Sorry, I don't understand the smelling salts reference but I assume it is non-positive. Is the CBC not controversial among a material percentage of the Canadian population currently? If winning an award from a respected institution provides one with a lifetime free pass, then please inform Harvey Weinstein of the news.

Is it insane to think that some country that is currently free may one day become non-free? It has happened before, so it is not clear by what logic you conclude that it can never happen again.

This isn't productive because your arguments are rather weak and now you are resorting to ad-hominems which is particularly distasteful.
