Right after the French debate, the CBC journalists on tv, complained of the questions during the SCRUM (post-debate news conference), and particularly targeted REBEL NEWS. I can't find a segment on youtube that shows the CBC discussing it.
Barton and Cochran were quite obviously upset. They were also targetting the elections committee for having given Rebel News the same privilege given to them.

The next day, Cochran had the elections committee chief Comier on tv. I can't find the footage of said interview - but there was obvious tension between them. A short clip of it is shown by Rebel News (to be provided later).

Imho - the CBC and some journalists have been acting like spoiled prima donnas, , privileged, and ELITIST .....................who want to control what questions had to be asked, and what viewers has to hear.

The question asked by the first independent media was not among the topic in the debate - BUT, THEY ARE ALSO LEGITIMATE QUESTION, IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DONALD TRUMP!

Carney was caught off-guard by the questions. The questions were WOKE-related......and we know that WOKE is a big issue to Donald Trump.
Therefore - it is part of the issue but for the obvious reason of time constraint, was not included among the questions in the debate.

F**K! Why would I want a repeat spin on a question that was already discussed at the debate?
The question asked by this independent media, is relevant - since it's a WOKE issue, and woman-issue!


This is the scrum after the French debate. CBC footage seems to have scrubbed it. CENSORED.
Thanks to independent media for documenting it:

My point:


If you're going to deal with TRUMP - you have to be prepared for everything!


WOKE, is a big issue to Trump!
Protecting women in sports, is big issue to Trump!


You can't take them off the table if Trump puts them on the table in his negotiations............................or in other ways he deals with trade!

Why do I say that?
Because of this:


Trump administration asks French companies to comply with DEI ban





Therefore, the question asked by True North, is very much relevant to the debate!
It was an important question that wasn't addressed in the debate!
Too bad - candidates were not asked the same thing! They should've been asked in that formal debate.

Okay, grab your popcorn.
This is the response of Rebel News.
We have to listen to both sides. This video also has a clip on the interview of Cochtan with Comier.

There are some scenes not shown on the CBC (I don't know about other media).

This happened after the English Debate, when scrum was unexpectedly cancelled.




 
What I do know about the Rebel News is that it had won a court case.



Federal Court ordered Liberal MPs to unblock Rebel News, pay fine


The ruling came after Rebel News was victorious in a lawsuit against Guilbeault, who blocked Rebel founder and owner Ezra Levant on the social media platform.

“What’s so crazy is that they’re doing to us exactly what Steven Guilbeault, Trudeau’s extremist environment minister, did to us — and he was smashed in Federal Court,” said Rebel News.


Guilbeault allegedly ordered his government department to block Rebel on X. The news organization could not receive any government news updates from the environment minister’s department.
Rebel News argued that Guilbeault blocking them from his official government account that makes government announcements and is run by an army of non-partisan civil servants is illegal.


“It would be like the passport office not giving us passports just because we criticize Trudeau,” said the news organization.


 
A question, is a question...................even if it doesn't come from the privileged, elitist media.





Mark Carney runs from Rebel News' questions in Montreal!



 
CANDIDATES GETTING CAUGHT OFF-GUARD BY A QUESTION.....................is something we want to hear.

I applaud TRUE NORTH for the questions.




I'm so sick and tired of rehearsed answers and spin to questions that are expected.
 
Corrections:
I found the full scrum covered by CBC. The segment asked by True North was not scrubbed:


But there you go, near the end of this segment - CBC Rosemary Barton started on her DIVISIVE tactics - by pointing out that TRUE NORTH is a VERY RIGHT-WING website!
F**K! Who cares what site it is. The journalist asked a very relevant question! Just listen to her.

"these people....." you arrogant, small-minded cow!
Lol - Why didn't you ask it?

I feel for the independent media, and how they're being treated.
So, let me just post this:



 
Rebel News?

Some people sure love conspiracies and propaganda. Consuming media like that is nothing more than junk food for the brain.
 
None of those super market tabloids provide anything other than fodder for the incels and disenfranchised among us needing a "gripe" over the colour of Kumquats to salve the beast within.

Lining the bottom of your budgie cages back in the day of later iterations of The Sun printed offerings, you had to be prepared to change the lining often as the budgies always developed projectile diarrhea when forced to perch over their useless bumph.

Ezra, Conrad, Lilley, Peterson et-al have based their entire career getting in our faces with the most controversial crap they can dig up out of the outhouse pit.

The function they serve admirably is alerting us to the possible oncoming onslaught from the far right wing nuts all primarily concerned over who is using which bathroom and are they standing up or sitting down to do their business.

So tiresome.

Trying to stifle them, however, does us a disservice by assuming all of us being incapable of assigning them their relative value vis-a-vis the "information" 😏 they put out there for public consumption.

I would have agreed with this in the past, but technology and the way propaganda is now able to be adjusted on an almost realtime basis has become too powerful.

The Cambridge Antalytica scandal proves how dangerous it is and I think we all have a duty to speak out against it.

Yeah, I struggle with that assumption Canadians are able to parse the crap from the barrage of fake stuff being generated by the ton we are inundated with daily.

I remember when guys like Lavant and Lilley were subject to an editorial comments page in The Sun that routinely took them to task over their rabid nonsense. Internet blather presents an exponentially huge arena for them to shotgun with their crap and also the ability for them to block all counter arguments.

Your point is well taken that some form of journalistic integrity and fact checking be a requirement of all of them.
 
If clueless Barton and Cochtan thinks the questions asked by True North is not relevant to the TRUMP issue....................then, they show that CBC has a very low standard when it comes to journalism.


DEI is a big issue to Trump and MAGA. We'd seen it being imposed already in France, so don't imagine the likelihood of the same won't happen to Canada, or to Canadian companies.


How the US Removal of DEI Programs Could Affect Canada

While Canada has its own legal and social framework surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion, the developments in the U.S. may still influence Canadian businesses, policies, and public opinion.
Here's how it might affect Canada:

Why do you care so much what that asshole idiot Deejay Trump thinks about 'woke'? Hell, if you asked him to he couldn't even tell you what the word means.
Even money odds that you couldn't either.

Don't you know the supposed ballot question?
Haven't got a clue?

If you're going to engage on this thread - make sure you're on the same page.

Are you Canadian?
Yeah, born and raised.
Don't you know the supposed ballot question?
Its an election. My ballot will have four or five names on it and I'll put an 'X' beside one.
What do you suppose the 'question' will be?
Haven't got a clue?
What are you talking about?
If you're going to engage on this thread - make sure you're on the same page.
How's this- **** Trump, the idiot asshole, and **** any Canadian politicians who seeks to placate him.
Did I just turn the page?

Gotta go to town today. That's almost never a good day.
