Shoot heroin, smoke crack in Vancouver, just don’t have a glass of wine on a beach

 

Of course you can’t have alcohol in public places but the City of Vancouver hands out crack pipes and sets up “safe-injection” sites for drug addicts. (see here)

Huh, Minister for CBC won’t even contact them for policy explanation?

 

James Moore keeps proving himself incapable of being in charge of the Heritage Ministry and how he keeps his job is baffling to say the least.

His latest idiocy comes when questioned about the CBC’s “policy” of not publishing suspected war criminals’ names and photos.

‘Asked if he had contacted the CBC about its policy, Moore replied, “I don’t interfere in the day-to-day activities of the CBC.”‘ (see here)

Let’s get this straight…this isn’t about a day-to-day activity of the CBC. This is about a political and ideological decision which my complaint (see here) to the CBC Ombudsman will assuredly expose and if Moore was doing his job for us taxpayers, I wouldn’t have to do it for him.

Kenney takes shot at CBC on Twitter about suspected war criminal

 

During a press conference with Public safety Minister Vic Toews Thursday, I noticed Immigration Minister Jason Kenney went out of his way to “correct” Toews on the number of media outlets who are refusing to publish the names and photos of suspected war criminals by whispering “one” to Toews.

Kenney isn’t letting the CBC off with just that shot as he sent out this Tweet last night with a link to a story in the Gazette attached:

“Read about the sort of person that Amnesty Intl, the Council for Refugees & the CBC are squeamish about us identifying: http://is.gd/BzEdWR“

Who else thinks Minister for the CBC James Moore is feeling more than a little lonely inside the Conservative caucus right now?

My complaint filed regarding CBC’s changing policy of publishing suspects’ names

CBC Ombudsman Kirk LaPointe

On July 21st, when the federal government announced the list of 30 suspected war criminals, CBC’s initial web story stated that:

“CBC News is not publishing the names or photos of the suspects at this time.”

This was later changed to:

“CBC News’ practice is not to name suspects, and therefore is not publishing the names or photos of the suspects at this time.”

If this is indeed a policy of the CBC, it has not been followed in the past and seemingly only now has been put in place because of their refusal to name these suspected war criminals. Also, why is it any different to publish names and pictures after they’ve been arrested?

I am asking you as the CBC Ombudsman to confirm that this is an official CBC policy and not one that has been only formulated along ideological lines.

Liberal MP candidate wants Vancouver Pride Parade banned

 

Oh, those tolerant Liberals… according to the media, it’s suppose to be  us Conservatives wanting Pride Parades banned and not Liberals like political science professor and MP candidate Shinder Purewal:

“Vancouver’s so-called ‘Pride Parade’ should be banned. It is vulgar . . . to say the least!”

There is nothing wrong with pressuring local politicians and Pride organizers to tone down the overt nudity etc as it is a public event, but calling for banning is not part of the solution. (see here)
