I am in British Columbia eagerly waiting for our polls to close so that I can find out what happened back east. Fortunately CBC Newsworld was able to satisfy my appetite with a few minutes of coverage that allowed me to see what was unfolding in Atlantic Canada, before our polls have officially closed in BC. This now begs the question, will Elections Canada punish the CBC for providing me with information that I wanted to know? Will they call the RCMP and raid CBC headquarters? If our tax funded election body takes on our tax funded public broadcaster, the tax payers are going to be paying the expenses on both ends.
It provided me with a moment of joy. I was jumping up and down in my apartment when I saw *bleep*'s acceptance speech in Nova Scotia. For that, I must thank the incompetent engineers at the CBC. Thank you.
This law is really pissing me off. The law predates the existence of television.
Congrats to Harper. Iggy and Gilles .... don't let the door hit you. :)
ReplyDeleteTime to sell the CBC!
ReplyDeleteActually that was a screwup with Shaw Direct who is supposed to chop the feed but seemed to have a few problems. That been said I second Fay's comment, time to sell CBC. :)
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see how the CBC deals with the lefty loss. The first thing I thought was now was the time to get rid of the CBC and this money saved would more than pay for the F35's over it's life cycle. The other thing I would do is refuse to talk to any of these reporter clowns and force their respective companies to bring in fair people who could criticize all parties equally. Am I being too tough or angry? This is a beautiful day in Canada.
ReplyDeleteTerry Milewski's attack last night on Guy Giorno where he accused him of being fearful of BC results was too much.
ReplyDeleteI suspect it might have more to do with a Giorno tweet earlier on the week:

Defund the CBC!
ReplyDeleteFining The CBC is taking money out of one of our pockets and putting it into another of our pockets. I would think the correct thing to do would be too fire whoever is responsible for the broadcast in general and all of his or her assistants associated with the program that must have concurred or it would not have happened. If any actual laws were broken they should be charged by the police and be responsible for their own legal fees.
