00:17:13.800give or take that's how many employees the cbc has in tv and radio from coast to coast
00:17:22.800soon to be far less than that they're going to be releasing 10 of their staff it looks like here
00:17:29.800Apparently, the lion's share of a hundred million dollar media payout from Google is not enough to keep the CBC from, you know, laying people off.
00:17:39.580Reports from multiple sources, including Le Journal de Montreal, six to seven hundred people are going to get the axe.
00:17:46.880Employees are scheduled. Hang on just a second here.
00:17:51.780Employees are scheduled to have a virtual meeting with Catherine Tate, the CEO.
00:17:55.260So that was today or supposed to be today to discuss the organization's financial changes and looming cuts.
00:18:01.740These anticipated layoffs affecting both English and French mark a significant reduction in CBC Radio Canada's workforce with over 300 positions in Quebec on the line.
00:18:12.580Quebec alone. Wow. Oh, by the way, that's Rufa Supramania there.
00:18:17.000She testified in U.S. Congress last week. You can find that on her X page.
00:18:21.080and she did a fantastic job of warning the americans what's yet to come from a canadian
00:18:26.760journalist's point of view i thought it was great ottawa recently reached a deal with google which
00:18:32.160promises to pay i hate this expression legacy media it's marxist marxist corporate media
00:18:37.680100 million dollars a year as reported by true north cbc would be the largest beneficiary
00:18:43.260of c18 that's the online uh the online or streaming bill yeah the public broadcaster
00:18:51.040is poised to receive up to a third of this fund as it employs a significant share of journalists
00:18:56.320quote unquote within canada katherine tate sent an email to all employees on november 29th the
00:19:03.160email said she wanted to provide an update on the financial challenges and give an update on
00:19:08.660what's coming in the next few months you know having been in radio for a very long time myself
00:19:14.460I always found it funny when the company would kind of hint oh by the way there's big layoffs
00:19:20.180coming just so you know and you might be one of them so you would be in years later years I would
00:19:25.340sit there and go all right well if they can me they can me there's nothing I could do but some
00:19:29.440of the younger people would be stressing and sweating oh my god what am I gonna do how am I
00:19:34.480gonna pay my rent i can't afford to eat say look man if it happens it happens and if it doesn't
00:19:43.740you're good to go for another six months until it happens again that's just the way large media
00:19:50.100operates it's always been like that last november tate announced that difficult efforts would be
00:19:56.600required to reduce cbc's expenses by a hundred million over the next three years job cuts were
00:20:02.720not ruled out and here they come you know you don't often see me gleeful over somebody losing
00:20:08.720their job but in this case because they're unionized four different unions are in play
00:20:17.040in the cbc so it's going to be the young wokesters the young ones who ascribe to the
00:20:24.000critical race theory and all that crap they're going to be the ones on the street not the0.87
00:20:29.120grizzled veterans who have been in the trenches for the past 20, 25 years. And that makes me laugh.0.51
00:20:35.700During the same month, November last year, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation said the CBC bonuses
00:20:41.580and raises had cost taxpayers $156 million since 2015. At a meeting with CBC employees in October,
00:20:50.060a hiring freeze was announced. While specifics of the meeting remain confidential, it's clear
00:20:54.800that job cuts are a significant component
00:31:01.860Public health officials also got quite a bit of airtime,
00:31:04.220and sometimes we were approached not critically enough
00:31:07.640or questioned about the policies they were enacting.
00:31:10.140The point is, there was a clear decision to devote resources and airtime it took to treat the pandemic with the urgency and gravity it called for, and we've seen no vision or leadership of that kind from the CBC when it comes to the climate crisis.
00:31:25.060one of the suggested solutions was for marxist corporate media companies to feed canadians with
00:31:34.340a daily climate emergency report in the same way that news companies did a daily covet 19 update at
00:31:41.260the height of the pandemic well they did more than a daily a covet 19 update there was a clicker in
00:31:46.280the corner of their screen remember cases we saw broadcasters do this during covet and we know
00:31:53.940they're capable of a pivot like this, said SFU-SERI research and engagement lead Tara Mahoney.
00:32:02.640Klein, who writes for the National Observer and authored the book A Good War,
00:32:06.440mobilizing Canada for the climate emergency, called on public broadcasters to make the threat
00:32:10.920real for Canadians by engaging in wartime coverage of the fight against climate change.
00:32:18.100Really, in the war, what was journalism for except to awaken the world to the catastrophe
00:32:23.480coming ahead which sort of feels apt for the present said client all right that's all a bunch0.95
00:32:27.940of garbage as we know these are all climate zealots and critical race theory advocates
00:32:33.700probably very young people who don't know any better let's go back to this project veritas0.96
00:32:41.260story from a couple of years ago when what's his name was still with them james
00:32:46.680o'keefe who's now off on his own this is charlie chester who is a technical director at cnn
00:32:55.700talking about what their latest thing on cnn is going to be after the
00:33:01.380covid thing is over because you know covid fatigue and all
00:33:04.140they're gonna latch on to it i think there's just like a covid fatigue so like whenever
00:33:12.880a new story comes up they're going to latch on to it they've already announced in her office that
00:33:19.220once the public is will be open to it we're going to start focusing mainly on climate
00:33:27.420climate like global warming and like that's going to be our next like
00:45:16.060al jabber made the comments in ill-tempered responses to questions from mary robinson
00:45:22.460the chair of the elders group and a former u.n special envoy for climate change during a live
00:45:27.980online event november 22nd as well as running cop 28 in dubai al jabber is also the chief
00:45:33.740executive of the united arab emirates state oil company adnock which many observers see
00:45:38.320as a serious conflict of interest more than 100 companies already support a phase out of fossil
00:45:48.380fuels and whether the final cop 28 agreement calls for this or uses weaker language such as phase
00:45:54.900down is one of the most fiercely fought issues at the summit and may be the key detriment
00:46:00.560a determinant of its success deep and rapid cuts are needed to bring fossil fuel emissions to zero
00:46:07.560and limit fast worsening climate impacts that's what this whole thing is about over there that's
00:46:22.220what's going on right now and some of that stuff i played for you on the show last week
00:46:27.840regarding this particular event that is happening in dubai right now was a warning shot across the
00:46:35.180bow to all of us that very soon we will be eating bugs and very soon we will not have any property
00:46:46.280rights because it's not good for the climate you see let's continue on just a little bit more with
00:46:56.520this article before i get rid of it algebra spoke with robinson at a she changes climate event
00:47:04.560Robinson said, we're in an absolute crisis that's hurting women and children more than anyone.
00:47:10.620And once again, where's the correlation there? And it's because we have not yet committed to
00:47:15.280phasing out fossil fuel. They never explain. That's the one decision that COP28 can take,
00:47:20.700and in many ways, because you're head of ADNOC, you could actually take it with more credibility.
00:47:26.780Al Jaber said, I accepted to come to this meeting to have a sober and mature conversation.
00:47:32.680I'm not in any way signing up to any discussion that's alarmist.
00:47:36.260There is no science out there or no scenario out there that says the phase out of fossil fuel is what's going to achieve 1.5 degrees Celsius.
00:47:50.140Robinson challenged him further, saying, I read that your company is investing in a lot more fossil fuel in the future.
00:47:56.080He responded, you're reading your own media, which is biased and wrong.
00:47:59.680I am telling you I am the man in charge
00:56:53.180We've been secretly contacted by intelligent beings from other planets.
00:56:56.540Well, even the U.S. government is now starting to spout that nonsense.
00:56:59.900Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin did not land on the moon in 1969 again who knows there's compelling
00:57:08.620evidence to show they didn't I'm just saying they may sound like bizarre statements but a new poll
00:57:15.820suggests a sizable number of Canadians believe in these and other conspiracy theories about five
00:57:21.040percent of us are flat earthers the poll says 11 say they think the lunar landings were a hoax
00:57:28.500and one-third of respondents say they think evidence that aliens have been in contact with
00:57:32.900our planet is being hidden from the public. Leger did this, and they surveyed 1,529 Canadian adults
00:57:39.880and 1,011 Americans between November 24th and 26th. In all, 79% of Canadians and 84% of Americans
00:57:50.860surveyed reported believing in at least one of a list of conspiracy theories mentioned in the poll
00:57:56.020in both countries conservative leaning voters were likely more likely to believe in conspiracies
00:58:01.540and of course a liberal would say that so my response to him on x was simply this
00:58:09.800two weeks to flatten the curve conspiracy theory
00:58:13.880vaccines safe and effective conspiracy theory
00:58:26.020You're fudging data. It's been proven. Or is that still a conspiracy theory?
00:58:32.580It's all a game of politics and control. That's all it is. Back to it here. Only a few more stories
00:58:39.860left. This is kind of a horrifying story. I don't like involving kids in any of this stuff on either
00:58:45.680side because kids aren't able to decide for themselves many things. That's why they're kids.
00:58:53.380That's why we have to fight for them and we have to care for them because they don't know yet.
00:58:59.860That's why they shouldn't be able to decide for themselves whether they want irreversible gender-affirming care or a concocted gene therapy.
00:59:12.900so parents of this nine-year-old kansas city chiefs fan are now threatening to sue
00:59:20.420deadspin over the blackface claim you guys may have heard this story charlie kirk was all over
00:59:26.080this uh last week and there's jesse waters on fox with the kid this kid went to a chiefs game
00:59:33.320with the full headdress on wearing face paint one side black one side red those are the chiefs colors
00:59:39.000this writer from deadspin a black writer from deadspin got all over and said this kid should
00:59:46.040be admonished for his use of blackface in a chiefs game it's unacceptable it's racism
01:11:31.460So here's what I have to say to anybody who has skeletons like that in their closet.
01:11:40.140Before you reach out on social media or whatever media you have access to to try and trash somebody else, make sure your life is completely in order first.
