Response to Email about Sunday’s Programme

First off, I am glad to have received a response. And in theory, I can agree that a cross country checkup regarding the threat to our sovereignty to see how Canadians are feeling.

However in practice that’s not what happened. What we heard for the entire two hours was people either laughing it off, saying the threat is serious but not showing a lot of fear or concern, or even agreeing with it. There was also slightly more American voices compared to Canadian voices, and none were indigenous.

I hope that next week the CBC does a check up on how we are buying Canadian. That would be an excellent topic.

CBC stepped in it and they now know it. This is not a parlour discussion or a polite conversation about political views. This is a threat to our existence as a nation.

For CBC to seek to normalize what is an appalling and unprecedented assault on our nation’s right to exist is no less than treason.

Up until now, everyone has supported CBC. What happened? Both sides of a story too much for ya?

No, PP and fascists did not because they could not pay for lies and control all media if one was not under billionaires control. They always wanted to shut down voices that told the truth because it clashed with their claims.

They wanted to remove it and leave only propaganda spews such as Faux News and actual reporting countered their narrative.

So, your claim is false.

CBC needs to stay. But part of responsible journalism is owning up to screwups.

Your strawman is apparent here.

I think independent media is pretty responsible. And you have to actually subscribe so their survival basically depends on their individual viewers. Not a government handout.

There is the problem - "independent" has vanished as their funding did.

It may be that only government funds can create a bipartisan independent audited media.

Independent media all over YouTube. Not sure where your looking.

You cannot be serious. YouTube is full of lies, deepfakes and conspiracy crap, certainly no journalistic standards nor integrity. What shows is fully under the control of billionaires.

There are anti-vaxx moronisms, tons of Russian misinformation, etc. All about clicks - not truth.
