Perhaps a bit early for the golf clapâŚ
So âdiscontinue [bonus]â and âadjust [base] salariesâŚto compensateâ
Many would/should prefer a pensionable increase in base salary in place of a non-pensionable bonus/performance pay.
The question is will the CBCâs salary envelope decrease? I bet it doesnâtâŚ

It's pretty obvious what funded entity holds the heart of the government. Joseph Goebbels would be proud.
Meanwhile CSIS operates on a budget of $703 million. It's no wonder our country is overrun with bad foreign actors, spys, drug cartels, money launderers and influencers.
CBC received an estimated $1.38-billion in 2024-25. Carney has promised another $150 million this year.
Canadian Security Intelligence Service $703 million
Communications Security Establishment $1.04 billion
Dept of Justice $948 million
Dept of Western Economic Diversification $321 million
Immigration and Refugee Board $334 million
National Security and Intelligence Review Agency $18 million
Northern Pipeline Agency $570 thousand
Office of the Auditor General $127 million
Commissioner of Lobbying of Canada $6 million
Lots more here - https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-b...re-plan-main-estimates/2024-25-estimates.html
Edit to fix typo.

But they'll adjust the certain people's base salary to compensate for the lack of bonus?
Between Carney's promise of increasing CBC's budget and Pierre's promise of eliminating CBC funding altogether...at this point I am personally in favour of the latter.

CBC has escaped defunding, for now. So what happens next?
OTTAWA - At the beginning of the year, CBC was facing the very real prospect of being defunded by a Conservative government.

They already have one of the largest budgets, outstripping that of more important agencies, like CSIS.

Like I say. Prove the numbers wrong. Are the names and numbers false? Those two things are all that is required. A fair person would concentrate on the data and leave the fluff. So is the data wrong? Prove it and I'll admit that it's shenanigans. Yourself, and others, are dismissing it out of hand because of other non connected articles and personal bias. The crux of its place in the discussion is 'how many parliamentarians hold citizenship in other countries.' The data shows Scheer is not an outlier. The data is all that is needed. Not the commentary. If I do a search and one of the first hits provides the data, that's all I need. I can skim and get what I need without worrying about left/ right bias. To counter your point, CAP is not a whole lot different than posting a CBC article to back your point. We know that they are biased and regularly print leftist mistruths. Yet people quote their articles all the time and it doesn't turn into a shitfest.Well, it's out there (for the past few weeks) - including in Irish media, in case you don't trust Canadian media ...

So, bottom line, disprove the data, as of time of publication.
Thanks for the Carney confirmation. Everything he says needs checking, because you can't trust him with the truth.

If the commentary (or, to use another word, opinion) isn't needed, why's the headline not about the data, but an opinion? "Dual, Triple Citizenship MPâs Shaping Canadaâs Political Destiny"
Data could be correct, but one can differ on the conclusion drawn from said data.
You're right -- nobody ever mentions leftist bias and "bought and paid for media" around here, sprinkled in as throw-away, discussion-seasoning tidbit, even in between posting links to stuff from said media that proves a point the poster agrees with or wants to highlight (like all those Communist Globe & Mail articles on Chinese interference, or Red/Toronto Star editorials calling for Trudeau to GTFO).
I haven't done a tally, but I'll grant you the numbers of MP's with multiple passports are bang on.
Next up: proving that data does, like the headline & article say, "shape Canada's political destiny." Big claims need big proof. And based on other analysis I see by the same folks on other issues in that outlet, we'll have to agree to disagree that this constitutes "big proof".

Comparing CAP to CBC News is like insisting your cousin's conspiracy blog is just as credible as the New England Journal of Medicineâbecause âeveryone has bias.â Come on, man. One is a federally regulated public broadcaster with named journalists, editorial standards, and actual sourcing; the other is an anonymous digital chalkboard scribbled with anti-immigrant fever dreams and zero citations. The fact that you still think this is a valid equivalence isnât just bafflingâit borders on epistemological malpractice. At some point, youâve got to stop digging.

The title is part of the fluff. Itâs unfortunate some can't separate the wheat from the chaff.
The numbers were the whole point. See my first sentence.
CBC or CAP. Neither is any different to me. I donât care who publishes the information I need, if the article has the data I want, I'll use it.
The article I posted about the new Speaker was from Western something or other. I donât really know the outlet. However, I knew the pertinent info in the article was true, as I had just watched it on TV. No more need to search for another source more copasetic to someone else's sensitivities.

when looking at the traffic, yeah low trust, low organic hits,
Quick dig shows its hosted in Council Bluff's Iowa, and very little organic traffic, targeting canada almost exclusively, using triggers for key words anything for former PM JT, LGTBQ+, muslims, and immigration as triggers to put it self to the top of search lists.

If the numbers were the kernel of the story, there would only be a table showing âwhatâ, not conclusions drawn from the numbers showing âso what?â

Someone skipped the scientific method lessons back in the day lol. If you're looking for certain numbers, the data you want, you're exposing yourself to all sorts of misinformation as long as it suits your narrative. How do you know CAP or any other Rebel News adjacent is actually operating in good faith and not making numbers up out of thin air? How do you know they aren't misrepresenting the truth? These kinds of outfits have no standards and frankly, no professional morals. Instead of CBC as a comparison, would you use Jacobin? Because that is a lot closer of a comparison.

Perhaps we're running past each other here.
You're arguing the actual content direction and what you are saying is right. It could very well be inflammatory, I donât know because I still havenât read it.
My feelings are personal, outside the narrative. Meaning the information contained there means nothing to ME, where it does to others. I take a quick scan for key words. When my eyes land on certain words, that's where I start. I read a sentence or two where those words are and if they have what I'm after, I pull that out. I don't pay attention to anything else. Or in this case, a hyperlink, which takes you to an article and chart on CBC (gasp).
I can understand why we couldn't land on the same beach. We weren't talking the same thing.
Anyway, if you wish to discuss it further, PM me and we can end the hijack here.
