Once again at #JUST the CPC appears to be filibustering their own bill. Instead of granting an extension to C-270, @dckurek is filibustering. Why do they not want to hear from groups that want to help with legislation?

[James Maloney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇨🇦 @j_maloney]

So do you want to hear from Arnold, or not?

Two hours of filibuster, and @ArnoldViersen is still missing in action on his own Bill. Conservatives made one thing clear—they’re blocking him from talking. Makes you wonder…is it something Arnold said? #WheresArnold

[Sarah Andrews @SarahAndrews22]

Just checked my Bell schedule and the CBC is broadcasting the games. This is deliberate disinformation by @RachaelThomasMP and the @CPC_HQ.

And if anyone wants to check out the facts, you can read more here: https://t.co/iKeV80H0cK

[Rachael Thomas @RachaelThomasAB]

SPOILER ALERT- the Liberals voted “no” to calling on the CBC to broadcast the Stanley Cup finals.

Taxpayers give $1.4 billion/yr to the CBC.

The CBC has the rights to broadcast the NHL playoffs.

The Edmonton Oilers are representing Canada against the Panthers.

Canadians deserve unhindered access!

[Sarah Andrews @SarahAndrews22]

We know @taxpayerDOTcom want to defund Radio-Canada...maybe the @CPC_HQ wants to as well?

Est-ce que Radio-Canada doit rester ouvert? La députée conservatrice @RachaelThomasMP , responsable du dossier du Patrimoine, prend du temps à répondre :

[Marie Vastel @M_Vastel]

La députée conservatrice albertaine Rachael Thomas (celle qui s'indignait que la Ministre St-Onge lui réponde en français) refuse de dire si elle croit que Radio-Canada devrait demeurer ouvert. Jusqu'à ce que @LaurenceM_RC lui rappelle que c'est la position de son chef... #polcan

[Toula Drimonis @ToulasTake]

Wow… This is the Conservative Party’s heritage critic and she stands like a deer in the headlights when asked a basic question about Radio-Canada’s future. The robotic “I stand with my leader” line at the end only adds to the awkwardness of the exchange. @CPC_HQ FTW! 🤦‍♀️

[Les Amis des médias canadiens @LesAmisMC]

Est-ce que certain-e-s député-e-s du Parti conservateur cherchent à définancer @iciradiocanada également...?

🤔

@RachaelThomasMP @PierrePoilievre

[Sarah Andrews @SarahAndrews22]

On sait que @taxpayerDOTcom veut définancer @iciradiocanada...on dirait que certains membres du @CPC_HQ également. En tant que Québécois et Québécoises, et ainsi francophones, on devrait se méfier...

[Friends of Canadian Media @FriendsCndm]

Do some Conservatives want to defund Radio-Canada as well...? 🤔

The career of @globeandmail reporter @RobynDoolittle is being recognized by World Press Freedom Canada, which is honouring her for dismantling government, corporate and police secrecy with her investigative #journalism. https://t.co/sYznAkKZnN via @CDN_WPF #PressFreedom

[Travis Dhanraj @Travisdhanraj]

At a time when the public broadcaster is under increasing scrutiny and when transparency is needed, #CanadaTonight requested an intvu w/ @PresidentCBCRC Catherine Tait. We wanted to discuss new budget funding, what it means for jobs & the corporation’s strategic priorities ahead. Our request was declined. This is unfortunate.

Please Watch With Sound On…

A woman is grabbed by the Islamic Republic of Iran's so-called morality police and shoved into the back of one of their notorious vans.

The morality police are back on the streets in full force, harassing women and girls, damaging and seizing their property, and "arresting" them violently.

[Saba Eitizaz/ صبا اعتزاز @sabaeitizaz]

Hey @nationalpost. I just wanted to share some “mean internet comments” I, @atRachelGilmore and @wickdchiq get on a regular basis for doing our jobs and merely existing. We are one of many just in case you thought three vulnerable women journalists weren’t good enough.

[Saba Eitizaz/ صبا اعتزاز @sabaeitizaz]

Not an issue right? It’s not like there are actual statistics and research out there talking about the dangers of online hate to democracy and societies and the impunity of online harassment leading to real life violence.

[Tom Harrington @cbctom]

W5 as a stand alone program is eliminated by Bell. More than 50 years of fine current affairs journalism on CTV at an end. A tremendous legacy. A sad day for Canadian television.

[Teresa Wright @ReporterTeresa]

It’s hard to explain how devastating it is to wake up one day and be told your job is gone.

It’s like the ground beneath you suddenly disappears and everyone around just watches with helpless expressions as you plummet.

My heart breaks for all the journalists laid off today 💔

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

W5 has been cancelled.

It debuted in 1966 & was the longest-running current affairs/newsmagazine in North America & Canada's third-longest running TV show ever.
Hosts have included Sandie Rinaldo, Lloyd Robertson & Morley Safer.

It inspired other shows, including 60 Minutes.

[Friends of Canadian Media @FriendsCndm]
