Canada will never be the 51st state. The framing of the question is an "if".
Ian this is NOT an "if" or "when" conversation to have. Why not concentrate on Ontario election which is that week.
That is not the question?!? Don’t we get enough of this from Trump. I have always listened to CBC but this is too much. We are not and will never be the 51st state. It’s not a debate. Do better CBC!
This almost mirrors mine. I’m glad to see we are doing this. It needs to be talked about but not framed in the way they are doing it. It’s so insulting.
Hoping @cbcombud.bsky.social spends a few minutes perusing the comments here and *actually listening* to Canadians with concerns over the CBC and their coverage/framing of issues for once.
"If you want to capture Joe Rogan's Canadian audience of smooth-brained idiots, I'd prefer you did so by selling "Brain Pill" advertisements and smoking blunts in a spacesuit rather than doing anything that legitimizes the threat to our national sovereignty."
The form is completed and I expressed my outrage! Rotten idea to allow MAGATs and Nazis to call in and express the opinions no Canadian wants to hear and disagrees with. Stop the show Ian!
I hadn’t see the original version and WTAF where they thinking- the new one is only slightly better. The CBC needs to call it like it is - unprovoked aggression by an ally and completely unacceptable
Knowing what the original question was taints the new one - the damage is done. And the fact that the home page doesn't acknowledge that they changed the question let alone apologize for the original question.
And having said that, a couple of polls found *some* Cdns were open to 51st state idea
What an egregious question!! It sets Canadians up as a people considering this as some sort of viable option. WTAF!! The question should be how enraged are you by that idiot denigrating our sovereign country! I want the sweatshirt with the Joan Baez logo, “Is he dead yet?”

Maybe paste it directly on to his chest? It’s not supposed to be this hard.
When I visited, just now, it’s
“What do you think of Trump’s comments about …”
Good job flagging this, and good on CBC for listening.
"Our question: What do you think of Trump's comments about Canada becoming the 51st state?"
But still.

The White House is symbolic but we should just burn it all down.
