DEFUND THE CBC

is so ideologically captured. It's embarrassing.

Good I hope that means we will hear less from you

This article brought to you from the same trustworthy source- CBC that was used as evidence to invoke the EA? Oh, and how many million does Justin send to the CBC annually again? The thing that is most risky is Canadians swallowing propaganda from comprised sources like the CBC!

WOW this is absolutely disgusting! You expect this kind of response from China in response to a free and open town square where people can have descending point of views not from Canada. liberal_party JustinTrudeau CPC_HQ

It is just propaganda, so I don't really care.

Excellent. No more msm.

Good riddance from Twitter. Turdeau and his cronies are a blight on Canada.

Elon canned all the plants. 😂

I saw CBC account on Mastodon. Aren't you going to use it again?

Can't wait to watch the mass layoffs at your fake news company once funding is cut. Tick... tock...

The CBC stands in opposition to the free speech policies of an Elon Musk owned Twitter. Our ‘snowflake’ dominated national broadcaster is unable to tolerate any opinion that doesn’t agree with its own. ✔️ SNOWFLAKE DEFINITION:

Will CBC doesn’t want to get perma banned for fake news

Good. Less fake news.

freeze them out. all Musk wants to do is make Twitter a Republican platform of misanthropes to shelter his billions.

$1.2billion and counting.

nevertesla

Twitler

The brand is already unsafe, ineffective and essentially ignored by millions. The damage was done long before Elon Musk acquired Twitter.

You won’t be missed you clowns 🤡

Yup can’t have a social platform that allows FREE speech

So, our government does not endorse freedom of expression? And by extension, does not trust individual Canadians to discern plausible information from nonsense? The liberal_party brand themselves as “progressive”, but insists on carefully curated social media platforms? 🤔

$8. Cheap price for free speech.

If they gave CBC 1 Billion imagine how much they were giving Twitter, a company that actually gets views!

Defund the CBC

Why are my tax dollars paying for advertising in the first place?

Awesome!!!! Best news ever! Because no one asked for government propaganda to begin with! Keep your bullshit to yourselves

So this government is so bad it needs to advertise that it's not?! That's about right. The Vax damage is strong with the fakenewsCBC

Don’t care 🤷‍♂️, I’ll still use Twitter. - Only thing your actually punishing is yourselves. - I’ll happily pay $8 a month to get news from citizens journalists and not have to wade through the garbage you call “journalism”, soon maybe you’ll all have to get a real job.

That's fine by me. I blocked ads by the Canuck gov't long ago. Too much propaganda in life already. TrudeauMustGoNow

How much more brand damage can the Canadians handle at the hands of the liberal_party JustinTrudeau cafreeland MarkGerretsen SeamusORegan gmbutts telfordk AnitaAnandMP

🤣🤣🤣

😂🤣👍

Buhbye😱🤡

Bye.

If only the Gov of Canada would stay off twitter, thereby reducing the amount of misinformation snd disinformation.

Wtf, the feds are getting involved?!

CANADIAN GOVT IS A FAWKEN JOKE. Look at this leader.

It has actually been embarrassing to be Canadian since Trudeau assumed office. Please know we’re not all like him and less than 20% of the electorate voted for him in the last election.

DefundTheCBC

Because he is voting republican and Liberals are socialist along with biased CBC

Musk Derangement Syndrome is turning out to be much worse than TDS.

Smart.

🤣😅😂

Government does not like sunshine

I swear he only bought Twitter so he could keep his addiction to spouting BS without getting banned.

Good, save us some cash instead of useless partisan massaging

Good. We don't want to see your garbage anyways. Hopefully Twitter will ban Canadian state media from posting s hit on Twitter

Canada needs to protect those US jobs.

Advised by Cossette

How much of our taxes went to bail you out? Your officially owned by Citizens now. We demand a refund on you misinformation your spread. The agenda you only serve. DefundCBC

Interesting , the federal government is so fearful of free speech and contradictory views that it will chose to just not say anything at all on a platform they can not control . TrudeauMustGo defundcbc

But don't worry.... TRUDEAU STILL OWNS CBC.

Fu cbc propaganda bs

Not sure why government is spending money on advertising anyway, FFS 🤷‍♀️

Has Twitter become a 44 billion dollar mistake?

Too much egocentric attitude, to much greed in all its evil forms, the world leaders and their loyal Minions (who keep them in power) mindset. The ancient Jewish prophecies are right on.

ha ha ha

Government of Canada - We only fund those that back our propaganda.

Im sorrycossette ,your site haven’t been updated since 2019 .

Hahaha canadian government brand Bunch of loser elected by Toronto, Montreal and newfies lol

Viva Elon!!!

Good, govt shouldnt be advertising

meaning they worried about being fact checked

Trudeau lost his controlled Liberal social media. So of course, he will stop using it. Like buying off Can Legacy media under the guise of CEWS he has now hidden. How exposing.

Hahaha, good. But Trudeau's still singing to the bird beat! Can we get him off here too!

As expected Trudeau’s taking his toys and going home. 100% Trudeau propaganda anyway.

Can we get them to pause all advertising everywhere? Please.

So Trudeaus cheerleader will not be on Twitter... Bye defund the cbc

Great news!! I want to see no ads from this corrupt government on twitter

😂

I look forward to paying my 8 bucks to get rid of our govt advertising for good.

Hmmm..... I wonder what will happen to the narrative now.

'Brand safery'? That's a funny way if saying the truth will expose their globalist, neo communist shilling.

I think it’s because they are realizing that Twitter is no longer a safe place to tell lies and half-truths

HEY LEFTISTS, ARE YOU STARTING TO SEE IT NOW? DO YOU SEE HOW YOUR GOVERNMENT IS TAKING SIDES?DO YOU SEE THE BIAS? This has absolutely nothing to do with governing our country TrudeauDestroyingCanada

'brand safety'? The only brand the federal Liberals have is incompetence!

🤣🤣🤣 Canadian politicians have become such a joke.

Where was this when Bell and many other major corporations had mass layoffs 🤔🤔🤔

Lol

What a bunch of ridiculous children

coward

Lol Telford and Butts TrudeauMustGo TrudeauMustGoToJail TrudeauDictatorship

But they're still going to advertise on Facebot? 🤣🤡

You guys have no brand besides nepotism and corruption

Bahahaha

The Liberal WOKE Media ran Government

Good

Government of Canada pausing their propaganda…I like Twitter more each day, might pay that 8 bucks a month if they keep that crap off the platform.

So censorship liberal style then!

What does the Canadian government have to hide? elonmusk

Twitter will be better without all the propaganda from this Regime

In other words, you might actually learn something Trudeau doesn't want you to know. You can't censor my opinion here like you do on your website anymore.

ZUCK'S CUTS: Struggling Facebook to Make Massive Layoffs, May Be Bigger Than Twitter Cuts. Facebook also government making advertising cuts to them also.

This is ridiculous. What's with this fed gov? Dramatic much 🙄

Why would you need to advertise in the first place. If you were a source of creditable news lots of people would be watching and listening. If you have to bailed out by Cdn Tax 💰 to keep going then it's on CBC to figure out your financial problems. Shouldn't be my problem !

This is how hard they fight against you when you try to uphold free speech

How ridiculous 🙄

Excellent!!🥴

Twitter is about to become a much better place.

Will they cancel Facebook too?

Far left government has hissy fit with other far leftists, as reported by so-called CBC journalists at the far left propaganda wing of the far left Liberal Party.

Bye

Great news! No more CBC bovine waste on Twitter.

Obviously, the marching orders are WEF and our puppet PM is following along including the CBC.

Sell Twitter to Elon they said. It will get freedom of speech back on it they said.

Yes, cos now CrookedPoliticians in BigGovt won't be able to waste taxpayer dollars to peddle self-serving propaganda & fakenews from 'official sources' & 'the experts'! 🤡🤷‍♂️🤔🧐🤨 cdnmedia cdnmediafailed GovtLies Canada cdnpoli cdnpolitics

Twitter doesn’t need Liberal propaganda!

Aww shucks. Scared govt propaganda wont pass the new fact checker paradigm? Ya'll better be scared!

Will the Liberal government pause MarkGerretsen's childish, unbecoming Twitter trolling?

Good!

There is a God🙌🙌🙌. Now I don’t have to see fake drama lining my feed😁 Bye-bye GovCanHealth

It’s so disgusting to watch people who supposedly care about the environment attack the one guy who has done the most to transition away from fossil fuels. The mob mentality of the left is so bizarre.

Cuck Broadcasting Corporation needs to be defended. Totally and completely. Time to rid ourselves of this gake news drain on the taxpayer.

Why does he look so angry in every photo?

The Trudeau government has politicized its advertising budget.

DefundCBC

So no more propaganda for the libs?

“Oh no our echo chamber has collapsed”

ROFL says CBC that gets their money from the taxpayers via Trudeau’s handouts!

Defund the CBC!!!!!

Good! Giving money to a virtual Trump rally and conspiracy convention that banned a comedian who dared mock dear Elon is not a good look.

Imagine JustinTrudeau government that doesn't use Twitter at all.

More like mass propaganda

Safety third!

This is absolute corruption at the highest level! The left have gone nuts since Musk bought twitter & isn’t in a spreading the word/agenda of the left whilst censoring any other political opinion that differs from theirs. The WEF and the people propagating the agenda are enemies

Good. Now there's less fake news on twitter. I guess we won't be seeing this corrupt government advertise their 💩 fake vaccines that don't work 😂

Twitter closed down its adult day-care divisions. Things will only improve. DefundCBC

Of course. The commies can't keep pushing their narrative..cry cry..

A man fighting for unbias application of free speech, and CBC hates him. Very telling.

You mean Covid the .. latest CASH COW !!!

Of course. Canada is all about censorship now. I am waiting for the day that the Trudeau government wants to ban Twitter in Canada.

Gonna be a enjoyable time on Twitter without Government advertising lies and garbage.

CBC HUH. JUSTINE TRUDEAU HA. Once lies start piling on top of one another things get complicated and social media exasperated those lies. CBC your failing your core purpose. The pursuit of truth. All we get from you is bile.

Its not too surprising trudeau the man with 3 ethics violations the first one for taking bribes, third one to giving billions to his friends cuts spending to a platform that promotes free speech.

But they are throwing the CBC another 40 million or so to spew nonsense and propaganda...Oh Canada, you have sadly lost your way

the Liberals themselves are a risk to brand safety

So no more ads for vaccines, COViD fact checks and climate change? Relief. Of course, “brand safety” is Federal government brand safety. Twitter is capable of dictating election results and keeping governments in check.

Does that mean I don’t have to see Tam and PHAC peddling their poison Jab

That’s good! Now there won’t be any liberal government propaganda.

Canada shouldn’t be advertising anywhere with my money.

Why would our federal government care about employment numbers at twitter?

So the Liberals think they should start saving taxpayers money now, WOW

Love it when the garbage takes itself out! 👏👏👏

Geez I wonder if they will do the same to Facebook after they lay off?

I got an idea about Twitter’s worth since Musk took it over. How about he pays us $ 8.00 a month to have the privilege of harvesting OUR data.

Our government cares more about three thousand commies who worked at Twitter than our own blue collar workers? Nah. This isn't about workers. It's because the Trudeau government is against free speech.

End all covid restrictions and mandates in Canada 🍁 (This is an unpaid comment made by a Canadian who despises discrimination)

Cbc you are Afraid of the Truth

Maybe they can hand the savings over to the CBC? You should have some 'experts' weigh in

Companies are pulling ads because they're cutting back but won't tell you that. As for the feds, mostly virtue signaling. The types of people who used to get banned, still are getting banned for the most part.

Government coercion.

🤣 brand safety? I think you've tarnished that brand all on your own 🤡

Defund the CBC!

mdentandt 👇🤮

Good stop wasting our money advertising on social media. The federal government is tasked with managing our money to look after Canadians, not promote a brand.

*A far left consulting company receiving millions of CAD from Liberal government recommends halting advertising because the left is trying to boycott Twitter. Fixed the title for you.

mdentandt Lol, will elonmusk boycott Canada because of this? Such a 🃏 🤡 this Musk dude

So, there'll be less propaganda on twitter? Nice

🤔Is this why he’s inviting SOME that can HELP BACK⁉️ Stay away & stay with the class action‼️

song why mother

They can't control the population if they need to pay 8$ a month 😂🤣😂🤣 they can't created covid bots

Good

Virtue signalling. Twitters policies have not changed

animal heavy wash front hurry bottom

Say what you will about Musk, he is creating an environment with less government propaganda.

They'll still give him subsidies, however

Well that didn’t take long! What a joke!

Nice he is already making it a better place. Less propaganda.

RosieBarton I thought the argument was, It's A Private Company, they can do what they want

RosieBarton RosieBarton I believe another late night walk in the park with JustinTrudeau would be great for Canada. Maybe wear some Hockey Canada regalia to bout! media cbc cdnpoli

RosieBarton That would be great.

Trudeau's government to be concerned about brand safety? That's funny. Uncertain continuity of moderation? How embarrassing for flip-floppy Canadian government officials to be fact-checked and have tweets removed. Makes sense.

WHY IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT USING TAX PAYER MONEY TO ADVERTISE ANY OF THEIR PROPAGANDA ON TWITTER!? that’s the real fucking question.

Wonder if they will do the same with Facebook which is about to do the same
