Barrel Strength

For years you railed against the CBC’s anti-conservative bias, and for as long people would tell you you were dreaming:  that the CBC is objective, unbiassed, and fair. Bullshit! Then comes Frank Graves, CBC pollster, telling the Liberals to wage jihad against those homo-phobic, xeno-phobic western-based Conservatives, those Christians!

In his advice, Mr. Graves could hardly have been more blunt. “I told them that they should invoke a culture war. Cosmopolitanism versus parochialism, secularism versus moralism, Obama versus Palin, tolerance versus racism and homophobia, democracy versus autocracy. If the cranky old men in Alberta don’t like it, too bad. Go south and vote for Palin.”

The Grits haven’t told him whether they favour this approach or not. But they are keen on projecting a more activist agenda for the party.

• opposing the end of the long-gun registry;
• supporting the requirement to make  Supreme Court appointees fully capable of hearing a French-language brief, without translation, thus limiting the Supreme Court to some 10% of the Canadian population or less, most of whom would be French-Canadian.

Ezra Levant is doing an excellent job of showing how many millions Frank Graves has taken out of the Liberal government Hey! for $61 million I can be bought and stay bought, too.

But the CBC! Now you know how they are advised and whom they hire. Like advises like. I know the senior management, personally, and I can assure you they are exactly as you imagine them, true to the values of the organization: statist, elitist, privilege-seeking, and feeding at the taxpayers’ trough. And believe me, to them you are just little people. Little people don’t count, and their values count for less.
