Vancouver lobbyist shows how not understanding something doesn't prevent someone from having an opinion. I used to think lobbyist types were just gaslighting me but now I thing they're just naturally ridiculous.

It seems PP has gotten his wish, and CBC is now *wrongly* labeled as 'government-funded media'. Meanwhile, BBC, after a fight, is now 'publicly-funded'.CBC should be the same.

PP is waging a dangerous war on public broadcasting in 🇨🇦

You know what Canada needs protection from? Opportunistic politicians who willingly spout disinformation to rage farm.

PP knows CBC is *not* state media, but truth be damned.

. BBC, one of the world's top public service broadcasters, now has a 'government funded' label. But, BBC is funded by a license fee + their editorial & operations are separate from gov.

Elon Musk fails to grasp the basic difference between state media & public media

Only in Ottawa can you find a signed a copy of David Moscrop's 'Too Dumb for Democracy' alongside a signed copy of John Diefenbaker's memoir. As I own both already, happy hunting
