Yeah right, a staff shortage. I will believe the CBC is short of staff when Mars is fully colonized and its possible to take day trips to Pluto. Lets be truthful - the CBC is racist and bigoted against Christians and Jews. Period.

I have an idea for a real staff shortage at the CBC.

GET RID OF IT Completely.

Staffing shortage? More like a spine shortage.

Apparently CBC is saying not to rely on them for current news. Personally I don’t rely on them for anything.

Perfectly accurate summary John,

It's been a long stretch of time since I looked to the CBC for any news, let alone current events. They are completely irrelevant.

Can someone remind me why are they getting billions of taxpayer money?

But the CBC still has time to cover the pro-Palestinian protests even if there are only a few wanna-be terrorists raging in our streets. The only solution? Defund the CBC, and let it depend upon its supporters to fund its radical-left garbage.

I don't see how this differs from any other CBC story. Throughout their history, they were often the sole news outlet, as they broadcast news over the air to rabbit ear TVs. The issue with being the sole source is that a network has two choices: to operate with integrity and honesty or to promote a specific agenda. Sadly, the CBC has always spun an agenda based on vast quantities of research they conduct on what produces an emotional response in the public. If the media outlet would seek to be neutral in their reporting rather than to seek controversy, I am sure their viewership would grow, but an empty barrel makes the most noise. It is certainly why I look to substance in news reporting, such as Juno and Sam Cooper.

CBC execs will tell us though that just a few billion more in subsidies will solve the staffing shortage. Look for that in the so-called "budget" coming in November.

Oh, that is rich! The billions of taxpayer dollars is not enough to hire staff?

That's not for operations, that is for exorbitant executive bonuses only.

Unbelievable even from the CBC to make an excuse like this. The dog ate my homework excuse has just rose to the creditable level. By the way who were these two people who were arrested, I will bet they were “homegrown” citizens of a type favoured by the CBC

Meanwhile the local boots on the ground will give a more well-rounded report, as well as other less-biased journalists. Defund the CBC, they are just a little too unfair and unbalanced.

160 Christian churches burned in the last 4 years is a story the CBC can sit on indefinitely. How long would they sit on the story of 1 mosque torched by an arsonist, or a synagogue, for that matter? Next day coverage - guaranteed. How about a report of a 'possible' unmarked grave at a residential school? Same day coverage - guaranteed.

The CBC is an amplifier of Fabian Society-spun narratives that promote the globalist agenda. All lies, all the time.

CBC is the current Liberal Party's version of the old Soviet Communist Party's IZVESTIA.

Given that the CBC receives over a billion dollars of taxpayers money per year, and that it is now revealed by whistle blowers that the CBC bans conservative speakers on its "media" platform to express their views, we know that the CBC is lying, again to the public.......

Welcome to our world as Canadian Jews. CBC by far is the most vicious inciter of hate and violence towards Jews in Canada and the fact that PM Carney, gave them a reward of over a billion dollars extra for their ideological reporting and acting as the Liberal Propaganda machine, tells you all you have to know. These type of haters never stop with the Jews. We are just the canary in the coal mine. CBC is much, much worse than BBC, if that is possible, as BBC admits they lie when caught but the CBC just gets more money from the Liberal party who are trying to outdo the NDP in their Progressive/ Socialist ideological hatred towards anyone or any group who does not bow down to their god, Progressivism. And that means Christians who are not on their bandwagon as well as Jews.

It is interesting that there are enough staff to cover every “pride” flag raising and parade or the even more important cat stuck in a tree stories. CBC condones the attacks on Christian churches and beliefs. Even us agnostics are appalled.

Yeah right. So 2 vehicle thefts are more important than an historic church burning. Got it!

How could there be a staffing shortage when Carney has been sending them millions?!
