I don’t know how the brain trust over at CBC thought this would look good on them.
The broadcaster most thought of as being in the pocket of Justin Trudeau and the Liberals has decided to sue the Conservative Party with less than two weeks to go before voting day.
The lawsuit — which claims copyright infringement — is not only bad optics, its a bad decision from a legal point of view.
CBC is wrong on the law here.
(CBC is seeking a new avenue to attack Conservatives since their discrimination and outright censorship of any Conservative view during the 2015 election was exposed!!!!!!!!)
The statement of claim filed in court tries to argue that CBC’s copyright has been infringed because the Conservatives used several short clips, totalling 17 seconds, as part of an online video questioning the judgement of Justin Trudeau.
The filing also claims the moral rights of CBC staffers Rosemary Barton and J.P. Tasker were violated.
(Yes- “moral rights” - this is the stuff of Human Rights Kangaroo Courts with their biased concern for HURT FEELINGS rather than honest legal arguments!!!!! CBC HOGS are outraged that their commentary might actually aid Conservatives in ANY WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
This is nothing more than an attempt by CBC to bully the Conservatives because they don’t like that news clips have been used in ads even though it is completely allowable under the “fair dealing” provisions within the Copyright Act.
(LIE-berals deliberately ABUSED this “fair dealing” law in their 2015 censorship of Conservative views and comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist posted several online criticisms of CBC’s move including claiming that the broadcaster has “an unfortunate history of overzealous use of copyright to stifle freedom of expression.”
“CBC obviously has rights as the copyright owner in its broadcast, but those rights are constrained by limitations and exceptions under the law that allow for use of its work without the need for further permission,” Geist said.
(Fair use policy -EXEMPTS political comment from the usual copy right law so that public discussion of IMPORTANT issues can be detailed and inclusive!!!!!!!)
This is a point that was hammered home when the election officially started in a document that Elections Canada distributed to all the parties and broadcasters. It lays out the rules for airtime and advertising during the campaign and is pretty blunt on this point.
“If a news clip is relatively short and is not a substantial part of the audiovisual work from which it was taken, the broadcast of the news clip in a political ad would not infringe the copyright of the owner of the audiovisual work and would not require the permission of that owner to be broadcast,” the Elections Canada Broadcasting Guidelines state.
(So even our LIE-beral loving Election Canada HOGS KNOW that CBC IS OUT OF LINE!! After all - 17 SECONDS of video is “relatively short” as per the LEGAL guide lines!!!!! CBC HOGS are using OUR TAX MONEY to openly HARASS Conservatives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Of course CBC knows all this and in the past has even been warned against such action by their own legal and regulatory team.
(But making major efforts to save Our idiot Boy gives CBC HOGS easy access to that six hundred million dollar LIE-beral trusted media SLUSH FUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Ahead of the 2015 election, the head of news at CBC, Jennifer McGuire, sought to ban any political ads that used material from any news broadcaster after the Conservatives used a CBC clip of Trudeau excusing the Boston bomber terrorists as “someone who feels completely excluded.”
(Yes- Our idiot Boy really must STOP excusing Muslim Terrorists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
“Under existing policies, the mere existence of broadcaster material is not grounds for rejection of an advertisement,” wrote Steven Guiton, CBC’s Chief Regulatory Officer.
Now McGuire, who is really behind the lawsuit as proven by her own statements released Saturday, is at it again.
The worry of CBC is that the public may not think they are impartial if these clips are used in a political ad. The reality is that CBC looks very biased as a result of this lawsuit.
Surely the folks over at CBC know that most Conservatives already view them as a pro-Liberal news organization and yet here they are once again going to court over this issue.
(LIE-berals have already let us know- thanks to big mouth Climate Barbie McKenna that they believe repeating lies often enough makes them believable!!!)
They know they are offside of the law. They know they are offside what their own executives have told them. So why do this?
It looks like they want to protect their favoured leader, Justin Trudeau.
(Yeah - CBC HOGS are DEVOTED to that LIE-beral sponsored GRAVY TRAIN!
And CBC is TERRIFIED that a Conservative govt might just CHOP CBC HOG ENTITLEMENTS!! After all not only are CBC HOGS total BIGOTS- promoting crap about systemic racism and white privilege - they are also gravy train riders who ROUTINELY DEMAND MORE -regardless of what they deserve or what we can afford!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(It is time to rein in CBC HOGS who have been alllowed to act like the Cdn version of Pravda - the official source of Soviet Socialist propaganda - for far to long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
