The Canadian state media outlet, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), responds to the tensions of the Canada-USA relationship by telling all state funded journalists: “Do not refer to the Sept. 11 attacks as terrorist attacks.”
According to the internal communication: “The memo instead described the 9-11 events as hijackings that led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania and Manhattan. It also said the World Trade Center was destroyed. {citation}
CANADA – The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on Thursday defended an internal memo directing its reporters and editors to refrain from describing the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks as “terrorist attacks,” telling Fox News Digital the guidance reflected its longstanding practice of attributing terms it considers politically and emotionally loaded.
“It is the practice of the CBC to exercise extreme caution before using the words ‘terrorist’ and ‘terrorism,'” CBC Public Affairs Director Kerry Kelly said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “The memo was a reminder of the longstanding practice that favours the use of these terms with attribution in our reporting.”
The memo was authored by Basem Boshra, CBC News’ senior director of journalistic standards and public trust, and surfaced ahead of the attacks’ 25th anniversary. The directive was first reported by Toronto Sun columnist Warren Kinsella, who said it was addressed to CBC News staff. “Do not refer to the Sept. 11 attacks as terrorist attacks,” the memo said.
The memo instead described the events as hijackings that led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania and Manhattan. It also said the World Trade Center was destroyed. (read more)
There is nothing more typically representative of a Canadian than taking the petty approach on any issue.
TRUE STORY: A hotel manager in Europe once asked me, “are you Canadian?” I replied, no, I’m American. We then struck up a conversation. He was a polite fellow. After some small talk he told me he knew I was American, but the general rule of thumb is to always ask if a person is Canadian because if you ask an American if they are Canadian, they will simply reply as I did. However, if you ask a Canadian if they are American the guest will go bananas. So, they just ask everyone if they are Canadian.
The Canadians will tell you that everyone around the world loves them. Maybe that’s true, but everyone I’ve ever talked to said they don’t like Canadians because they’re self-centered and complain about stuff. Terrible tippers too.
Lol, love it. That will really drive them bananas!
This is so funny. Heads are exploding. FAFO Carney and company.
Well hell, what are we going to do about the Wreck Of The Edmond Fitzgerald lyrics? lol
I know for sure Building 7 wasn’t a terrorist attack.
I know our defenses were stood down by Dick Cheney.
“Some people did something” – Ilhan Omar, US citizen, unfortunately
US citizen, for now…
Please don’t tease. I want that woman gone like you wouldn’t believe.
Her whole F’ing family too.
That can be changed if it is proven she committed fraud to obtain US citizenship. I would like to see her frog-marched out of the halls of congress in handcuffs.
The CIA director warned Bush and Condolezza Rice that an attack was in the works. He was ignored.
Yes. And a “plane” hit the Pentagon. Killed a few people in the auditor’s office, and destroyed a lot of records the day after Donald Rumseld held a press conference that there were trillions spent that were unaccounted for.
quick clean-up on that pentagon one
no, luggage, seats, wings or fuselage
weird
Notably no big pieces of debris either from those large jet engines typical of airliners.
Those are not easily missed.
I think we have a winner, plus double indemnity on the WTC Insurance, Neil B having the security firm for WT. The IRS and FBI had a couple of serious fraud investigations going on regarding investment banking fraud matters in #7, with that Pentagon audit that had been moved to the SDNY. Goes on and on.

Just because it wasnt one of the 19 muslims doesnt make it not terrorism…
“The memo was authored by Basem Boshra, CBC News’ senior director of journalistic standards and public trust” – smh
It’s not a rarity that one of them is riding high in Canadian govt. If their people don’t get loud now, their time will pass.
To quote Greta Thunberg “How dare you”.!
Who knew Basem Boshra, a muslim man of Egyptian heritage, censored Canadian Broadcasting Company from describing the 911 Muslim attackers as terrorists. He is the CBC senior director of journalistic standards and public trust.
First thing that stood out for me.
<The memo was authored by Basem Boshra, CBC News’ senior director of journalistic standards and public trust.>
Limited bio info online, but…
Montreal Gazette article says he was born in Egypt in the ’70s.
Canada don’t want to offend the CCP.
Canadians are deserving of all that’s being stored up for them. Alberta, get out.
“There is nothing more typically representative of a Canadian than taking the petty approach on any issue.”
Truer words never written.
But WHY now?
It is so bizarre, a totally ridiculous “rewriting of history”
so it was just that those two buildings were in the way of the plane crashes?
The dear brave and beautiful people in the plane that crashed in Shanksville, PA who fought to wrest control of the plane or at least keep it from crashing into some other intended place, what has this idiot to say about THAT?
Keep Watch!! Jesus warns us.
So sick of how they arrogantly think they can tell us what to believe.
It works on the leftists so the commies won’t give up trying.
This 9/11 is the 25th anniversary.
Canada aside, keep your head on a swivel.
Thanks for the story, Sundance.
My travels have proven many times that regular folks around the globe can set aside the nonsense.
Granted, I have not traveled the ME.
I have not traveled the ME
At first glance, I took that to be Maine
Probably same in meaning if it were, no?
Middle East
For the obvious.
Yeah, I can confirm things are rough in Maine.
Not quite as bad as Tehran, but it’s not good.
Yep.
Carney apparently wants to cozy up with al-Qaeda and the rest of the terrorist groups. Since we (according to Carney) are at war, next, I suppose they will they be assisting the Muslim Brotherhood in infiltrating terrorists into the US, eh?
Who says they haven’t been doing that all along?
Well they are accepting a lot of families connected to high ranking IRGC members into Canada, that is not that much of a stretch.
Now I really do want to say, “Lake America”!
When will they want to take the “Saint” out of the “St. Lawrence Seaway” – or has that already happened?
Watch “The Looming Tower”. Multi part series about the lead up and ends with the attack on 9/11.
Canadian government be damned.
More brilliance from the land of loony (loonie) tunes.
“state funded journalists”
State funded?
Propagandists perhaps
Journalists, heck no
Seems almost all media is in this category, except Sundance, the Promethean (sp), and President Trump’s posts…used to watch Bannon but he’s into distractions now.
Rules for Radicals. They are dead to me….
They’re right.
They were FBI/CIA Attacks that used Muslim terrorists.
But it was our own Deep State who sent them.
terrorist attack

Wait a sec….
Does that mean the “ignorant/unlikeable American” trope has really been retarded canadians (they want to be petty? Ok. Lowercase c in reference to them from now on) all this time?!
Canada has only given the USA two good things: Ruby Keeler and Deanna Durbin. If we had their .9999 fine minting technique for silver, we’d be sitting pretty.
Add loud obnoxious to the petty terrible tipping Canucks and you land with the Aussies who have every bit, if not more, the anti-American fever. Most recently in SE Asia I was reminded of this. Had a great conversation with a lad from Manchester too. Then he had to ask, so I told him I voted for Trump, three times. He then paid his tab and stormed out. True story.
I just tell people that I don’t pay attention to politics anymore. It seems to settle that issue.
First order of business is to revoke the visas of all Canadian “journalists “ working in the US.
“ hijackings that led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania and Manhattan. It also said the World Trade Center was destroyed”
it would just be easier to write terrorist attack.
Hosers!
🪛 ‘em…….
” “Do not refer to the Sept. 11 attacks as terrorist attacks.””
So….leftists in Canada will no longer brag about helping us on 9/11 by accepting flights that were enroute to the US on that day?
I guess that part didn’t happen then?
I wonder if Canadians were involved in the invasion of Normandy? History could be rewritten. That’s their modus.
“Boating expedition experiences gunfire on French beach”
I love Canadians. I think everyone should own one.
Siding with Jihad?
If the CBC has facts to share, I’m open to listening. The “official” story doesn’t address the growing number of cited anomalies.
If they’re just trying to troll the USA like Trump trolls them… maybe come back on amateur night.
SD, you see them in Florida. It was nice that they stayed home during coronavirus. Constant whiners. But they can’t stay away and complain endlessly about President Trump. When they have me corralled around the pool or community grill, I ask them why they let President Trump rent space in their heads. That really sets them off.
“Terrible tippers” is an understatement. The Canadian snowbirds who inhabit my seaside town in the winter are notorious for their niggardly tipping.
the next ff more than likely doesn’t occur until the surveillance cameras and data centers are in full operation
they’ll then crash the equity markets like never seen before, 401k’s eviscerated
calamity, fear and chaos ensues, then comes cbdc’s to the rescue and you’re now chattel – at best, at least until you’re handed a one way boxcar ticket
we’re living in interesting times, so at least we got that going for us – which is nice
they want you:
dumb
diseased
drugged
destitute
de*d
got gold?
If it goes that way, people will be trading their gold for food in short order and less scrupulous people who know you have any stockpiles of food or gold will be looking to steal it from you. Over your corpse if need be.
One would also need consider brass, lead and steel. Again, if a lot of people know about such supplies, it will make things more difficult for yourself.
To be fair, the terrorist plane hijackers were just window dressing for the synchronized false flag op that caused true devastation on 9/11.
He is NOT a Canadian
Basem Boshra: an Egyptian Muslim immigrant who formerly served as editor at the Montreal Gazette. At the Montreal Gazette, Boshra spent a lot of time complaining about how Islamophobic Canadians were.
”The Jihad being waged against us by the entire Muslim world. We welcomed in its operatives and loyalists from the Muslim world and the ones who aren’t bombing us are helping the ones who are. There are disagreements over tactics, not long term objectives.
At the heart of it all is a drive to bring down the western world and replace it with an Islamic one”

Canada’s smackdown cannot come soon enough. But this brings up a good point that folks need to be reminded of. This bs by the CBC is exactly what will happen here in the country if the Dems regain control of the government. Go back and look at Pelosi’s HR1. It included federal subsidies of the legacy media. Of course, there is worse in that bill. They must not be allowed to be in charge ever again.
LOL, just more confirmation that the media in Canada is controller by the Peoples Republic of China.

“‘We bear witness. But CBC News does not itself designate specific groups as terrorists, or specific acts as terrorism, regardless of the region or the events, because these words are so loaded with meaning, politics and emotion that they can end up being impediments to our journalism,’ Fenlon said.
The public guidance specifically said CBC preferred ‘the Sept. 11 attacks’ or similar language. It applied the same approach to the 2005 London bombings, the 2004 Madrid train bombings and the 2011 bombing at a Moscow airport, unless the terrorism label was attributed.”
Note the passive language: the CBC claims it can’t use the word “terrorism” unless the “label was attributed.” By whom is such an attribution made? At no point in the CBC’s defensive explanation is there any discussion as to who or what is the responsible authority for making such an attribution.
Since the explanation itself points to examples where the CBC has not labeled attacks as terrorism despite those attacks being carried out by organizations the Canadian Government identifies as terrorist bodies, the ultimate authority for making such a decision is the CBC itself.
In other words, the CBC is stating it cannot apply the word “terrorism” because the CBC refuses to attribute the “terrorist label.”
They can’t do it, because they won’t do it. That is the justification they expect you and I to accept as rational and legitimate.
Demons in governments sure love their personal monetization .
