After 14 hours, this government-funded comedy tweet has two replies and 3,900 impressions. Why are we paying $1.5 billion/year in tax dollars for unfunny losers to tweet? (We all know why: so these government βcomediansβ can heckle Conservatives in the election. As a βjokeβ.) https://t.co/TtDYkjG4Rs
Governing party posting clips of a government comedian attacking the leader of the opposition. So, still think we need to keep funding CBC to do Trudeaus political work? https://t.co/oensZy12pI
You are paying taxes so that some failed comedian who can't cut it in real life got hired by Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster to write "jokes" like this on Twitter. Unfunny comedians are like salt that isn't salty. What exactly are they, other than people living off our taxes? https://t.co/7qoaFP7l2x
You paid for this tweet through your tax dollars. $1.5 billion in annual subsidies. A government comedian is about as funny as you'd expect them to be. https://t.co/AdkPzHkjPC
Why are your taxes so high? Because $1.5 billion/year goes to Trudeau's CBC state broadcaster, which hires government comedians to write "jokes". Seriously, this is a Government of Canada joke, paid for by taxpayers. It's unfunny, because the laugh's on us. https://t.co/hVkJgAi7lV
