National public broadcaster CBC/Radio-Canada just dropped on Wednesday its annual financial results for 2022-2023, period ending March 31, 2023. The firm finished the fiscal year with a net loss of $125.1 million, a decline from last year’s net loss of $92.1 million. The loss for the year is driven by around $1.91 billion in operating expenses, which is relatively a decline from last year’s $2.01 billion. For the recent annual period, it received around $1.27 billion in government funding, an increase from last year’s $1.24 billion. The difference is mainly due to a transfer from 2021-2022 operating funding to 2020-2021 of around $36.7 million, and a lower amortization of deferred capital funding in the recent year.

The amount of sea ice that persists throughout the summer also affects how thick ice will grow in the Arctic in the winter. Ice that builds on an existing layer of ice can grow thicker than ice that grows seasonally from scratch. Summer sea ice in the Arctic naturally shrinks in the summer. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC), Arctic summer sea ice dwindled to 4.23 million square kilometres on Sept. 19 — the sixth lowest extent on a 45-year record. ‘Smooth sailing’ on Northwest Passage routeDwindling summer sea ice is also changing how ships can travel through the Arctic.

The CBC, in particular, has come under scrutiny because it is a government-funded body to the tune of more than $1 billion a year. Twelve days ago, a CBC internal memo was sent to staff right after the attack happened, reminding journalists not to use the word “terrorists” or “terrorism” without attribution, when writing their stories. The CBC says it is not alone in insisting its team not call the Hamas gunmen terrorists: the BBC doesn’t either. What we talked aboutRead the CBC blog by Brodie Fenlon, editor-in-chief of CBC News, explaining the reasoning why they won’t call Hamas terrorists. We’re a member of The CJN Podcast Network.

But instead, its leaders have chosen to fund terrorism, incite their population against peace with Israel and reject peace offers made by Israel. Before long, Khouri began making a false moral equivalence between Israel and Hamas, the genocidal terrorist group which intentionally targets innocent people for murder. Consequently, Israel seeking to degrade Hamas’ capabilities to kill is somehow comparable to Hamas’ indiscriminate murder of 1,400 innocent Israelis on October 7. Since Hamas’ mega terrorist attack in early October, multiple media outlets have fallen into the lazy trap of comparing Hamas’ murders with Israel’s attempts to defend itself. Please refer to the program’s October 15 broadcast interview with Raja Khouri and Jeffrey Wilkinson, a Palestinian-Canadian and a Jewish-Canadian, respectively, who accused Israel of oppressing Palestinians and who morally equated Israel & Hamas.

Just watched Blood Beach this weekend with a friend and Burt Young is in it. When he popped up we had the "is he still alive?" I really did think he was dead, but think that's because he always seemed old and run down. Movie isn't that great, but he's definitely enjoyable. One of those clear they just let him do his own thing type performances.

Discussions around science and technology can become controversial, such as public conversations around climate science or gene-editing tools. Polarizing informationThe consequences of allowing issues in science and technology to be so polarized that we don’t talk about them include economic impacts, Canada falling behind in applied and basic scientific research and responsible technology development. We need to have direct conversations about scientific research, progress, experts and expertise, and new technologies that may become critically important to society in the future. For instance, if we ask “do you trust scientists,” do you think about scientists generally or are you thinking of a specific scientist? Trust is critical to the advancement of science itself and science in the advancement of society.

VANCOUVER AUTHOR AND theatre artist Emelia Symington Fedy journeys back to her small hometown of Armstrong, B.C. Skid Dogs ends up being an unfiltered rumination on consent, and a time and place when girls were blamed for whatever happened to them if the got drunk. They need to learn the skill of building complicated relationships, relying on neighbours, and appreciate something as simple as “seasons”. How has theatre informed your memoir writing, and where do both sit in your practice—are they separate or intertwined? This is what I demand of men, and what I want girls to demand of boys, my own included.
