“The government gives the CBC 1.5 billion dollars. The CBC used this money to make a show that tricked and shamed RCMP officers and people who support John A. Macdonald. The government needs to stop funding the CBC.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, the only thing worse than seeing left-wing activists in the media denigrate this country and its heroes is knowing that we Canadians had to foot the bill for it. The Liberals have heaped $1.5 billion on the CBC, and what is the CBC doing with this money? It is producing a show that lies, deceives and entraps Canadians who dare to disagree with the Liberals and dare to stand up for Sir John A. Macdonald and his legacy. Also, we have learned that this show, called Northland Tales, more like northland fails, entrapped brave men and women who have served this country in the RCMP, luring them into a CBC studio to berate and shame them for their service to this country. The CBC has said it is pausing the production, but that is not enough. When is the Liberal government going to turn off this tap on this unpatriotic, garbage propaganda?
