For a few seconds there I was worried that this was the new F**K TRUDEAU and God help me I am so done with that shit.
But FUND the CBC? HELL YES.
Fuck PP
Ok, you got me.
^GOOD L🍁CK TRUDEAU 🥸
Thought the same thing, actually elated after reading the bottom text because it wasn’t.
There was already someone on an overpass on Monday with a giant Fuck Mark Carney sign where I live.
I’m going to call that just a touch premature.
All the users coming here to complain about censoring swear words:
That’s actually a pretty clever ad.
Been watching a lot of news from multiple sources lately and the CBC coverage is SO GOOD compared to its US counterparts. Another amazing source I rely on every day is TVO. Steve Paiken is a god. The interviews and panels are like being in the company of adults after running a day care all day.
I mean … Comparing anything to US News outlets is kind of setting the bar really low, isn’t it?
They have outlets that are held out as more or less serious than others, but outside of PBS, it’s all a mess of news, opinion, delusion, and propaganda.
PS: Oh, and drug advertisements for the domestic audience
CBC are currently hiring 30 journalists across the country. I hope this means we wean ourselves off cheap US news and start investing in our own damn countries news, weather and culture. Given the US is repeatedly expressing their desire to violently annex us, investing in our own news seems like a no brainer. But also fuck the CPC who want to defund it and increase the flow of invader news media into Canada.
The CPC in all its forms have hated the CBC because they point out what the parties are doing wrong/scandals. The CPC does not like light on their actions, they feel targeted
The CPC are perfectly fine with foreign oligarch-owned, cheap US invader media and want more of it in Canada.
Whoa…so all those pickups had flags that said FUND TRUDEAU?
Anyone got any show recommendations on CBC Gem? Bf and I just downloaded it but not really sure what’s good yet.
We’re fans of sci fi and fantasy if anything like that is available on it
(Edit: thanks for the recs folks!)
Check out “station eleven” — a show set in a post-apocalyptic world but isn’t like any show you’ve ever watched in any genre. Only one season long and doesn’t end on a cliffhanger or anything, just a nice contained story
Family Law is pretty good. Lawyer show, set in Vancouver, stars Jewel Staite.
This is postered on a wall near me. I got really offended until I walked closer and saw the smaller text.
Good job whoever came up with it.
god I hate how neoliberals write stuff like this. The entire press release says nothing functional, except “the cbc is important” and then some easily fluffed assertions about what their plan ‘would do’. It’s really clearly written to avoid anything too committal.
The CBC came out already saying they want to see their funding doubled so they can provide even more journalism and provide CBC gems ith no ads without the paid option.
Sure, I’m all for increasing funding to the CBC. Just complaining about how neoliberals do everything. If the minister wants to increase funding to the CBC, say it in the press release. If she doesn’t, say it. This cagey say-nothing fluff is bullshit and people should find it offensive.
Here is a video of current Liberal heritage minister Pascale St-Onge saying she wants to change the funding formula and bring per capita funding up to the G7 average, up to $62/person, doubling it. Relevant part starts around 1 minute in.
It remains to be seen whether Mark Carney will be receptive to this.
It had been said before… Like a month ago. And how can they promise anything when parliament is prorouged? There’s a limit to what the federal government can and cannot do without parliament right now.
Not everything is a “NeOLIbeRaLs” problem.
Then don’t release a press release and a plan? Your comment doesn’t make sense in context.
It was what she wanted to SEE. Very clearly messaging towards people to not vote conservative aka the party that wants to completely dismantle it. Why are you getting so worked up over this lol
I’m not particularly worked up, I’m only responding because you’re continuing to bring it up. My whole problem is that what she wants people to see doesn’t actually tell anyone her plan. She has a plan, someone else posted her talking more openly about it. Her press release doesn’t actually say what it is, just reassures people without making any even vague commitments. I find that irritating. Honestly I think you should too. It’s one of the most transparent ways politicians try to avoid accountability.
NDP always for me.
