I think I missed it. Which headline is sexist?fukking slimy slippery cbc
CBC pulls sexist Christine Elliott headline but doesn’t apologise or explain:
Ummmm, sorry but no, sexist headline is a bit of a stretch.
People can hate the CBC or The Sun all they want to, they can mistrust and loathe the Liberals or the Conservatives all they want to, but when I continually see, from both sides of the political spectrum (and I do see it, a lot) pot shots based on what a female politician looks like as a consistent criticism (as compared to their male counterparts who remain unscathed in that particular area of judgement), that, my friends, is sexist.
Identifying someone in relation to their significantly more well known and recently deceased spouse doesn't really measure up in comparison, in my point of view.

I'm thinking Loctus actually enjoys the CBC and was just showing us how foolish the critics of them can be.
That said, I heard Ms Elliott yesterday responding to a question which was ; "people say you are to nice to lead the Conservative Party'' to which she replied "I can be really mean when I want to be".
My question is; Who is she going to be 'really mean too' Fellow CONS or the people of Ontario if she got elected.....?
If I was in another Party I would find that sound clip of her saying that and keep it for 4 years in case she wins..........

CBC critics will be happy to hear this.........
The CBC’s enemies are not only circling their prey from the outside, including the Conservative government with its unrelenting budget cuts. Its enemies are also working from within. The CBC has a compliant board of directors overwhelmingly stacked with Conservative party donors and a president, also conservative, who appears ready to implement any budget cut in virtual silence.
Let us not be fooled. In the dead of night across this country, cut by cut, in small towns and large cities, in newsrooms and documentary edit suites, Canada’s public broadcaster is being destroyed.
For whether Lacroix sought the role or not, he has turned out to be Lord Harper's velvet gloved executioner.
For only an executioner could make eliminating the jobs of so many employees sound like a positive move.
And no doubt after the dinner was over, he gave the head waiter, CBC President Hubert Lacroix, a generous tip for services rendered.
And Lacroix seems to have forgotten two very important things:
One, the Con regime is not the CBC shareholder.
“Lacroix should resign. He is helping Stephen Harper drive CBC into the ground. Today he told CBC’s employees that the government is the shareholder. That’s false: all Canadian are shareholders,” said Friends spokesperson Ian Morrison.
He is helping Harper make the CBC smaller and weaker.
And two, the CBC is not a business, it's a service.
