Public service employment has grown by 31 per cent

Its like Bubba's in KTown. Last week I had a slice for lunch. Who knew they were open other than at 0200, or that the pizza is edible when sober?

Upon further reflection: there are many unproven assertions in this statement.

For example, you're expecting us to believe you were sober during a visit to Kingston.

You have to admit: that is some next level trolling…

I love how he isn't wrong, and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it

I don't even know what they're getting all pissy about. When your annual budget is approx $11B a year, and that money comes from the state...you are state funded...

Ya I really dont get what CBC is all in a tizzy about. They are mostly publicly funded.

Unless of course they are just a Liberal shill and need to tow the line no matter how wrong it is... I dunno

People who spend a lot of time revealing the weak points of others often don't like having their own prodded.

The best Poutine in Canada is La Banquise in Montreal. Not even close

I think it’s the consistency. BBC is labelled as publicly funded vs government funded.

The issue lies also in the Opposition Leader being inconsistant as well. Targeting the CBC handle specifically while avoiding labelling the SRC to avoid angering Quebecers.

Update on strike stuff, I guess we find out tonight at 2100 hours. Attended a virtual meeting yesterday. Was interesting to say the least…

Is a 4-day work week part of the negotiations at all? That's been more commonly accepted now even in local businesses.

Its nice to see Que get special treatment from all parties. At least we're consistent in our cow toeing to Que.

I haven’t heard that that was part of what was being asked for. Mostly pay, WFH, and some other things like anti racism training, higher pay for firefighters and VAC employees etc

I do alot of working with 'Independent Agencies' of government, at various levels.

Some of them like to delude themselves that they are not really government, because they get to write reports on how bad government is at various things.

One of my clients exploded that myth for his staff one day when he asked them 'who signs your paycheck'?

It's a dangerous head space to be in, for sure....

The article states:
We are beholden to no one.
We report without fear or favour.
We act only in the public interest.

Any guess' what their views of the public interest are? I'm guessing they believe it's in the public interest that PP not become PM and assume they'll report accordingly.

The CBC should be a bland as hell vanilla reporter of factual events. Zero opinion, zero anything but straight facts. Since that is seemingly impossible for the current iteration of CBC, they should lose all public money.

It's "kowtow", but I confess I'm going to remember that one and probably will use it. Try to imagine Bessie "making her leg" to the premier of QC...

Woke broadcaster on behalf of the woke government.

. . . cow toeing to Que.

Cows? Didn't think they had them. Camels on the other hand . . . that's another image.

CBC North seems different than the mothership and the CBC archives are a treasure to be protected.
