i'm not sure if i prefer the world where i can see which billionaires are shamelessly making GBS threads in the birdbath, or the one where there are low contribution limits and those same moneyed interests donate the same amount of money after a perfunctory shuffle

Why wouldn't it be? Ontario Proud is not directly affiliated with PCPO or the PC party of Canada. As long as we allow Working Families to do the same it's fair play I guess.

That was my point. Telling someone not to vote for X isn't a contribution to Y's campaign even if the only other candidate makes everyone go "zzzzzz".

Circumventing campaign contribution limits by giving them to a "completely unaffiliated" PAC instead of the candidate is stupid but so are all the alternatives so all hail the plutocracy

Last week, CBC Music chose to remove “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” from two of its holiday music streams in recognition of the differing opinions pertaining to the lyrics. This week, the most talked-about holiday tune of the season is being restored after hearing feedback from our audience.

“As you know, last week we decided to press pause to consider the different points of view on playing 'Baby, It's Cold Outside.' Because we value our audience input which was overwhelmingly to include the song, we have put it back on the two playlists where it had been removed,” said CBC public affairs head Chuck Thompson in a statement. “Appreciating not everyone interprets lyrics the same way, listeners may wish to skip the song as we understand not everyone will agree with this decision.”

Did anyone ever talk about Jesse Hersh getting booted off the CBC after he criticized both the CBC and Facebook, pointing out that a public broadcaster shouldn't have such a close relationship with a private company like Facebook. There's a good interview on Canadaland about the whole thing, and to his credit Hersh doesn't seem surprised and mocks the hell out of CBC management. Also Facebook demanding that the CBC provide them with what Hersh was going to say on-air the next day so they could respond in advance.

That's pretty rich coming from the guy who had a bunch of bitcoins and went on CBC radio to tell the old folks about amazing opportunities in bitcoin investing and how great an idea it was for others to invest in bitcoins.

I didn't know that. Still, I think he raised some good points about the CBC's relationship with Facebook, regardless of his crypto fetish.

i think like 3 different people brought this up to me on the weekend and all of them blamed raving PC culture mobs. I don't even know who was asking for these other than some scattered people on twitter saying that in todays context the whole thing doesnt make sense. some dumbass pr person at several radio stations thought this would make them look woke and made a big deal about it and it got dumb real fast

if any of y'all are attending ryerson give this dork a good wedgie

quote:

Currently Harrison studies journalism at Ryerson University where he is involved in campus politics and campus conservatism. As one of very few conservatives studying journalism in Canada, Harrison recognizes that there is a need to balance out the heavily politicized and slanted news media here in Canada. He is a patriot, a conservative and a Manchester United supporter (in that order).
