@Derricktgoat Why do our benefits apply to recent arrivals, refugees, and TFWs amid record immigration? Textbook wealth redistribution.

Mark Carney, bragging how families can’t afford to buy groceries in Canada so in the spirit of Socialism, the government will “rebate” some of the tax they took from everyone.

@Shooo2Shooo2 @CBC @liberal_party My idea of true torture is to be forced to watch CBC with ads and no mute button. Enough to give nightmares for most people IMHO

Does anyone watch anything on @cbc? Should they still be funded? Should we the tacpayers have a say in this? Does @LIbEral_party care?

@dubsndoo Let's go get a shovel and put an end to the debate. Body count still zero until proven otherwise.

For years now no actual evidence of a crime has been presented. Other than hearsay, rumours, and a lot of exaggeration and misinformation, there has not been one confirmed accusation of a murder having occurred in residential schools. Stop this charade and put up or shut up.

@HanyaToderoff Of course they will! Same crew that keeps telling us Carney’s doing a great job and then wonders why no one believes them.

@smith14536986 CBC will claim that these sources - Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics & the Canadian Association of Journalists Ethics Guidelines - are unreliable and untrustworthy.

💰💸💵💰Taxpayers pay $1.5 billion to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. For what? The media staff appear to be employed by the federal government - with headquarters in Ottawa. When a CBC journalist crosses the line - he/she gets fired for stepping outside the “standards”: if you are not a Liberal Devotee, then kiss your ass goodbye. The Standards: CBC lies. CBC promotes misinformation. CBC is a propaganda outlet that serves the government. So what is ethical journalism? “Ethical journalism is a professional code of conduct guiding reporters to gather, verify and publish information accurately, independently and responsibly. It serves as the foundation of public trust, distinguishing reliable news from rumor or propaganda by demanding truth, fairness, and accountability. The profession's core principles operate on four key pillars: 1. Seek Truth and Report It Accuracy: Journalists must verify information before publishing, provide proper context and avoid misrepresentation. Fairness: Reports should present multiple perspectives and give subjects the opportunity to respond to accusations before publication. 2. Minimize Harm Respect: Sources, subjects, and the public must be treated as human beings deserving of dignity. Vulnerable Populations: Journalists must exercise extreme caution when dealing with minors, victims of crime, or individuals experiencing trauma. 3. Act Independently Impartiality: The primary obligation of journalism is to serve the public; reporters must avoid conflicts of interest and refuse to accept gifts or favors that might compromise their integrity. Watchdog Role: Journalists must remain free of obligation to political, corporate, or financial interests to hold power accountable. 4. Be Accountable and Transparent Correction: News organizations must acknowledge mistakes and correct them promptly and prominently. Explanation: Journalists should clearly explain their editorial processes and ethical choices to their audiences. Sources: Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics & the Canadian Association of Journalists Ethics Guidelines. Looks like CBC has no code of conduct. Agreed?

@JimMcMurtry01 Did the RCMP make a land acknowledgement before releasing this statement? If I were a betting woman, I'd lay odds.

That the RCMP has never looked into the claimed “confirmation of the remains of 215 children…some were as young as three years old” is criminal. It embeds a grotesque falsehood into textbooks, memorials, policy, and the minds of people the world over.

@EvelynSmit95492 @tvc1five Might as well put the blame where it truly belongs: on a Liberal govt who can't keep their promises. x.com/TheReclamare/s…

This segment from CNN who will all know leans heavily left is calling out Canada both federally and provincially for poor forest management and maintenance. Quote we all share this continent and Canada isn't doing its part. @tvc1five for the segment & commentary ⬇️ CNN not FOX !

@sfshefford1 Justin Trudeau's promises $500M and 1,000 firefighters to help Canada fight wildfires. What happened? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Now we're supposed to believe Carney? Yeah, right. x.com/TheReclamare/s…

Jay they just don’t care … Pay your taxes and SFU

CBC rebounds with a May 2024 interview with John Vaillant on wildfires. He frames fossil fuels and climate change as the main driver making fires worse, using the term “Petrocene.” Zero mention of the 2021 Liberal campaign promise of ~$500M to train 1,000+ new firefighters and buy equipment like water bombers. Classic focus on the narrative, not the practical failures. cbc.ca/radio/ideas/fi…

Harper never groped anyone, Trudeau screwed us all.

@AaronGunn Dividing up the loot? Just what any good pirate would do after a successful pillaging campaign IMHO

Why are Canada Post executives getting massive bonuses at the same time they reduce services, run massive deficits and receive billions of dollars in bailout cash from taxpayers? If that's a "performance bonus," what does failure look like?

So glad taxpayers spent almost $6 million last year on “increased wildland fire resilience of Indigenous Communities through the leadership and equitable inclusion of Indigenous Peoples,” instead of buying more water bombers.

@bruce_barrett FN identity as Guardians of the Land. So . . . Step up Guardians, do your thing. I’m not seeing any piano tied to your butts, make it happen.

What if Canada paid the Indigenous to clean up the forests instead of paying them millions to complain?

@cbcwatcher CBC continues harmonizing with Liberal policy lines on wildfires — climate alarm as the only lens, government response as flawless. Best taxpayer-funded messaging money can buy. cbc.ca/news/politics/… cbc.ca/news/science/w…

Another taxpayer-funded CBC segment featuring Dale Beugin of the taxpayer-funded Canadian Climate Institute — presented as neutral analysis while pushing activist framing as undisputed fact Key excerpts from the interview: “the smoke, the fires, they're making it crystal clear that the costs of climate change are real. They're tangible.” On pipelines and future impacts: “it's going to be global emissions rather than Canadian emissions alone that are going to be driving that increase in climate impacts... continuing on the global emissions trajectory that we're on of emissions not decreasing to net zero means that we're going to continue to see these kinds of impacts. In fact, they're going to get worse. This is a harbinger of future impacts. They're going to be more severe and more catastrophic and more costly for Canadians.” No forestry experts. No discussion of decades of fire suppression creating massive fuel loads, mountain pine beetle-killed timber, logging practices that altered forest composition, or the proven value of prescribed burns and fuel reduction. These are core factors cited by Natural Resources Canada, provincial forest services, and independent fire scientists alongside any climate signal CBC’s own Journalistic Standards and Practices require accuracy, fairness, balance, and impartiality. On climate and wildfires, this standard is completely ignored — one side gets the platform and treated as fact; alternate expert views on active forest management get zero airtime Canadians are choking on the smoke and the policy failures. Real solutions require both sensible policy where it delivers results and serious, on-the-ground forest management CBC acting as a de facto climate advocacy network does not exempt it from basic journalistic obligations @brodiefenlon @CBCOmbud

While claiming 'more money in OUR pockets', @Liberal_party has spent billions on asylum/housing/settlement for new arrivals ($5B), foreign aid ($14B), Ukraine ($26B), and Net Zero policies costing Canada $1T in lost investment. Get your hands out of our pockets and start supporting Canadians!

Liberals think returning YOUR hard earned tax dollars via "free stuff" makes them heroes while they give BILLIONS to Ukraine with ZERO accountability as to where it is going or what it is spent on.🤨 This is a failed govt who is desperate.

@EdenHar36652477 I hear you, Eden. Been there, done that too. x.com/smith14536986/…

I evacuated from the McMurray fire, I witnessed the NDP laugh in our faces, and wished more would burn...spare me. We lost a house, a livelihood, a community and we will never forget or forgive...You listening Ontario? Ford wanted a personal plane, instead of water bombers...

Democratic Socialists have a different view on “fair share”: Mayor Mamdani in New York and Mayor Wilson in Seattle want the rich to fund social benefits—childcare, free buses, rent freezes, affordable housing, even city-run grocery stores. When redistribution is the priority, many wealthy residents and businesses choose to leave.

When people say “the rich” don’t pay their fair share…they really don’t have a clue what they are talking about….

@dubsndoo Carney's answer was to give $125M to Brazil for climate change initiatives. That will fix it, thanks.

What a total bullshit answer; instead of taking responsibility for not buying or building a fleet of water bombers, he blames it on America for not taking action on *climate change*. Strange how far more forested land goes up in flames in Canada than America.

@Mattpetti32 Body count still zero. Let's go get a shovel and prove this once and for all.

They might as well just openly that they want to censor free speech instead of dressing it up. Nobody is denying what took place inside Residential Schools. The claim that there are bodies without physical evidence of bodies is a legitimate debate. You can't simply make a serious accusation like this without concrete proof.

@RMC19861987 Yellowknife 2023 wildfire. We witnessed govt failures at the all levels: conflicting instructions to residents, no real mass evacuation plan, no advance preparation or clear public communication. Last-minute warning. End result — run for your lives, you're on your own.

❤️‍🔥"There is nobody looking out for us." The 🇨🇦 & provincial governments can't plan & implement adequate forest fire control measures. ⁉️Yet millions trust the same governments to change the Earth's climate with excessive taxes & debt?? 🙄Mark Carney - "Climate change is everyone's responsibility, including the 🇺🇸."

@SharonT20519250 Should Adler be removed? Absolutely. Will Adler be removed? Highly unlikely and if anything, he’ll probably get a good boy pat from our Dear Leader for doing such a fine job.

Should he be removed from the Senate? ..or is this a stupid question?
