Disappointed in CBC (territory, between, coverage)

To maximize the curmudgeon factor....a totally different part of a bear's anatomy is bothering him.

I've got "y" fronts older than most of you whippersnappers. After four years overseas during WWII, my pappy came home and celebrated by brewing yours truly. The quintessential "boomer" in thought ,word and gaseous deeds.

I figured you were older as many of your posts read like Chaucer... only more cryptic

I would of thought the rest of them would know that you wear the curmudgeon crown around here.

I'm taking that as a compliment second only to being told I've got a good backswing.

Thank you.

It fell to me by default I think...…... Because I'm older and grumpier than the rest.

Think of it as tenure. You're really more like the Chief Justice.

Can't comment on coverage on the east coast, but they do plenty of coverage on BC's provincial elections.

All media outlets are biased to a point. CBC less so than most IMO.

I'm in Alberta.

There is a hell of a lot of Canada between the "center of the universe" and BC. Why would they ask someone in Toronto about issues in western Canada but they do. I deduce it's because they don't want to spend any money getting the information from western Canadians besides it is easier to ask someone in their own territory. That is totally unacceptable. No wonder there is a separation movement in my province. We could easily say Sask would join us on this.
