The colour commentator on these #CBC Gem #university #hockey games sounds a lot like former WWF wrestler, the late "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig.

I'm waiting for him to, at any moment, challenge Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake to a no holds barred steel cage match.

What's with not having the latest #MurdochMysteries on #CBCGem
Been watching #Olympics since the 1960s. Have watched none of these #WinterGames. Why? Because we dropped cable TV year ago, and #CBC is forcing viewers to its #CBCGEM App for streaming and replays. All videos and feeds I have tried to watch direct me to download the App. GEM, in my opinion, is a privacy-invading, data-grabbing, viewer-profiling tool. CBC's website is one of the worst I've ever checked with https://themarkup.org/blacklight. Trackers, beacons and browser profiling. I wrote CBC once to complain about the tracking and its response was infuriating - ignoring my concerns and teling me that all of that was necessary... for them. I said, as a pubicly-funded national broadcaster, I felt it had a responsibility not to abuse that position and power, and people should have a choice to opt out of the surveilance. CBC disagreed. I read CBC news coverage on-line every day - with a pivacy-oriented browser and tracking protection. But no TV shows, and apparently, no Winter Games for me.

CBC Gem crashes due to Canadians using it

TORONTO – With record numbers of Canadians viewing the Winter Olympic Games on CBC Gem, the streaming platform experienced several outages due to what’s being called “an unprecedented number of people actually willing to watch something on it.”

How many shots of Snoop Dog does the CBC need? 🙄

I had heard about this show, but hadn’t bothered to watch any of it until recently. What provided the shove was seeing “Saint Pierre,” Allan Hawco’s latest show, and thinking what else has this guy done? Oh! That was also his show? Well then…

This is great storytelling, with a soupçon of regional peculiarities. Having a familial connection with the city of St John’s helps, but no one could be left uncharmed by the people and their generous nature and yearning for doing the right thing.

The characters, writing, direction, acting, all are worth your while.

Highly recommended.

The last 20 minutes of CBC’s live midnight countdown show for Vancouver last night was embarrassingly bad. Absolute rubbish, time wasting filler with no entertainment value at all. The countdown hitting zero was so deflating as a result.

I guess they used up all their budget and good presenters for other provinces/cities.
