Seems like a frequently asked question:
APTN does not receive government funding for operations but generates revenue through subscriber fees, advertising sales and strategic partnerships. Detailed information can be found in our latest Communiqué.Why the sea of government “arts” funding logos after every show? I just asked and when they don’t answer I suspect we know the score. If it’s all “out there” then a clear budget and source of public revenue contribution should be easy and quick to provide. I’m certainly not the only one asking politely.
It seems every movie or sitcom filmed in or produced in Canada has the same sea of assorted government logos (usually POTawa, OntariOWE and PAYbec). I see none of this on US produced shows. Why?

I sent a very polite email to APTN network a month ago asking about the source of their annual funding and their total annual operating budget.
I expect of course they are a taxpayer funded welfare child in the national interests of “culture” and “inclusion”. Whose interests?
I received an automatic reply that the message was received and would be relayed to the appropriate department. One month and no response so I’ve turned it over to my MP and the PMO in POTawa, the later of which will toss it and call me a racist.

Why is a person's gender important to anyone else?
Exactly, but especially more-so to the person having the mental difficulty. THEY are the one’s deeming it apparently “important” so that’s naturally going to invite other opinion from those who want the individual to get the mental help they need. This is because we’re a caring and compassionate society.
Gender can never change. A mentally ill person can even saw their pee pee off, but they cannot change their chromosomes. Male are XY and female are XX. It’s painful for others to see such a pointless suffering.

1. I am more inclined to laugh at the arguments here against wokeism, because they don't seem to have any teeth. It's much more difficult to argue with those who have entrenched arguments in favour of illiberalism. I prefer 'illiberalism' because THAT is what we have to be careful of, not calling someone a woman if they ask you to.
2. Most of the time the answer is 'I do not care'. If people are all for it, then why should I start caring about women's sports now ? I almost never watch it, so I'm not going to stand up for it when it's faced with hyperbolic what-if scenarios.
I'm pretty sure that people generally can work something out in this area without my help.I asked a polite question and got back a typical liberal load of drivel. Anyone can ask me to refer to them as a rhinoceros if they wish but the question remains, should men be competing in women's sport?

My guess is that most of the people against these things will be well in the ground before it comes close to bothersome. My grandfather wouldn't abide by today's social policies, but it's ok as he died 50 years ago so he doesn't need to live with it.
"... most of the people against..."
Are you saying then that you support men in women's sport competing against women?
-
The Olympics haven't done themselves any favours in recent years with so much childhood silliness now being considered medal "sports", but the so-called freight train of "transgender" indoctrination will finish them as more and more men compete in more and more women's sports. We'll go blind from the asterisks cluttering every column of results.
We're not going to make it are we?

Never heard of a penalty shot being awarded in a playoff hockey game? Where have you been for the past 50 years?
England lost in the Euro final on a penalty shoot out as well. Those were men.Some of you boys sure seem threatened by women who are good at sports
My position has nothing to do with gender inequality. I consider it a female child's schoolyard game. It is not a grown man's sport. I don't care what adult women do but if it's soccer, play until there's a winner decided in the normal course of play.
Also, I was clear that I disagree with penalty shots in ANY circumstance aside from in the course of normal play. Regular season hockey games should be played until there's a winner in normal play. Shoot-outs to decide a winner in ANY sport are silly.

Actually, what they won was the women’s penalty kick gold. They failed to score in actual live play in regulation where their only goal was on a penalty kick. Then they prevailed in penalty kicks to decide it.
In actual live play of the game of soccer, Sweden prevailed 1-0. This is one of so many reasons I can never take soccer seriously, not unlike the shoot out in regular season hockey. Play the game until there’s a winner, just like the NHL during playoffs.
Soccer is a girls school yard recess pastime. ? *ducks*

I was in advertising, design and copy writing for 35 years. People should be reminded that daily newspapers and their respective websites are written to a Grade 5 reading level. That is our world of education and intelligence.

I associate state broadcasters with China or the former Soviet Union. I would shut them down in my first week freeing up billions for actual needs.

I’ve reached a point whereby I don’t want unvaccinated people around me. By and large I expect they’re people I didn’t want around me before either.

The Conference Board of Canada says 70% of Canadian households are TWO missed pay periods away from a slide they wouldn't be able to stop.
$100,000. pick-ups are not normal. Nor is an $8.00 head of lettuce in Winfield, Alberta.

That the Minister of Agriculture is not from the west is just another in a long line of BS insults from POTawa. 70% of the cattle industry in this pretend country is in Alberta for example and as for grain... just look west.

islam has no place on this continent. We must halt more coming and make life difficult for those here refusing to assimilate. They are filled with evil terror and their women are owned chattel property. They don’t fit.

According to Global we're up 81% in new cases in the past 14 days. Most things are wide open and it shows. I'm starting to think this virus and the spin off variants aren't going anywhere soon. I don't want unvaccinated people anywhere near me. Circumstances are virtually begging for vaccine passports.

You don’t pay squat for us. WE pay for your folly to the tune of $10B annually, much of it to PAYbec.
I no longer want to help people who’re a drain on me and my neighbors. That seems to be the routine and a fine system you’ve established controlling the colonies. I would shatter it in a New York Minute. Then what’s your plan? You don’t have one actually.

I figure my groceries are up 30% in the past year but I’m on a fixed income. I keep swallowing it everywhere and I have little left to give. Forget a social life. That was gone long ago. Now the new condo fees are coming. That includes gas, power and water. Gulp.
I’m terrified. This is not what I had in mind working nights and weekends to meet ad deadlines much of my life. I haven’t had a vacation in eight years. It’s all been a big lie.
I would suggest the “prosperity” is more like EZ credit. Kids being driven 4 blocks to school in financed $75,000 SUV’s and living in homes with 3.5 bathrooms is not prosperity but living beyond one’s means and needs in a fake illusion.

I see the "information age" as simply indoctrinating people. With a life long career in advertising I initially thought the juggernaut was aimed at youth but I'm observing weak and otherwise helpless adults falling for it. They don't even know how they're being bought and sold. Very sad.

The Eskimos of course DID follow suit and are now the Elks.
In addition, just yesterday actor Tom Hanks announced the new name of the former Cleveland Indians. They'll now be the Cleveland Guardians. I've yet to hear any word on a new name for the former NFL Redskins.

At what point should parents be held accountable for neglect? Should such children be removed from said homes? Could obesity be considered a form of child abuse?

I’ll say it again. DNA doesn’t lie. It’s one or the other and I don’t see male Lions thinking they’re female adopting cubs and pretending they’re a “family”. We need to stop making excuses for mental illness and focus on getting help where needed rather than folding the tents for every silly folly that blows in the wind.
Bruce Jenner can peacock all he likes and even saw off his pee pee, but he’s a male with male DNA.

For the most part I have no interest at all in women over 30 with very few exceptions. I consider 18-22 to be the prime window and to be honest, the 16 year olds resemble the 21 year olds when I was in University.
All of this is of course why I’m single at 61 and have been for 20 years. I highly doubt ANY sane woman has ANY interest in me so it all balances out nicely. It’s just better this way for all concerned.
I can buy any motorcycle stuff I want and drink orange juice straight out of the jug.

The bathroom peacock strutting parade party comes to a crashing halt the second a mentally ill man pretending to be a woman tries to enter a women's restroom where my step daughter is. :)

Cancel Culture is real and upon us. We continue to flood in despots from the wrong countries rather than English speaking professionals from clearly logical points of origin. Riding transit, I rarely hear English spoken (and why do they all yell?). If I were to move permanently to say Italy, it's utterly ridiculous to imagine I would go not speaking Italian or at least fast track learning it once there so as to fit in and coexist.
Even worse, the children of these migrants, ones born here are speaking Farsi, Arabic and Mandarin and being encouraged to do so by I assume their parents. I consider this almost child abuse given future educational and employment goals HERE. In effect, they're creating a ghetto amongst themselves. If they insist on living in the old country they should have stayed there in the first place.
CBC Radio . . . . anyone listen anymore?

I suggest ANYTHING in ANY category of life that has a dime of public funds involved is public information and should be available at the drop of a hat to anyone who asks.
I also believe anything shown by the CBC and APTN should have viewership ratings and numbers available immediately upon request. The party would be over quickly if such information were available and it certainly should be if a dime of public money is involved - which is the case.
