  1. It was Oxford's not mine. Palestinians are Zionists by your stupid definition.
  2. Why do you insist on being so bloody silly about this? 1. a supporter of Zionism; a person who believes in the development and protection of a Jewish nation in what is now Israel. "the artist's parents were committed Zionists" Oxford Dictionary.
  3. Some say he has Castro's. Which might explain the way he was said to have treated the Freedom Convoy.
  4. And the word social has nothing to do with it? Colour me skeptical. I can't think of any other word that triggers right wing suspicions faster. I mean good grief man look at the number of times you associated the concept with the left in your OP. I figured there was little point reading past the part of your post that I quoted.
  5. I certainly think the average Canadian was qualified enough to determine why it needed an air-force back then. Apparently Ottawa gave Canadians their opinions on the matter decades ago. The pattern remains the same to this day.
  6. I said I agreed, I simply pointed out your sore tush made it even more specific what you meant to say. Here, have a donut.
  7. It's not the word justice in the concept that twists you people into Mobius pretzels.
  8. Like it was yesterday. True - in fact you were even more specific when you said The cbc moves to attack anything on the right to the point of posting fake news on a disturbingly regular basis. ...they just hate the right. Awwwww. .
  9. So what you're saying is, the CBC is the deepstate and it's agenda is to destroy the right. And you know this because they never say anything bad about the Liberals and especially Mr Socks. PP clearly represents an asylum of loons.
  10. Speaking of scale, didn't we have the 4th largest armed force on the planet once upon a time? We could have had a seat on the UN Security Council with those sort of chops. So what happened? I mean I get that being 4th place was due to having an economy on a wartime footing but clearly this business of declining started long before any of us were born. Why would a government with the 4th largest army in hand start us down that path?
  11. Did the government of the day ever ask Canadians if they wanted to scrap the Avro Arrow and I mean as directly as I just asked? Asking Canadians what they want (LOL) is just not part of the program. Wait for it....
  12. They only thing that's gotten worse is the right wings paranoia - to the extent people actually believe the PMO and CBC editorial room are essentially one and the same thing. There's no evidence whatsoever of the several lines of communication it would take to engineer the amount of propagandizing imagined to be happening. Unless PP is trying to say Justin simply calls up Ian Hanomansing and tells him what he wants to hear that night on the news. If it was that easy why wouldn't PP avail himself of the same opportunity, he's too virtuous or something?
  13. It'll be a real treat to see Poilievre explaining why we need to scrap the CBC using the very same frank language you guys do. LMAO!
  14. Leaving Canada without the same sort of public broadcaster advanced democratic countries around the world have maintained for over a hundred years and for the same reasons. So how many other countries are scrapping their publicly owned broadcasters because they're biased, woke, and only ever put conservatives in a bad light?
  15. Yes that's what I said. Both hope and expectations are running high and there also seems to be a sense that time is running out and that's its now or never for conservatism. If it doesn't work out the way you hope there's always MAID.
  16. Yes and as the article I posted pointed out Poilievre will have a very difficult time doing that without changing the law that created the CBC. Especially after explaining to everyone how simple it will be - its just common sense right? LMAO! No, the same article reported that 40% of CBC's budget is spent in Quebec. I think you're dreaming. The chances are high that Quebec is going to ask PP to maintain the level of spending Quebec has become accustomed to. All of a sudden it won't be so simple, twist Quebec's arm or backpeddle from a signature promise? It was also to have a news service that wouldn't be dominated by American broadcasters across Canada, nobody wanted that. Content has and should still be a factor. Its curious that the loudest voices against the CBC are amongst the loudest who bemoan the loss of our Canadian character. As for access via the Internet, that's how I get it. The guy across the way has a dish, we all had cable before that. I haven't seen a pair of rabbit ears for decades. So what about a discussion about the main reason PP wants to scrap the CBC? Personally I think its because he's a dumb-ass chud who's swallowed the hooey that says the editorial boardroom of the CBC and the PMO are one and the same thing and all we're getting for our money is propaganda from Beijing. Sure Poilievre could scrap the entire CBC across the country including Quebec. But it won't be happening without a lot of attention given to the real reasons he want's to. I doubt they'll go over as well as you think they will.
  17. Just about the whole planet is embracing conservatism - out of desperation not hope. When it's finally dashed there as well is when things get really interesting. Conservatism is burdened under an enormous amount of expectation, and I doubt the desperados banking on them will have much use for patience.
  18. You figure Quebec will settle for getting 1 40th of the funding they're accustomed to getting? Especially if they push the issue? Let us know how that works.
  19. Yes, 100% - 60% equals 1. Your application of arithmetic skills are legendary around here. You must work for the government.
  20. You seem pretty keen on retaining funding for Quebec. Will you be as keen about Quebec telling the CBC what it's allowed to report as you are terrified when Ottawa tells them what to report?
  21. No, the willingness of you chuds to cheer PP's suckholing to Quebec.
  22. You're dangerously obsequious and deferential to dictators. Go Trump/Putin go? What a bunch of fu cking homos you people have become.
  23. Sure if PP just gives it to them plus funding plus...plus plus. Of course he'll probably blame Trudeau for forcing this conclusion on him and the Conservative base will shrug, backpeddle, change the channel etc etc. It's hilarious.
  24. Entirely wrong? It should be obvious why a CRTC vice chairman's assessment of the situation carries a lot more weight than yours. His base of support. By rights they should be demanding PP sell the Francophone portion of the CBC to Quebec if they want it and leave it to them provide their own funding. No it's isn't, it's perfectly clear that PP can do what you're suggesting. The issue is will his base and Quebec put up with it.
