that and won. "Everyone should have a home". Mind you that lead directly to the crash in 08 which took down teh whole world with it but by god they won it and nobody was taking it away. (Clinton regretted it and tried to undo it with no luck).

But but but but you said they didn't matter, it was all kgb lies, nato is an ocean force blah blah, Thanks for stating what i said in the beginning - Finland joining nato is bad news for the russians. Glad you leraned something here. Maybe next time read up on it before disagreeing.

That just means you won't get arrested for your disloyalty. Which is fair, you shouldnt be forced to be loyal. But that doesn't make it any less odious or make you any less disloyal. It just means it's legal.

Here's a clue sparky - if you have to announce victory, you probably lost : ) And no, i'm just smarter than you and it doesn't take me as long to reply. Also i can type with more than two fingers

You can't really compare someone who gets 5 percent of their revenues to someone who gets 70 percent. Personally - i think the 'state funded' nametag should be reserved for those cases where removal of that funding would require the station to shut down a substantal part of it's services. If PBS for example lost 5 percent of it's revenues it would have to do some belt tightening and maybe make it up with more donations elsewhere, But they'd survive just fine. If cbc lost 70 percent of it's revenue it's done - close up the shop and turn out the lights, except for perhaps a few podcasts or radio.

Yeah - posting a wikipedia page that doesn't actually address the issue doesn't make your argument. You either call people a nazi directly or if you think it's going to be hard to sell that you call them a nazi indirectly by claiming they think exactly like a nazi or that they've elected nazis. Everyone's a nazi to you except your own tribe - the conservatives, men, whites, definitely the jews, any non-woke media or talk personality, virtualy everyone. It makes you a bad person. Your hatred and bigotry are no different than that of the slave owners, or the actual nazis, or the communists during the revolution. It's all about hatred and demanding that "the other" is a lesser, barely-human and there fore deserves to be mistreated. For their own good i suppose. It's odious.

HAAAAAHAHAHAHAAHA - well there you go If something that would take up half a page is too much for you to get through then i guess an actual book or the like would kill you NO wonder you're so misinformed, if it won't fit into a tik tok it's too much for your brain to cope with Poor little thing I hope like hell you're pretty.

Sure. This is more of an exercise in analyzing a current social and economic phenomenon than something that's going to impact you or me terribly. It will affect some significantly but not the majority of people. Tomorrow, there will still be beer. Careful - you're letting your hypocrisy show. Not to mention a little bigotry and hatred. You give your inability to be couth and rational about this away with talk of how "myself and my pals" are transphobic and terrible people blah blah. I don't care that bud did this, it wouldn't influence me one way or another to buy their product. I wouldn't care if any of the companies i do favor did it. SO - swing and a miss there kiddo. That's what happens when you let hate guide your thinking, you make mistakes. Further as i said i doubt it's all about transphobia - but your hatred of anyone who doesn't share your views leads you to decide it is because those are by definition terrible people. But the evidence doesn't point to that. Of course you don't - as a hatemonger and bigot you expect the worst of people you consider 'lesser' humans and if they don't conform to your ideology well.... you'll just say they did right? At the end of the day you know i'm correct and it's pissing you off. That's not a good reason to be angry at me. I'm just speaking truth to power.

ROFLMAO - remember when i told you that if you have to lie to make a point, you don't have a point? In each case you mentioned the companies took a MAJOR hit. And didn't start recovering until AFTER the woke stopped. Disney - we discussed this just about a week ago right? they were making about 17 billion a year, the 'woke' scandal broke and they dived to 14 biliion or so, fired all the woke people eventually and NOW are climbing back up but they STILL haven't gotten to where they were. It's cost them billions and billions. And they stopped going woke to prevent going broke. Same with all the other ones you mentioned including bud lite - dropped about 8 BILLION in stock value overnight, massive sales losses. They then disavowed the woke, and they've got TRUMP BEGGING on their behalf for people to give them a break and forgive them. They're STARTING to recover a little but still way below where they were in short - all of those companies took major hits and only started to recover AFTER the woke was fired. Get woke go broke. It's real and corporate america is learning the lesson. People are sick of the woke

Blah blah blah more reasons why i'm not really a canadian try to justify my disloyalty blah blah Sure kid.

Blah blah blah reason i'm disloyal bunch of bullcrap Whatever kid.

No, Canada is Canada. And yes - here's your list of reasons you hate canada and feel it's ok to be disloyal to Canada and it IS nothing but a huge game with you. Just like the "i don't know what you're talking about, oh actually i did all along" game.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/cbc-government-funded-media-twitter-1.6812591 they are not happy about this. Frankly - i don't see why it's that big a deal, they are gov't funded with 3/4 of their money coming from the gov't, it doesn't say gov't controlled or the like, and it's entirely true. And it is worth noting that they do have a financial tether to the gov't, and whether the gov't has pull or not with them that relationship may very well colour their stories. Especially when one of the gov't contenders is running no de funding them.
