No Surprises Here

The CBC has refused to air Conservative attack ads on the grounds that airing political ads during non-election periods is a violation of their "strict guidelines".

Regardless of your opinion on the CBC's rules, they exist, they've been recently reviewed, and the corporation is following them.

"One Conservative source, speaking on background, said the party thought it was odd CBC would turn down its advertising dollars at a time when the network was struggling under financial pressures."

It is no surprise that the Conservatives don't respect principles - and are apparently confused by them.

Clearly.
