It is unacceptable for us to be forced to pay taxes to an organization that glorifies Omar Khadr.
Canadians are reacting with righteous anger following CBC’s appalling decision to feature Omar Khadr on Tout le monde en parle on Easter Sunday.
“Having a convicted Al Qaeda terrorist on the CBC the day of horrific suicide bombings by Islamic terrorists against Christians celebrating Easter Sunday marks the end of any sense of decency by Catherine Tait.”

“#OmarKhadr says his $10,500,000 payout was for “all of us”. Absolutely sickening. Also, he didn’t speak a word of French. I hadn’t seen an English-speaking guest on #tlmep before this. Has this happened on past shows?”

“The CBC planned for their Easter special in Quebec to feature Omar Khadr, the Al Qaida terrorist and war criminal. That’s horrific.
But even after the terrorist massacre of Christians in Sri Lanka, CBC proceeded to go to air. They didn’t swap that segment out, or postpone it.”

“#OmarKhadr is a terrorist who has refused to pay a dime of the court-ordered restitution to the widow of Christopher Speer, the American soldier he killed. And he is being applauded on state-owned Canadian TV. Our tax dollars at work. Disgusting,

This is sick.
As I said earlier, “Why the hell are we paying taxes to fund that garbage? Why should we give our hard-earned money to corrupt elites so they can glorify Omar Khadr and spit in the faces of Canadians?”
CBC must be DEFUNDED
There is now no possible justification for CBC to get our taxpayer dollars and run segments like their disgraceful Omar Khadr glorification.
That money would be far better spent on bringing the best communication infrastructure to rural and remote parts of Canada, ensuring all Canadians can speedily access the entertainment and info of their choice with best technology available, rather than forcing us to pay for garbage government-controlled content.
CBC must be defunded, and we need to bring pressure on the politicians to cut off the funding.

Any body that votes for TRUDEAU is not a canadian so remember that
I absolutely agree!
CBC=NO CLASS!!!
So right Spencer, CBC must go.
Omar Khadr’s statement the $10 million payout is for “all of us” Canadians must include the 158 Canadian soldiers who died during the 10 year Afghanistan combat? He surely is including the 1,800 Canadian wounded soldiers who fought against him and is terrorist comrades? The Canadian taxpayers would gladly accept his $10 million to help pay off the $18 billion dollars it cost to send our troops to fight in Afghanistan. My heart goes out to all the Canadian families of fallen soldiers who died as a result of fighting terrorists in Afghanistan. Cheering for a serial killing terrorist is… Read more »
Thee have been english speaking guests like Louise Penny last week but never a terrorist. A lot of people boycotted the program. The 2 guyshosting the show both Caviar Lefties. Shameful and disgusting.
Those 2 hosts are very arrogant and unfortunately there is a special “”peoplekind”” attached to that kind of show.
Let me get this straight, the CBC, brought this person on, celebrating a terrorist, who killed Sergeant First Class Field Medic, Christopher Speers, who left behind a wife, two children.
And permanently blinded Sergeant First Class Layne Morris, who both served in the United States Military?
@SpencerFernando
I think that it would be high time, for you to post up a statement on your YouTube page, we all support you on this position.
CBC – Left wing state controlled propaganda machine. Shut it down!
CBC should be dismantled, I do not want my tax dollars to go to Organization that puts A murderer and a terrorist on the air and treat him like he is special. Omar Khadr is disgusting individuals who should be in prison for his crimes, but we have a corrupt government that gives him 10 million dollars of our hard earned money. CBC and Trudeau should be ashamed!!!
Defunded is right. If CBC wants to befriend terrorists they can do it on their dime.
CBC is biased media without any integrity. My tax dollars should not go to this unethical new media. It is full of corrupted liberal sympathizers.
Why does this surprise anyone. By now we have deceived so many times and without anything from the opposition. Oh yes we will ask questions to show Canadians we are doing our job….REALLY ..at what cost to Canadians.. What media will ask the hard questions to Scheer. What laws has Trudeau broken? or will this be silenced as well.
So who do we contact to register our disgust? If anyone has a email address or phone number please post
thanks
Here is the contact for the CBC ombudsman. But I think contacting MPs and pushing for them to defund and criticize CBC for the Khadr segment is the best way to build pressure. http://www.ombudsman.cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/contact-us/
CBC has always been classless.. but this is a new low and as a ret. solider, i’m sicked and enraged by this disgusting example of virtue signalling.
I usually like the CBC but this SO wrong!!! Those who allowed this should be fired!!!
There has been tons of English only speaking guests at TLMEP. I didn’t listen to this show for quite a while but on the top of my head, I can mention: Kevin O’Reilly (despite coming from Montreal although he can understand partially French), Alice Cooper, Kiss members Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, Taylor Swift, etc.
However, special mentions to all those artists who came there without an impeccable French and gave it a shot like Shanaya Twain for exemple who spoke very good French but it was easier for her since she came from Timmins.
