Do things like "laws" apply to Fort Mac landlords? I expect they're special cases inside the special case of Alberta.

I like the idea of the state funding an independent arm's length media source, I just wish the CBC didn't suck so bad. But then again it sucks in all the same ways as privately-owned modern journalism so I guess I can't really fault it too much.

CBC should get enough funding that they don't have to chase clicks for advertising revenue.

If I was a Canadian nationalist I'd say it's bad that so much of our media is privately owned by USA and that there should be more state funded outlets like CBC. But I am not, so gently caress it, who cares.

CBC Radio seems decent to me. Yesterday they were interviewing some conservative MP who was so mad about the supply and confidence agreement and the host was just continuously dunking on him for not understanding how parliamentary democracy works. Near the end she was just pointing out how it sounds like the CPC is mostly just salty about their inability to accomplish anything compared to the NDP of all parties.

"I feed you every morning and ask so little
But you belittle all the work, all the work that I do
When you take that walk without permission
I’m not defensive, I’m just saying this cause I love you
You know I hate it when your friends are in the pool
Old money stinks, send those faggots back to Forest Hill
Contentment? What contentment? I am bald and impotent
Is that what it’s about? Oh honey, honey, shut your mouth”

about the song, but brad lamb's been a known shithead for a long-rear end time.

he was recently called out for illegally renting apartments above an auto-shop that were giving the residents CO poisoning. when this became public, he evicted everyone with no notice. the building is going to be redeveloped as... condos

Yeah this, a million true crime podcasts, and the concept of the public broadcaster running Family Feud Canada with Gerry dee have pretty much killed any faith I have in the current CBC structure. Keep the local stations and radio, let the rest go or let global do it or whatever

I have trouble reconciling "this is how parliament works" with "parliamentary procedure is largely tradition"

obviously I'm thinking about it because of the post a few above, and that's one of the less dissonant examples of "that's how it works". there's no argument to be made for "supply agreements are illegal" or whatever

but in general it feels like an inadequate response. if something is unwritten tradition then it's very easy to change. and if your standard of government is "it's not illegal" then you're gonna have a bad time if 99% of canadians think you're doing something illegitimate but technically legal

idk I don't really have a solid point here. just feels like the "nyah I'm not touching you" of parliamentary procedure

also triple the cbc budget and ban advertising from everything it touches

as opposed to all the poo poo harper pulled that was also technically not illegal and simply against tradition?

the thing is this has always been the case, and both the CPC and the liberals have had ample opportunity to try to change it or enact actual laws to govern things, and they haven't. so take it as read that the peoples' representatives in this here representative democracy, do not in fact have a problem with the function of parliament in practice
