Re: Feds add funding to CBC, despite executives’ claims it was asked to cut its budget, Feb. 29.

The CBC is getting another increase of our tax dollars, from $1.3 billion to $1.4 billion, for its annual budget. Just one more illustration that the Liberal government cares not one whit about the opinions of taxpayers.

Very few Canadians ever tune in to the CBC; most believe it is a totally biased mouthpiece for the Liberals and their disastrous policies, and a large majority of our population believes that all funding should be cut. Think of all the good that money could do in a more worthy area of the budget (the military).

The government is terrified of losing its subservient mouthpiece, so it bowed down to the threat put forth by the CBC executives to cut 800 jobs and $40 million from its production budget.

BRING ON JUDGE AI

If AI (artificial intelligence) were used to replace judges and make unbiased legal decisions in a single day, backlogs in democratic judicial systems would be eliminated. It is too bad and so sad that AI is currently not used in judicial systems today.

Some day, maybe!

Re: Just for Laughs seeks creditor protection, cancels Montreal comedy festival, online, March 5

Despite the sad news that Montreal’s world-famous Just for Laugh’s comedy festival has filed for bankruptcy, Canadians can still get their slapstick and guffaws from the Liberal Party of Canada’s long-running ninth season of their hilarious sitcom How We Ruined the Country, with an array of wacky characters such as a Lucille Ball finance minister, a Jerry Lewis lookalike as the mad minister of the environment and a caucus of well-trained clapping seals just along for the ride!

LOCKED UP, LIVING LARGE

Why don’t criminals fear being caught? Because even if they get caught, they get a better, stress-free life than a lot of law-abiding Canadians face each day. No worry about the high cost of food or lodging, no membership required for the gym, no 10-hour waits at any emergency room, the bill collector no longer a worry.

As a matter of fact, their biggest worry is that the government’s policies may release them, regardless of how terrifying the crime they committed was.
