Conservative MP declares war on Tim Hortons' 'woke paper lids'

[WiltonRanch]

Rex had a long career at CBC where he spun his often pedantic big words that almost nobody uses into sometimes interesting analysis and commentary.

Then he took a right turn and eventually ended up at the National Post writing dumbed down fodder and political partisan fluff and opinion for the National Post readers who expected partisan babble instead of thoughtful opinions. He turned into a Conservative hack cheerleader in a paper that is predictably hyper partisan and right wing on just about all issues.

The long time CBC host, became a hero of the people who hate the CBC, but never admit to watching it!

This post is typical coming from you. The guy just died and this is the shit coming out of your mouth. For as virtuous and woke as you are you are sure not showing it.

Chuck was more or less paraphrasing a nasty and petty article from CBC.
It had no byline as no one seemed to want be seen as responsible for such a stinking pile of shit. They edited it the next day but still no byline.
Don't recall ever seeing that before.

I would like to see the numbers on how many are listening to Cross Country Checkup now compared to when Rex hosted.
No only was he much more entertaining he had more diverse topics than what CBC likes to spew out now.
I was a regular listener.

I can't make 5 minutes when I hear it now.

Only CBC topics are Trans, LGBTQ....

You guys listened to Cross Country checkup? Shocking for guys who never listen to the CBC!

Rex did a pretty good job on that show and Ian Hanomansing is also very good.

As impartial talk show hosts they aren't supposed to express their own opinions. Unlike Gormley who is all about Gormley sprinkled with a few calls that most often agree with Gormley. What a surprise!

But I get the impression that most of you libertarians only want to hear opinions you agree with?

I see some are praising Rex as the voice of the ordinary person.

How many ordinary people could use so many big fancy university educated words in one sentence as Rex, and still think he representative the ordinary citizen?

In the end Rex sold out to the National Post and was paid to take the conservative line for a conservative readership.

He was fired from the Globe and Mail opinion section.

After that he must have been pissed at the moderate centrists and he veered to to right on many issues writing mostly what the National Post readers wanted to hear.

From the CBC to National Post who would have thunk it?

His language skills were erudite and sophisticated. But his right wing opinions? Not so much.

And charles your stuck and stalled in the left lane. Rex switched lanes. Imagine that someone willing to think outside of the box and maybe change. Don't be afraid charles to be wrong sometimes.

He was paid to switch lanes in the National Post.

And he got old and conservative like so many who can't keep up with their ideas and thinking as the world changes..

So says the bigoted farmer from the country!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

So instead of taking the high road, you doubled down on the character assassination and personal attacks whilw even his political opponents have the decency and respect to praise the late Rex murphy.
You are disgraceful.

The most telling part about this entire thread is that Chuck projects that the only reason to hold a public opinion i or change your opinion s because you are paid to do so. Not because people have convictions, ethics or morals.
Extrapolate what you will from that observation.

[chuckChuck]

A5, Who's paying you to hold dumbass opinions on CO2 and climate change?

Because anyone with any sense at all would not say more CO2 in the atmosphere will be good for us!

Who is paying YOU? To not question real world!
