There’s a lot of vitriol for the CBC’s Cross Country Checkup topic (valid), but the number of personal attacks on the hosts is troubling. And you can disagree with a programming choice but I’m seeing people calling for outright defunding of the CBC. WTF.

CBC will no doubt throw him under the bus in their usual cowardly fashion.

He absolutely deserves the vitriol.
And after his promises of being "sensitive" he's bringing on Kevin O'leary?
Fuck. That.
They softened the headline slightly, but the criticism of all involved from CBC is well earned.
There are a lot of topics they could have covered in relation to this issue but they went Joe Rogan.
He is personally responsible as host and will bear the brunt. This does nothing good for the CBC in this country
Damage not yet done, there is time to concede this is mistake and do better.
If they don’t clue in, a lot of people who have faithfully supported them will be switching sides.
The idea that they will pander to this dangerous fantasy is not just another programming choice.
They need to read the room much more accurately on this issue.
