How interesting that it has now risen to this level. Climategate? Quel Climategate?
This is a Radio Canada (RDI) reporter doing a live standup on CBC. That’s always a tough gig, I’ve done hundreds and you never know what the public around you is going to do.
Once I had to shove a person out of the shot who was grabbing for the microphone.
This of course is mild by comparison, but funny nonetheless.

Too funny, Oh My Gaia, my new name here is AllYourBase! I’d almost forgotten that one.
Fellow Canadians, the story is covered in the Toronto Sun, the Canada Free Press, the Globe and Mail and the Financial Post. I also have written to CBC and CTV to tell them what I think of their performance. However since I didn’t write it in French the CBC won’t read it. I doubt if they care anyway and I don’t watch them either so we are even. I did hear about the story tonight about the polar bears eating their cubs because there is no ice left. Right, at the end of Nov, there are no cubs and there is plenty of ice. I guess the story was on an American station and is out of season. I actually received a response from the Prime Minister’s office sending my email on to Jim Prentice. Now that the PM is going, Jim will have to send it back.
On behalf of the Right Honourable Stephen Harper, I would like to thank you for your e-mail, in which you raised an issue that falls within the portfolio of the Honourable Jim Prentice, Minister of the Environment.
Please be assured that the statements you made have been carefully reviewed. I have taken the liberty of forwarding your e-mail to Minister Prentice, so that he too may be made aware of your comments. I am certain that the Minister will give your views every consideration. For more information on the Government’s initiatives, you may wish to visit the Prime Minister’s Web site, at http://www.pm.gc.ca.

I know this is being bitchy but why is every single person who works for the government French Canadian?

@ur momisugly Daryl M (17:57:50) : They likely got pwn3d because they are computer illiterate. No doubt this exposure will help them catch up with a more contemporary approach to both computers and science.
Excellent work Wakeupmaggy.
Just to remind us all how we got into this whole mess in the first place – and the warmists are still at it – I quote Lewis Carroll himself:
“Just the place for a Snark! I have said it twice:
That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is true.”
FirstClassFool (17:42:12) :
Simply frabjous !
twawki (18:38:22) :
If the story is true there should be confirming stories elsewhere. I don’t like the tone of this particular article myself.
Major media is on the case, by golly:

BBC’s Paxman/NewsNight on ClimateGate:
Fred Singer and Lord Lawson make brief comments. Also, a scientist from Oxford finds a cute way of dismissing 10 years of no warming :
I have been on CBC’s and Globe and Mail’s message boards tilting at Quixotes since these files came to light….
To say we as Canadians feel condescended upon, would be an understatement…
Many of us believe our Liberal Party has “Maurice Strong” ties to the clima-fascist movement…
Being that the CBC was staffed for many years by Liberal governments, it is essentially the Liberal Party’s mouth piece… They help the NDP too, our little socialist rump party…
I think this issue is really going to help the Conservative party of Canada (who have ideological warts as such) get a Majority finally…
I invite anybody to come to the CBC or Globe forums… Good fun shooting fish in a barrel…
BobMbx (17:28:25) :
A French newscast with an English-language protest sign…huh.
I don’t speak French. What was the reporter saying?
——————————————————-
It’s French Canadian…. Even the French don’t know what they’re saying;-)
Google :
Quebec Bill 101
Bloc Quebecois
Just to get a gist of the crap we have to put up with here… Most of the rest of Canada could care less if Quebec separates… They can take their debt with them…
Blue Necks are some of the most racist people in the world too…
But they aren’t all bad… Just the racist and/or separatist douche bags

Nonsense. Certainly not true for TV broadcasts on the CBC French service.
Part 2 from BBC’s Paxman/NewsNight on ClimateGate.
A six minute interview with Fred Singer and Bob Watson. Jeremy Paxman is surprisingly fair toward Fred Singer.
Any bets on the relative amount of airtime in the MSM for Climategate vis-à-vis the Tiger Woods fender-bender?
I’m putting the grandkids’ college fund on Woods.
The mainstream media have become the enemy of the people with this story.
I say let them have their rope.
The following is from a computer analyst going through the code;
For those of you who have been stigmatizing AGW skeptics as “deniers” and dismissing their charges that the whole enterprise is fraudulent? Hope you like the taste of crow, because I do believe there’s a truckload of it coming at you. Piping hot.
This, people, is blatant data-cooking, with no pretense otherwise. It flattens a period of warm temperatures in the 1940s 1930s — see those negative coefficients? Then, later on, it applies a positive multiplier so you get a nice dramatic hockey stick at the end of the century.
All you apologists weakly protesting that this is research business as usual and there are plausible explanations for everything in the emails? Sackcloth and ashes time for you. This isn’t just a smoking gun, it’s a siege cannon with the barrel still hot.

Mann, Jones, and the rest of the unskeptical IPCC authors; their fate is sealed. It’s just a matter of time now. They have weeks and days left, not months.
The media has a choice of weather to go down with the USS Climate Change, or take after the President and pitch the phony science under the bus.
Myself, I’d rather they sink.
Re: maarten (18:19:13)
There’s a paradox. The BC carbon tax is about easing traffic congestion in Vancouver and minimizing the 2010 Olympic deficit [2 things that appeal to smart, wealthy right-wing voters]. The “BC Liberals” are not associated with the federal Liberals (despite deliberate federal media efforts to confuse Canadians about this); “right-wing” is presently “done differently” in BC [i.e. restrained coyness as opposed to the ruthless hyperpartisan approach that defines the right elsewhere] to ensure the right-wing elite retain power. Don’t be fooled by the loudly-screaming NDP & Green protestors (which, in practice, contribute only to keeping the left divided in Canada, which means ongoing right-wing rule). …& don’t forget about Quebec!
This was the headline of the CBC coverage on climagegate:
Hackers skewed climate-change emails: scientists
http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2009/11/26/climate-change-hack.html
Notwhere in the contents does it explain how hackers skewed the emails. It is not acceptable that an agency funded by taxpayers would show such bias reporting. I hope someone’s head rolls for this.
Or, just simply ” owned ” (as in “I own your a**; you are owned!”).
Not really difficult and I confess to being over five-oh and _not_ a gamer.

The only place I’ve heard it hear in Vancouver is on CKNW on the weekends with Roy Green, http://www.630ched.com/HostsandShows/RoyGreen.aspx, syndicated out of Montreal.
The Mon – Fri morning host, bill good, openly admitted, he deems the skeptic side not worth covering when Hoggan was on the program. He and mgmt. promptly got an e-mail from me letting him know I could not longer trust him as he can’t present both sides and he had lost a viewer.
The mainstream press may be silent but google hits on ClimateGate now tally 11,400,000 … another massive daily increase. Amazing how 15 years ago, without common access to the net, almost no one would have heard about it.
ClimateGate is now bigger than “global warming” with only 9,880,000 hits.
As a Canadian taxpayer, I am appalled at the CBC’s news blackout. Are we now living in East Germany of the ’50’s? Is Canadian television for propaganda and not news? Will the Stasi burst open my door and confiscate my computer as I am typing these words?
The lesson that we Canadian taxpayers can draw from this massive fraud and its coverup is that any time any MP or MLA, let alone the Prime Minister or any member of his Cabinet, says anything positive about “global warming”, or refers to “climate change” to justify some action, they are quite simply….LYING TO US.
