Queenmandy85 Posted October 10, 2021 Report Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) Private broadcasters are marketed to the lowest common denominator. They do not provide programming aimed at the smaller market demographics. The CBC is owned by the Crown. The Crown provides services for all of us. You sound like a republican.

Don Cherry was fired, and their content during intermissions is trash, as is the pre and post game coverage if it wasn't for the hockey, no one would watch it the only thing people are watching for, has nothing to do with the CBC and is in spite of the CBC the only non shitty content that the CBC has, has nothing to do with them and is simply there to prop up the shitty content they actually have something to do with there is nothing of value that the CBC does, that can't be done by private media companies much better than CBC does it they are totally useless Edited October 10, 2021 by Yzermandius19 Quote

Queenmandy85 Posted October 10, 2021 Report Posted October 10, 2021 If Mr. O'Toole is given the opportunity the CPC will attract the Red Tories to return and we will once again be, in Senator Hugh Segal's words, the Happy Warriors in the Great Tory Crusade. We will get our party back and win the next election. Quote A Conservative stands for God, King and Country

I was an activist from Diefenbaker to MacKay's stabbing the Conservative party in the back, killing it. There are a lot of conservative activists in the party that hold really untenable ideas. I know, I'm one of them. We see anti vaxxers, anti fluoride people, and then some really crazy ones like me. I've heard some say get rid of the CBC, which was created by the Conservative government. This country would not exist if Conservative PM Sir John A. MacDonald had not poured taxpayer money into building the railway. We are carrying an enormous debt load from the response to Covid. Does anyone doubt a Conservative government would have handled it differently? I sure hope not. No government can govern through an ideological sense. Ideology is the stupid idea that a single philosophy can answer all problems It is the enemy of pragmatism and it is the main issue that holds the CPC back. I think your wrong, i consider myself a conservative voter, and refrained from voting because of his mid change of direction, such as gun control stance, fossil fuels stance, etc... those in my opinions are not fringe ideas but real conservative values... I agree there are some tinfoil operators within the the right side of politics, but lets be frank there is just as many on the left side as well. But in O Toole case the platform he won to represent the Conservative party had large chunks of it changed mid course swinging more past the center and into hard red territory. Getting rid of the CBC is not a fringe idea, and is not the same CBC when it first started out, it has now transformed into a leftist strong hold that does not represent both sides or for that matter the truth. Why would we fund one and not all the others, and are we getting our moneys worth. I mean most Canadians are not tuning in because of the great Canadian content, as we watch mostly American content, yes we tune into the news but that might be it... as for hockey again you can pick it up on the American channels as well... Yes we do carry a massive debt from the pandemic...and I'm sure the conservatives would have done some thing differently... and those expenses did not need to be so high, like paying teenagers CERB, while living at home with parents making over 150 K a year, and then giving them a x mas present and telling them they did not have to pay it back, and are still paying them out...there are many examples. Yes i agree it was a time when everyone needed a hand out.. but like everything it was rushed and by rushing it , left huge loopholes that Canadians soon jumped on board the gravy train...like rats to a grain train... Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have now done so much for so long with so little, we are now capable of doing anything with nothing.
