CBC hires ex-Bloc leader Duceppe

Correct, which is why neither DaS, Colpy, nor I would do that.

Right. Then you should recognize that all one has to do to relieve themselves of any claims of bigotry or racism is to simply refute or accept the claim.

There are plenty of times that I could just give in and say I feel "stifled" after a CDNBear whirlwind of venomous multi-reply posts - but the reality is that I'm simply exhausted and give up. I just don't have the stamina for it.

Yep. And you spelled 'appropriately applied label' and 'fact' wrong. Which just shows how you run on opinion. You should try some facts for a change.

If you didn't rely on Op/Ed, and weren't heavily influenced by your biased ideology, it wouldn't take so long. I concede to fact, always, full stop.

I just don't have the stamina for it.

Try cutting down on your consumption of left leaning political dogma.

That might help.

So Gilles had a job and now he doesn't have one.

He still had a better day than Charest.

That's a shame.

I could have had a lot of fun with the right-wing free speechists calling for his termination.

Okay I am going to say this again.

I actually like Duceppe. I don't think he ever wanted to separate.

Is that clear enough for you.

Not that I'm right wing, but I am a "free speechist"....

Why would I have an issue with this?

And that would be my second point.

So do we propose that all potential CBC candidates must pass an ideological litmus test? Maybe we could have her majesty's government of Canada write out the appropriate ideological criteria?

On the one hand, I do support cutting all funding to the CBC. On the other hand, as long as the CBC is receiving funding, it ought to operate at arms length of the government and never should the government be allowed to impose any kind of ideological litmus test on the broadcaster.

When you say state sponsored, are you being specific to that fact that they are merely funded by the Gov't?

Or influenced?
