Conservatives OK to have used CBC footage in election attack ads, court rules

In his decision, Judge Michael Phelan found the party's use of the material on television and in four tweets in the run-up to the 2019 vote amounted to "fair dealing."

"The ultimate purpose was to mount a political campaign to secure votes to form a government," Phelan wrote. "The purpose was one of engaging in the democratic process. The evidence is that the use of the CBC works was for this legitimate political purpose."At issue were a Conservative ad and tweets that used clips from CBC news programming and from the leadership debates.

"The CBC, as a state owned enterprise, is being reasonable in its concern to neither be, nor appear to be, politically partisan," Phelan said. "There is no evidence to support the accusation that CBC is acting irrationally in protecting its rights." "There may be situations in the future where the manner of use and distribution of CBC material may adversely affect the CBC; however, that is not the case here," Phelan wrote. "Fear and speculation cannot ground a finding of unfairness."

I cannot stand the dumb attack ads! Period.

CBC only likes it when the Liberals use their footage in attack ads, no other party is allowed to. Just shows that the CBC are indeed Liberal hacks.

Trudeau has done a great job for Canadians, the conservatives misinformation tries to make it Trudeau is at fault for lack of supply without the fact this is not true? The companies had total control and lack of supply for the whole world and Trump stopped ALL vaccines leaving.
