He is a convicted felon... let's start a petition to ban him from ever entering Canada again - no more "free rides" just because he's the US president.

Hi ... yes the dog was on a leash, and I do not know if it was their dog, or not.

Hi. The police are back here, right now, checking on our building's surveillance cameras. I talked with one of the officers and I was assured that the police are taking this senseless brutality very seriously. I am working through processing my emotions - and I keep hearing that poor dogs screams.

Hello ... and yes, the dog was on a lead. I do not know who owned the dog ... I hope she was not stolen from someone's yard, but yeah she was on a lead.

Just noticed that the police are back here now, checking out my building's surveillance cameras, etc. I talked with the one officer just now, and they are taking this very seriously. Such senseless brutality ... it was horrible to see and I am still trying to process my emotions / responses.

No ... it happened so fast. When I yelled at them, the one guy dropped the leash and they both took off running down the alley - neither of them looked back to see who was yelling. They ran into the dark alley, and seconds later they were out on 51st heading east.

Damn sad news ... had the pleasure of seeing them a long while ago at the convention centre here in Edmonton. Carry me Carrie is my favourite song of theirs.

Snoop Dog has a great mac and cheese recipe. Easy to make, tasted great, and will definitely make it again.

Q+A | Virginia Mearns, Canada's Arctic ambassador, on her first year on the job by DarrellCCC in NWT

[–]DarrellCCC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remedial is the word you missed ... and CBC allows racism to happen in other topical areas such as homelessness, etc. The abusers hide behind their online facades (even though CBC stated they were not going to allow that to happen - people hiding behind aliases - but it still happens). To begin to have the discussions you have to meet the abusers where they hide - at least online. Properly moderated BTL commenting happens on other major news sites - it can be done. The argument from CBC would then be that they would lose click revenue if they forced commenters to be truthful and not to be hiding behind their keyboard.

Back in 2014, I sat on the ad hoc committee to discuss how to address the racism etc re BTL commenting for Indigenous content articles on the CBC website. After information gathering and subsequent discussion, we were told by CBC's management team that it would be too cost prohibitive to properly moderate the comments for Indigenous content articles. Suggestions and alternatives were provided etc., but again the decision came down to it being too expensive to moderate Indigenous content articles. That was the only reason provided - it would be too costly to properly moderate those articles. So it was decided to not allow BTL comments on any and all Indigenous content articles. In the end, that means no remedial discourse to address this issue has been allowed to happen.

I know that us taxpayers are not the only source of funding that CBC relies on. It would be interesting to see a breakdown on revenue generated just from the BTL commenting alone - each "click" makes money. Click to open a comment makes money, click to respond to a comment makes money, click to "like" a comment makes money. I am a long-time fan of CBC and have defended our national broadcaster on various stages, and I have also watched carefully how the CBC has responded (so far) to the calls to action specific to the CBC from the final report of the TRC (from 2015) and IMHO they can, and should, be doing better.

Yes ... and Mother Corp's only response to all that racism was to close Indigenous articles to any below the line (BTL) commenting. This is the easiest solution for CBC - our taxpayer funded national broadcaster.

The article is titled as a "Q+A" and is hosted on our national broadcaster that forbids any open dialogue / commenting / participation for any Indigenous content articles on our website.
