[@vinasel96]

Of all the big issues facing our country, and CBC chooses to talk about transgenderism in India? I see why people want CBC defunded.

Triggered

[@dannygaskin5806]

Not triggered. .... Bored would be the word Princess.

[@SS-vs2nz]

They have nothing but contempt for the everyday Canadians. The first time I saw the phrase "so-called Canada" was on CBC. Think about that. Why are my tax dollars being used to tell stories of transsexuals in India for crying out loud.

CBC can’t go 1 day not talking about India. While they think everything under Trudeau is perfect.

[@cassandra-v4y]

WOKE

[@mck59er]

Putin says he's ready to use Nukes. CBC, let's talk about trans documentaries.... Canada is such an embarrassment now to the world.

[@nianly]
