Irving Oil announces they might have to restructure due to the "energy transition" as Canada is blanketed by smoke from fires that are (partially) due to their product.
That's a great way to change the channel. Instead of people worrying about the air they breathe, they suddenly need to worry about Irving Oil's 4000 jobs.
This is corporate ratfucking. And CBC reports it without commentary or context.

Irving Oil posts a poorly veiled threat about having to restructure due to the energy transition and CBC reprints it wholesale.
Irving Oil is privately held. The only reason they posted this press release is because they want concessions. If they were serious about restructuring, they would restructure without telling anyone.
And CBC dutifully tells us Irving has 4000 employees, etc.

back in the early 2000s, i couldn't have been more excited about troika's followup to their Fallout games. Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura appeared to be exactly the kind of fantasy game I wanted in a severe RPG drought.
in the end, Arcanum turned out to be a special kind of creature: fragile, buggy, unbalanced, and yet full of charm, wit and ingenuity.
what stood out to me though, were Ben Houge's sombre compositions for a string quartet. it was the kind of classical music that would - should! - have played on #cbc radio canada on a quiet sunday morning.
until today, i had relied upon the terrible 128kbit mp3s i had downloaded decades earlier. i had no idea that someone had located a sierra on-line promo cd, and ripped the entire thing to FLAC years ago.
the entire soundtrack downloadable in non-lossy format here:

It never surprises me when outlets like the Globe and Mail waste their column inches on BS discussion about corporate tax breaks. I am surprised that this has now extended to the CBC which spends an entire article wasting time “debating” the issue.

Whew! The CBC stream of Game 1 is back up again. They are still tied 2-2 at the end of the 2nd OT.
Thanks go out to whatever tech person at CBC got it working again after what I guess was just some weird glitch because no one figured a game would go past midnight.
OMG! I'm streaming CBC on my desktop to watch Game 1 of the NHL Stanley Cup playoff series between Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers.
They are now in double overtime. Exciting game!
Then the stream abruptly ended with a note "Program Has Ended". I guess CBC only had rights to the game up till midnight Eastern time?? Aaargh!
Now I'm going to have to find it on AM radio somewhere and listen to the rest of the game on audio only.
Thanks to the #CBC Minority report newsletter (https://subscriptions.cbc.ca/listmanagement/forms/politicsnewsletter), I discovered https://dashboard.440megatonnes.ca/ which shows Canada's progress towards its 2030 carbon goals.
One thing I like about this chart is the projections based on policies at various stages (from legislated to announced). It looks like if the politicians stick to their plans we have hope of coming close to our goal! So don't stop pressuring your MP to fight for the planet.

So the #CBC decided to go back crawling to #Twitter, and guess what? The manchild dictator (the incel non-orange one) is now mocking them openly.
This is straight-up deserved by the CBC and its leadership, and honestly, he's not wrong. The CBC is showing their lack of vision and leadership, and this decision has revealed what spineless, gutless, and cowardly folks run the show over there. I'm pissed for all the Canadians they're supposed to represent.
The #CBC deserves what it gets crawling back to #Twitter on its knees. They didn't have to land on Mastodon, but to go back to Twitter?
The #CBC once one of the most respected newsrooms in the world is now a complete satire of itself.
Maybe it should be defunded if it's content is used to put money, my tax payer money, in the pocket of Elon Musk :cbc:
Elon Musk is mocking the #CBC for returning to #Twitter.
And you know what?
They deserve all the mockery in the world.
Few journalists have a spine. They keep kowtowing to Twitter even though Elon Musk loathes journalism, and openly voices disdain for it.
So of course, Elon Musk mocks the Press -- they don't stand up for themselves.
And quite frankly, if they're not willing to stand up for themselves, how can any of them hold Elon Musk accountable?

@socialmedianews@venera.social
@colinfry666 @lolzac @snoda My point was (not that you challenged it) that if the #CBC designed their market strategy as being dependent on #Twitter then they just should have shut up when #NPR and #PBS announced their intentions to leave.
The subtext here is that the CBC does not really care about editorial independence as, now, they are firmly owned by the whims of #Musk - and Musk will exploit that now that he knows of the CBC's dependency.
CBC just put a target on their own back.
Here’s perspective on the platform #CBC thinks is good for Canadian taxpayer-funded news distribution.
The #cbc's carefully considered social media strategy.
Twitter seems just as unstable as it was two weeks ago. It's unclear why CBC needs to return to the platform now, unless the threats about repossessing handles scared CBC back.
This is a really, **really** dumb thing to do on the part of the #CBC.
It plays right into #Musk’s hands and damages your journalistic credibility more than if you did not initially suspend your #Twitter activity in the first place.
Obviously, nothing has changed in terms of #PressFreedom and editorial interference over the past month on Twitter - if anything, it has become far worse.
Really dumb.

I'm trying to shop for food at places other than Loblaws run stores. I found a good food store, Kensington Fruit Market at 36 St. Andrew Street, in Kensington Market, that often sells stuff that's older and leftover (but still mostly good) for quite cheap. I bought these grapes for $1.00. Some are spotted, but still quite tasty. The container in the image is 5 litres in volume.

It's not the full retreat from #Twitter like #NPR, #PBS and #CBC but Germany's biggest public Broadcaster #ARD will shutdown hundreds of its accounts on #SocialMedia: Yet only Twitter is mentioned by name (they're "watching it closely").
Remember they're currently and still testing their own instance for #Mastodon at https://dev.ard.social
And all that while beefing with #NPR, #PBS, #BBC, #CBC etc. #ElonMusk picks sides:
State-controlled media experience sudden #Twitter gains after unannounced platform policy change - #DFRLab
"Multiple Russian, Chinese, and Iranian state media outlets on Twitter simultaneously began to gain followers after months of decline or Stagnation [...] Twitter had made the deliberate decision to stop filtering government accounts in #Russia, #China, and #Iran."
“This would be far more reliable than Twitter’s current pay-for-a-checkmark system. Because the CBC’s Mastodon server would be connected to the larger fediverse, the CBC would both enjoy global reach and local autonomy. And no billionaire could ever take that away.”

Funny how this morning's #CBC story on the topic missed this most relevant aspect of things...

Jetzt auch als Artikel bei @heiseonline:
Nach Streit mit NPR & Co: Label zur Medienfinanzierung auf Twitter verschwunden
Noch vor Tagen haben englischsprachige Medien öffentlichkeitswirksam mit Twitter über Kennzeichnungen zur Finanzierung gestritten. Nun sind die verschwunden.

After all the disputes about the labels for #media on #Twitter, they now have disappeared entirely. #CBC is not "69% government" funded anymore, "#NPR and #PBS also have no extra-text. As do propaganda outlets from #Russia, #China or #Iran.
I hope, the #media that left Twitter don't use this as an excuse to return.
Well, well. I see ‘He of the Blue Bird Site’ has removed his ignorant “Government-Funded Media” label from #cbc’s profile page. I’m personally hoping the #MotherCorp doesn’t blink and refrains from posting there ever again.
Brodie Fenlon: I run CBC News. Elon Musk’s Twitter changes had to be called out
Allowing a false impression of government involvement in our work to stand is inconsistent with our commitment to accurate journalism

:mstdnca: Considering the Twitter chaos and Musk's actions, it's time for the #CBC to explore a more open alternative: the Fediverse and Mastodon.
Canadians have always been early adopters of technology, and it is no surprise that we have a significant presence in the Fediverse. The CBC plays a vital role in providing Canadians with news, information, and entertainment, and it is crucial for CBC to be where Canadians are and to adapt to the ever-changing social media landscape.
@jbwharris
I think CBC tries to balance the increasing left/right divide - both sides-ing it - without compromising their integrity but I fear the right is already too poisoned against CBC for this to be an effective strategy to include them.
This poll was taken prior to the Musk/Poilievre nonsense. #cbc #poll #cdnpoli
#LGBTs とか #トランスジェンダー の方とか、#NPR とか #CBC とか #PBS みたいなメディアに、別に個人的には特に思い入れがあるわけじゃないけど :vivaldi_blue: :mastodon: :fediverse: ユーザーとして #Twitter からいわれのない有害リンク指定とか受けた身としては同情するし、Twitter どんどん話の通じない世界になっていってる…

そもそも、日本語圏のこういうモデレーションってどこまで実際に運用できてるんだろう…(スタッフ激減したって聞いてるけど
This is a very well-written argument in favour of CBC joining Mastodon with its own server. Thanks, @thetyee

Still no #TwitterExodus, but another #PublicBroadcaster leaving: Swedish #SverigeRadio quits #Twitter. A reason stated, is that it simply "has become less important to us" & "only 7% of Swedes are daily on Twitter".
#ElonMusk wasn't the reason for leaving, but for evaluating their attitude towards Twitter.

Other than #NPR, #PBS and #CBC they're not pausing their activity on Twitter, but really leaving. Again no word about #Mastodon/#Fediverse, though.
Hi folks! I'm a journalist in Montreal covering the climate and environment beat (and sometimes other stuff too). I work for the CBC News online interactive team, but I also regularly report for our national TV and radio shows. #Journalism #CdaPoli #CBC #Mtl
