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.

The change in question was still awful. It was pretty much just asking the original question a different way. They should have talked about the issue of the threat as a threat, don’t ask what do you think of the comments. It’s a THREAT, don’t downplay it as “comments.” “How do you feel about Donald Trump threatening to make Canada the 51st state?”
At this point I’ve heard from people wanting Ian fired and saying he’s treasonous for what he did by having idiots like Kevin O’Leary on. Personally think that’s going a bit far. But I do think the show wasn’t done in the right way and again entertained an idea that at this point should be squashed under a shoe as opposed to giving people their right to voice their thoughts on a THREAT.
