Doug Ford has a plan to hit Trump hard. And it’s good.
Ford has laid out a plan to hit the United States hard in response to Trump’s attack on Canada’s economy and sovereignty. You could write a book about Ford’s failures — but his approach to dealing wit...

Fenlon straw-manning the criticism something fierce here. And I can’t think of a profession aside from journalism where “I made a lot of people really angry today, I must have done something right!” is standard. Hear this from your plumber, Brodie, and then get back to me.
My latest editor’s blog on how a program sparked a wave of protest before it aired yesterday: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
How a CBC discussion on Trump's '51st state' threat drew hundreds of complaints — before it even aired | CBC News
What prompted the anger (and, in a few cases, startling claims CBC was engaged in 'treason,' 'sedition' and 'betrayal') were two things: the program title and the proposed question to the audience.

Last fall, a blizzard of ads started running on Meta, targeting a tiny collection of postal codes in Southern Ontario. The ads seemed low-budget, independent. They weren't.
In reality, the ads were coordinated by a PR firm with strong Conservative Party ties.

Hey CBC, don’t do this.
It’s not a “proposal.” Having different wording on your website won’t diminish the harm done by having Canada’s national broadcaster treat this as a serious conversation (see below for how it’s being portrayed on the relatively sane CPAC…).
Pull out of this disaster now.

Here’s how to fix this. Just call the show “why are Canadians so pissed off at us, at NPR, at NYT, and anyone else who thinks it’s a fun thought experiment to annex our country?” Then let Canadians call in and tell you why they’re mad. And make the Americans listen. Don’t ever say “51st state.”
There have been a few times when Checkup has been hammered on social media for a program we haven't done yet. I'm in a show meeting right now. The gap between what's being posted and what we're actually planning is enormous. Our regular listeners should expect the same care we use for every show.

I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps.
But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation.
