By 2025, she demands that all ''companies with whom she does business to ensure that at least one key creative position – producer, director, writer, showrunner and lead performer – is held by members of visible minorities, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities and members of the LGBT community''
In 2019 she compared Netflix to colonialism in India and Africa.
"I was thinking about the British Empire and how, if you were there and you were the viceroy of India, you would feel that you were doing only good for the people of India. Or similar, if you were in French Africa, you would think, I’m educating them, I’m bringing their resources to the world, and I’m helping them. There was a time when cultural imperialism was absolutely accepted. Fast forward to what happens after imperialism and the damage that can do to local communities. So all I would say is, let us be mindful of how it is we as Canadians respond to global companies coming into our country."
This year she laid off 10% of the CBC's workforce, cutting 600 positions to deal with a a $125-million budget deficit, but wouldn't rule out paying CBC executives huge bonuses.
''Over $99 million in bonuses was awarded to employees at the public broadcaster between 2015 and 2022.''
''CBC defines its bonus program as a 'short-term incentive plan.'''
She supports Twitter censorship.
“As head of a media organization which values freedom of speech and of the press, I would prefer that Twitter take meaningful action on its own to address this problem,” wrote Tait.
She is working with the Trudeau government to create legislation to deal with “online hate.”
“We have been sharing our mounting concerns with the Canadian government, which is proposing legislation to address online hate. There is significant public support for such legislation,” wrote Tait.
on CBC Kids News, her network explains drag queens to kids.
Here are some DEI programs at the CBC that she created.
She commits to racial quotas in her DEI plan.
''Half of all new hires for executive and senior management positions will be Indigenous people, racialized people, or people with disabilities''
''retention and promotion rates for people from these three groups will be doubled''
In addition to her ~$500k salary last year, while the CBC ran a budget deficit of $125 million, she ran up $119,309 in personal expenses.
''Expenses included $12,841 for a 2022 Tokyo conference of Public Broadcasters International; $12,673 for a 2022 European tour to London, Brussels and Geneva; $12,220 to Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2021 for discussions with the International Olympic Committee; $10,334 for a 2023 Prague conference of Public Broadcasters International; $9,841 for a 2022 trip to Hollywood for meetings with production industry representatives; and $9,648 for a 2022 trip to London for a discussion on threats facing journalists.''
During the Canadian trucker 'Freedom Convoy', the CBC repeatedly spread the conspiracy theory that 'Russian actors' were potentially funding and fueling the protests
According to the CBC's gender transition/affirmation guide, EVERYONE MUST USE PROPER NAMES AND PRONOUNS TO ADDRESS THE TRANSITIONING EMPLOYEE.
It could be hurtful to refer to someone by the wrong name and pronouns once you have established which set they prefer.

Earlier this year, a team of European researchers with @I4Replication published, ''Understanding Cultural Persistence and Change: A Replication of Giuliano and Nunn (2021)''
‘‘This replication … identifies major discrepancies between several econometric specifications described in the article and their corresponding code. We are able to correct most of these mistakes by realigning the code with the text. Once corrections are implemented, we obtain almost invariably a smaller and non-significant coefficient for climatic variability.’’
The 2024 British Columbia provincial election just took an explosive turn.
Conservative candidate @Scrase has abruptly resigned after a series of mean tweets surfaced, tweets denouncing kids being exposed to ''pup play'' fetishists at Pride parades.
Just a few hours ago, @Scrase was "cancelled" by @JasJohalBC , a journalist in Vancouver and former Liberal Member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia.
Johal unearthed four (just four!) of Scrase’s old tweets, and despite how thin the substance of this political hitjob was, the hit was remarkably effective. These 4 tweets ended Scrase’s political career.
Prince Edward Island is the most Scottish province, and perhaps the most ethnically Scottish place anywhere in the world outside Scotland. When combined with Irish and Welsh, almost 80% of islanders have some Celtic stock.
Earlier this month, @amconmag published an article in which I refuted @mcuban's crusade to convince the public that companies hiring board members based on ethnicity is a profitable endeavor.
Cuban responded.
Now... will he accept a debate with @realchrisrufo?
''Krish Pai, 17, of Del Mar, California, received the second Regeneron Young Scientist Award of $50,000 for his machine-learning research to identify microbial genetic sequences that can be modified to biodegrade plastic. His new software, called Microby, scans databases of microorganisms and determines which ones can be changed genetically to biodegrade plastics. In tests, he identified two microorganisms that can be genetically modified to degrade plastic at a cost he believes would be ten times less than traditional recycling.''
On April 5th, @nathancofnas was fired from Emmanuel College at @Cambridge_Uni after arguing that conservatives must accept ‘‘race realism” in order to defeat “the woke left”
Today, the most famous philosophers in the world came out in support of Cofnas' free speech
THREAD🧵:
On February 5th, Cofnas published a Substack article arguing that in order for conservatives to defeat “the woke left” they must accept ‘‘race realism”
I would recommend not only reading it, but also reading all 200+ comments at the bottom of it.
