Can you please be specific as to what he has stated that is a lie? There's a difference between lying and exaggerating (which he does to prove a point, I'll admit) but, like you stated about the CBC being Liberal Supporters or having a liberal bent, once you know that Ezra tends to exaggerate, you can then take that into consideration.

Mr. Levant is no stranger to legal problems spurred on by his mouth. Multiple references in this Huff Post article:

Ezra Levant Loses Libel Case, Owes Khurrum Awan $80,000


But of course, no one but the CBC is allowed to have their bias I guess. Is that what you're saying? What's good for one is not good for the other? Huh! Who Knew?? As usual, in Canada anyway, only one side is allowed to be heard and the other is automatically considered .... well you name it - from being liars, to bigots, to xenophobic to ______ put the name here.
I trust the CBC to be truthful and accurate in what they do report, but I accept their liberal views and usually seek additional sources when researching any particular issue. They often tell only part of a story, but do so with a high degree of integrity.[/quote]


I truly believe the ruling was wrong in so many ways and it really does put free speech at risk when simply anyone can be "offended" and can get lots of money for being so.
Well apparently the courts disagree with you.

Well I see the CBC pushing the narrative of mental imbalance as the cause of latest domestic murder in the Islamic community .There seems to be an awful lot of mentally unstable people in that community . Someone should do a study .

You'll have to be more specific and provide a link as the only murder in Canada I see on their site is the Edmonton nurse one........

Your "different light" appears to be a deliberate twisting of actual facts, selective reporting, and obviously in the case in question, outright lying.

He is not alone.The left wing church of hate does the exact same thing.

Hmmm...sorry to put you on the spot but it would not surprise me one bit, if I found a comment like this describing your posts someday.

You seem to want to make this a right/left argument, when it is in my mind, an ethical/unethical argument that knows no political boundaries.

Levant has a right to his opinions, but the methods he uses to deliver them, and his ultimate motivation for doing so are far from ethical. That's my complaint.

I said....

Silly Trumpites think people care about their idiot ideas.

Why don't you make yourself useful and explain why giving millions to Carrier is completely different from giving millions to Bombardier.

Social conservatives boil everything done to left/right....Which is kinda funny because they don't completely understand the concept
