Ezra said lots of things in the clip. Some were right and some were wrong

May we please have a full answer without the application of rubber trucheons??? I mean, I know you love to be coaxed, but to be blunt, the sex ain't worth it.

Exactly where do you think Ezra is wrong??

It is a 15 minute video so I'm not going to bother citing every one of his faux pas but, generally speaking, he can't seem to wrap his head around the concept of context. as Karrie so eloquently put it

Is there not a difference between comedians making cracks about stereotypes, versus people in the position of authority doing it? I frankly find jokes about assault and crime less distasteful coming from a comedian than a police officer.
I understand people on both fringes have difficulty with context. Most of us, though, understand that this....

...would not be acceptable either if you got up at your gun-loving club Christmas party and said exactly the same thing.

Ruled by your emotions.

Interesting.

In the Netherlands, Santa's helper is known as Zwarte Piet (Black Pete). Here some Dutch people dress up as him:



Being PC isn't a liberal vs. conservative thing, its a North American thing.

Oh I think it is also rampant in the EU as well.

Northern Ontario,
When you have children, if you ever become mature enough to sire some of your own, I hope they are just like you when you get old.

is there truth to Ezra's claim that the CBC waited for Remeberance Day to release this or does Quebcor not submit delicate matters like this to their legal team first and just airs things willy-nilly without fact checking and legal bases covered?

It's no surprise that it was done after the US election. It may be a shock to Ezra but not every story is reported on. US election news was happening "now". It only makes sense that that would dominate and this story would be brought out during a slow news time.

Ezra is very "creative" to say the least and yes news stories are juggled around by priority. This one though I'll guaranteed was held up by legal issues and investigations being completed before made public.

Would the cops catch any dope dealers if they said they were going to bust somebody before they bust somebody?
