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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
LILLEY: Trudeau drops, Singh bounces as voters turn from Liberals
LILLEY: The coalition we can't afford
Of course CBC knows all this and in the past has even been warned against such action by their own legal and regulatory team.
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.”
“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.
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.

KINSELLA: CBC suit against Tories more of a political suicide note than a legal action

A reasonable apprehension of bias — that’s what we learned to call it in law school.
It’s the legal standard, in Canadian law, for disqualifying a judge or decision-maker in an administrative tribunal.
Bias is prejudice, mostly. It’s an unreasonably hostile feeling or opinion about a person or group. In law, we learned, it can be “real” or “perceived.” That is, it doesn’t have to actually happen right out in the open — the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled it can even happen when a decision-maker “might have” acted unfairly.
That’s when a judge or a decision-maker can be disqualified, and kicked off a case. But is a reporter a decision-maker, in the legal sense?
It’s not a question reserved for legal scholars, hidden away behind stacks of musty old volumes in a law library somewhere. On Friday, it became a question for the rest of us, too.
On Friday, the CBC — along with their newsreader Rosemary Barton, and Parliamentary Bureau reporter Jean-Paul Tasker — sued the Conservative Party of Canada. For real.
Their complaint: on the Internet, the Tories used 17 seconds of CBC video. About the Tories.
Look at what Trudeau has done #elxn43 pic.twitter.com/PNUJY0A9S5
— Pundit Class (@punditclass) October 6, 2019
As the Conservative Party wrote in a release: “The 17 seconds of CBC clips in the video included (Postmedia columnist) Andrew Coyne highlighting how Justin Trudeau broke the law, Justin Trudeau telling a Canadian war veteran that he is ‘asking for more than we can give right now,’ and one CBC reporter questioning why the Liberals provided Loblaws with $12 million in tax dollars to install new refrigerators.”
When this writer heard about the lawsuit, it sounded like a joke, or an Internet meme. It was farcical.
Now, Conservatives have had a long (and sometimes also unreasonable) dislike for the CBC. Voters who identify themselves as conservative are acutely focused on media bias, particularly as it exists at progressive media organizations like CBC.
LILLEY: CBC lawsuit against Conservatives looks like move to protect Trudeau Liberals
LILLEY: Trudeau drops, Singh bounces as voters turn from Liberals
A number of Rasmussen polls conducted in the U.S. during the 2012 and 2016 presidential races found that two out of three conservative voters — and sometimes as many as three out of four — felt the media give progressive politicians a much easier time. They believe media bias is real.
So, when Justin Trudeau confidante Gerald Butts was recently photographed alone at an intimate dinner with Huffington Post Ottawa bureau chief Althia Raj — an English leaders’ debate moderator — Conservatives were apoplectic. It showed an inappropriate bias, they said.
This is not good: @CBC filed a copyright lawsuit against @CPC_HQ yesterday, resulting in removal of a campaign video and tweets. The claim even covered using excerpts from the leaders’ debate on their Twitter feed. Details and the claim at https://t.co/GruheeztpL #Elxn43 pic.twitter.com/OrO4tF4vrZ
— Michael Geist (@mgeist) October 11, 2019
Maybe so. Butts, for his part, was doing what politicos always do — he was trying to influence the media. Fine.
Raj, however, was doing something undeniably foolish. She was meeting privately with the most powerful unelected Liberal just before a critical debate, and thereby creating a perception that she would treat the Liberal leader differently.
Because Raj’s commentary has always been characterized by a pro-Trudeau tilt, a perception of bias was not unreasonable. At all.
In the case of the CBC lawsuit against the Conservative Party, however, the bias is not merely perceived. It is real. And it inarguably disqualifies Barton, Tasker and the CBC — all important decision-makers about the information millions of Canadians receive during this election — from broadcasting anything about the Conservative Party.
Conservatives say in their latest mailer that they should be allowed to take short clips of CBC news footage and use them for political ads.
And they're right. pic.twitter.com/kmqaeI58BQ
— Jesse Brown (@JesseBrown) October 11, 2019
Truly: how can Andrew Scheer, or any of his candidates, now believe that the CBC will treat them fairly in news coverage? More importantly, how can the CBC’s viewers and listeners now believe that what they are seeing and hearing is free of bias?
After all, how the CBC handles a news story — how it writes it, how it edits it, how it headlines and promotes it — can destroy a political career in short order.
The CBC has said it was the “driver” behind the lawsuit, not the journalists. And it plans to remove the journalists from the lawsuit.
Whether they intended it or not, the CBC and Barton and Tasker have provided clear evidence of an appalling bias. They have shown they are utterly disinterested in being fair.
That lawsuit wasn’t a legal action. Given that the Tories now may win the election, it was a political suicide note.

GOLDSTEIN: The fiscal follies of Justin Trudeau
Lorrie Goldstein

Updated:
October 12, 2019 5:00 PM EDT

While the fiscal plans of all the political parties heading into the Oct. 21 election should be taken with a huge grain of salt, criticism by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of the financial platforms of his opponents has zero credibility.
Here’s why:
In his 2015 campaign platform, Trudeau said the federal government would record three years of “modest deficits” under his leadership.
That would be followed by a balanced budget in the fourth year, which Trudeau specifically and emphatically promised Canadians he would achieve during the 2015 leaders’ debate on the economy.
Trudeau’s 2015 predictions were:
A $9.9 billion deficit in 2016-17;
A $9.5 billion deficit in 2017-18;
A $5.7 billion deficit in 2018-19;
A $1 billion surplus in 2019-20.
Trudeau’s actual numbers have been:
A $19 billion deficit in 2016-17;
A $19 billion deficit in 2017-18;
A $14 billion deficit in 2018-19;
A (projected) $19.8 billion deficit in 2019-20.
In 2015, Trudeau promised his accumulated deficits over the next four years would be $24.1 billion.
His actual record puts them at $71.8 billion.
Trudeau missed his combined deficit target of $24.1 billion by $47.4 billion ($71.8 billion – $24.1 billion), or by almost 200%.
So that’s what happened in the past.
Now let’s look ahead to what Trudeau is predicting for his next four years in power if he wins the election.
In his March 19, 2019 budget, the last before the federal election, Trudeau projected the following deficits, with no return to the balanced budget he promised and failed to deliver for this year.
According to his 2019 federal budget, Trudeau projected:
A $19.7 billion deficit in 2020-21;
A $14.8 billion deficit in 2021-22;
A $12.1 billion deficit in 2022-23;
A $9.8 billion deficit in 2023-24.
LILLEY: CBC lawsuit against Conservatives looks like move to protect Trudeau Liberals
BONOKOSKI: Close calls in politics about the win, not the boxscore
GOLDSTEIN: Singh's a rock star, but will it save the NDP?
On September 29 — a bit more than six months after Trudeau delivered his March budget — Trudeau released his 2019 election platform.
Trudeau is now projecting:
A $27.4 billion deficit for 2020-21;
A $23.7 billion deficit for 2021-22;
A $21.8 billion deficit for 2022-23;
A $21 billion deficit for 2023-24.
That means that in his March budget, the last before the Oct. 21 election, Trudeau predicted his accumulated deficits would be $56.4 billion over the next four years.
Now, six months later, he’s predicting his accumulated deficits will be $93.9 billion over the next four years, or $37.5 billion higher ($93.9 billion – $56.4 billion) than he predicted in March.
That means he’s already 66% over his March budget predictions.
The debt-to-GDP ratio is an important measure of the government’s overall economic health, the lower the better.
The good news it that Canada has the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7.
The bad news is that under Trudeau it’s heading in the wrong way.
In his 2015 campaign platform, Trudeau promised that by 2019-20, Canada’s debt-to-GDP ratio would be 27%.
His March, 2019 budget put it at 30.7%, and he said that by 2023-24 it would drop to 28.6%.
Six months later, Trudeau’s election platform says it will be 30.2% in 2023-24.
Clearly, Trudeau’s fiscal platforms are just numbers on a page that don’t mean anything.
In fairness, that’s true of all the so-called “costed” fiscal plans of all parties these days.
But for Trudeau to criticize the platforms of any of his opponents, based on his own dismal record, should not be taken seriously.

Andrew Scheer Was Asked To Name One Policy That Shows He Supports Women’s Rights. He Couldn’t Name Any.

Andrew Scheer swings and misses on women’s rights


After claiming he had hit a “home run” following this week’s French leaders’ debate, Conservative leader Andrew Scheer swung and missed when a reporter tossed a softball question his way.
Scheer, who was repeatedly grilled over his positions on abortion during the French debate, spent most of the day Thursday fielding questions from reporters about his positions on abortion.
One generous reporter decided to cut Scheer some slack and ask an easy question: “Can you point to a single policy in your platform that you believe shows that you do support women’s rights?”
Apparently that was a tricky question for Scheer.
“All our policies are centred around treating all Canadians equally and supporting the rights of women,” Scheer said, without naming one policy.
“We will continue to make sure that women are treated fairly and equally in this country and that their rights are always protected.”

Tax cut for the rich shows Scheer is a Harper mini-me

Andrew Scheer's tax cuts for the rich echo years of failed economic policy under Harper.

The election is barely a week old and Canadians are already getting a good picture of what Conservative leader Andrew Scheer would offer as Prime Minister: little more than a policy mini-me of former Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Harper, who once said that he didn’t think there were any good taxes, had a simple answer to just about any social, environmental or economic issue outside of his priorities: give it a tax cut, usually followed by program spending cuts. Pressure to support the arts? Give artists a tax cut. Want to encourage children’s fitness? Introduce a tax credit. Support for public transit? Another tax credit. Encourage volunteerism? Yes, a tax credit for that, too.
