A caller had to shame CBC/NPR to remind them that this whole discussion is about an ACT OF WAR
Thanks god to that caller who reminded CBC/NPR that 90% of Canadians oppose this idea, and that this is the threat of territorial annexation, which is a violation of international law
I had to turn it off as soon as Ian mentioned Kevin's name. Framed it as let's speak to a guy who knows what Trump is thinking. Seriously??!! Trump lies to everybody, but not to his pal Kevin? Please!!
It’s just bewildering that they’re giving airtime to this as if it’s a proposal to eliminate daylight savings time or something.
I think it reveals so much about mainstream media—it is not representing the interests of the general public.
The entire program was editorial bankruptcy. Were I the head of news or content I’d put the show on pause for a few weeks and have a few come-to-Jesus forensic round tables to rethink decision-making.
What were Ian and his producers thinking, closing with the unchecked bullshit lies of O’Leary?
"CBC News Simulcast of Canada as the 51st State Proposal
C-SPAN simulcasts a special Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) production on President Trump's proposal to make Canada the 51st state. ..." Proposal???? should read THREAT
On average (according to 2022 stats) it was approx $1200/person per month. $14k/year. PER PERSON. so family of four, $4600/m or $56k/year. USD. HOW WOULD ANYONE EXCEPT THE 1% AFFORD THIS
Most people with moderate-high incomes and a couple of dependents pay far less than that in taxes, and in fact have negative tax when child and other tax benefits, credits and generous deductions are taken into consideration.
Yeah, that guy that doesn't seem to understand that he lives in one of the top 3 richest oil fields in the world and the Premier of the province it is located in is the one screwing up his healthcare and she fully supports the brand of politics that he wishes to join.
I stopped listening before this caller because I was afraid I might inadvertently hear Kevin O’Leary speak. Sorry/not sorry I didn’t hear the tar sands worker who thinks it would be a good idea.
I'm beginning to think that the news that I read about Musk/Trump illegally dismantling the US federal government isn't something that CBC/NPR hosts are reading
Question: Has there ever been an episode of Sharks/Dragons when Kevin - "anger doesn't work in negotiations" - O'Leary hasn't made sport of yelling at / belittling entrepreneurs?
We actually do have federal leadership. We have a prime minister & minority govt. And yes, there is a leadership race for leader of the LPC. The govt hasn't "fallen"
The O'Leary platforming is just a naked opportunity for O'Leary to play up Trump's disinformation that we're a failed state
They had to put O’Leary last or many would have called him out on air for being a murderous grifter.
PS Kev, the floating Canadian dollar is our most important piece of economic shielding, pegging to US monetary policy would be a disaster for jobs up here.

actively avoiding cbc today.
Absolute traitorous madness.

He's an ace.

How do ppl not know this?
Trump said the law doesn't apply to him

This show is such an embarrassing mess
