What I find funny as hell is groups like the CBC who cloak themselves in the flag and trumpet continuously about “Canadian Values”. Most of the times I switch to CBC-AM, Peter Gzowski is interviewing some American students about their election campaign, or The National is doing something else on America. Much of their programming is American reality programs… Get the idea?
What’s most interesting is the subtle spin on it, like we’re watching an inferior peoples, like some exotic tribe that’s just been discovered. “Look how their ways are so strange and curious” . It’s the CBC trying to define Americans for us, based on their definitions.
“Their like this, and their like that. This is what they say but this is what they really believe and it‘s strange and dangerous so don‘t listen or trust them.” Follow that up with an assault on their “US Style” media so Canadians won’t trust or listen to Americans talk for themselves and will only believe that the CBC or it’s ilk are correct. After listening and believing this crap for years, you’ve become anti-American because the CBC feels that you can’t have “Canadian values” without anti-American feelings.

The CBC, like many other Canadian institutions, both government and non government, has refocused on its self-identification since 9/11 and the beginnings of the American War on Terror. The war has had some issues which, rightly or wrongly, have come to reflect poorly on the current American administration thereby causing the US to lose some of its prestige in the current world opinion. Being so close to the US has forced us to confront these opinions, and as so often in the past, the easiest way is to redefine our relationship highlighting and emphasizing our few differences as opposed to our many similarities.

That`s the best you`ve got, eh, Johnny? 
Five years is, in the grand scheme of things, nothing, and the article remains relevant today.
Here's an excerpt from another gooder:
Oh those Cons: What a pathetic bunch of sellouts.

Here's an excerpt from another gooder:
$1:
In the House of Commons, the Canadian Alliance Party introduced a motion in the House of Commons which called for Canada to apologize for not joining the war against Iraq. The motion was easily defeated and the Prime Minister said such a statement would put a “chill” on free speech in Canada (qtd. in AP, 9 Apr. 2003).
Link to full article. Oh those Cons: What a pathetic bunch of sellouts. What more can be said? You posted an article 5 years old, that's fucking pathetic then so are you..
The Liberals were and still are the pathetic bunch of sellouts..

The best discription of most CBC talk shows is a recycled joke about the CBC which had someone from the left, the far left and Lenin. There are numerous stories in the blogosphere of how the CBC will discorage folks who they don't agree with from getting on their shows. They need to realize that there is more than one party in Canada.
So Ride, when Susan Ormiston interviewed David Frum on CBC Sunday a few weeks ago, was he there as someone from the left, the far left or Lenin?

Incapable of an intelligent response?
Posting an article 5 years old? Your a Fucking Idiot!
And I'm sure you are more capable (then again maybe not) of making a more intelligent response. Why don't you make a more cohesive argument about it instead of telling him like a five year old he's a "fucking idiot!"...Great response there.
It may be five years old but it still has merit and probably always will with crap responses like this.

Sorry, Fifeboy. I missed that one. I guess I'll have to do the podcast thing.
Cut me some slack there, Shadow.
You didn't even know there was a CBC-AM.

You said you were listening to a dead man every weekend.
So cut slack for what?
And yes, I did not know CBC was on AM.
( not quite like saying you ahve been listening to a man discussing the current American presidential race, a man who has been dead since before the last presidential race
And anyway, who listens to AM radio anymore?

Yawn. They can mimic the names but, unlike the CBC, the BBC realized it was drinking it's own bathwater. The BBC is coming to terms with it's political bias. When is the CBC going to do that?
By the way, what happened to CBCwatch?
