Meanwhile, over at The Line, they seem to be suggesting the liberals ditch Trudeau and the race and crown Carney.
How that will help I cant say, Mr Net Zero sounds intent to double down on all the idiotic energy policy that got us to this point, a world Trump obliterated with the stroke of a pen last week.
But I recall Gurney saying how intelligent Trudeau is so I guess that explains that.
The line started off with so much potential, and still is a decent editorial, but declined after COVID and i find myself a bit repulsed by how great and correct they think they are. Stopped paying for a sub last year.
I left when they limited commenting to one per story, they fit so perfectly in canadian media, polite and useless. The “no bullshit” just means using potty language occasionally. Had great hopes for Jen in calgary, still hopeful they will get it.
I once posted a link to a Taibbi post where he was asked what is his policy regarding comments, one line reply “I have none”.
Priceless
One of the best comment sections on Substack because of it, the idiots and trolls get weeded out by the “community”, no management required.
Regarding Taibbi’s comments section, very true. The best comment section naturally would fall under the best journalist on substack.
Regarding the line, also in agreement completely. The potty mouth comment is so spot on lol. The comment policing is incredibly cringe. Especially when they announce that so and so is banned for a month in a reply to the offending comment. Still I check in on some of their free posts, occasionally listen to their podcast. They seem to be growing and finding continued success. I have a feeling trump 2.0 may exacerbate the hysterics over there though.
Seems like two paths forward for the CBC after the next election (if we ever have one):
1. Total defund. CBC left to get support from advertisers and direct contributions from the public, like PBS in the United States (except no Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which is government taxpayer funded). Total freedom for the CBC to take whatever stance it wants on any issue.
2. Very limited government support ($100M) with guarantee that they will take no advertising and stay out of politics. Likely has to mean no news division since that would be impossible to keep politics free.
And that’s why I pay for a subscription at the Globe. One of the few outlets left doing journalism. It would be nice if the refused the subsidies though.
The morning David Johnston delivered his report there was coverage by all major news outlets, including those in the US and the even The Guardian. CBC digital had the announcement as its ninth story. The eighth story? “High winds topple garage in Tilsonburg” I have the screenshot.
I strongly suggest you and all who believe PP will defund the CBC throws the notion out the window as fast as possible. Not gonna happen, CPC and the Libs are too identical to believe this will ever be the case.
The cbc likely can’t help itself.

Your first podcast is great. Nice to hear some journalists who understand what's happening!
Thanks! We are pretty excited that it hit 10,000 views

The only way they can delay an election is to declare a national emergency. I doubt that the tariffs qualify.
Otherwise, they must pass legislation to delay it by a year.
Otherwise, the constitution says one must be held every five years.
But did she ask him to step aside, or did she ask him whether he said he would step aside? Big difference and I think it’s the latter.
