CBC's Kevin O'Leary gets schooled on #Occupy Wall Street movement by Chris Hedges

[Horicert]

O'Leary represents the continuing degeneration of the CBC. I don't see the trend stopping anytime soon, unfortunately.

[robelicit]

don't worry; Kevin wimp-O-should be LEARY of what the world will be like when 99percent of the US is in poverty. He can lie to fools on tv, but picture him trying to lie at the "Pearly Gates" so to speak---one day guys like him will have a son or daughter or elderly relative in massive sickening poverty, & he'll cry like a baby. He is a toddler.

[mastertheillusion]

Kevin O'Leary should be fired from the CBC.

[ADoseofReality1]

Kevin is that he is either blind or willfully ignorat to the problems that are festering in the overall banking systems of Europe and the US. He doesnt ever mention how low interest rates for long peroids of time, the flow of easy credit and lack of savings hurts an economy. Canada is fairing better then some other places around the globe but we are far from being on fire. We did have stimulas spending, we do have low interest rates that hurts savers. He is delusional. His attitude sucks.

wooooiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnn you called me a nutbar woin woin woin woin woin. thumbs up for kevin oleary hahahhahahahhaha

[LeQuebecQuebecois]

I have been on Dragon's den with my yogakayak and got insulted by Oreily. Then fascist CBC edited the segment so my awakening product look like a failure. Oreily is a crook that fooled MAtell to suck 1 billion out of this nice company. He is a predatory Grrdy dishonest vulture that should be stopped as soon as possible. He is dangerous and associated to the wall street gang to assault Canada.

[eatlikehobbit]

I like people who makes a joke of themselves, publicly.

Why is O'Leary on CBC making it look like FoxNews?!?

[molecularash]

OWNED

[anne9767]

Thank you Mr. Hedges, please overlook Mr. O'Leary, he is just a silly business guy who has somehow found his way to our Canadian news outlets. We want him gone as much as you do.

[MsJessicatheRabbit]

I love that he compared them to fox news !

[louloub5]

omg, hes the nutbar! our chartered banks received 75 billion 4 days before election! in canada......that news man needs a course!

[inquisitum]

O'Leary is a creature intoxicated by his own sense of importance and is a ungrateful. arrogant and boorish individual. He seems to be so blinded by greed that I do not believe he could be trusted to hand out Hallowe'en candy to the kids without his pilfering the best treats from the bowl for himself. He is one of the saddest TV personalities to rise in recent memory. "Show Me the Money, O'Leary" - shame on you.

[sesopenko]

That's the sound of a billionaire (Kevin O'Leary) being defensive of the unethical practices he's personally performed in.

[jwils924]

I'm a conservative Canadian and think Kevin O'Leary is an embarressment. Chris Hedges makes some really good points.

[Bullion4]

Also, if anybody could link me to the John Ralston Saul piece Hedges mentioned, I'd appreciate it.

[lancois1]

@Bullion4 Unconcious Civilization

[Bullion4]

CBC has been a joke for a long time. CBC radio is good but CBC TV is brutal. They give idiots like O'Leary their own shows, not to mention nobody under the age of 65 watches any CBC original programming. If it wasn't for hockey and Strombo, I wouldn't watch at all. These numbers might be incorrect but I've heard CBC recieves $1 billion from the government annually. That's disgusting.

[awaldegrave]

Protesters should focus on changing this

Its all government workers that should be the targeted

With way to high of pensions , Milking the hard worker

Mayors, who borrow money for the city, Then have to Jack up property taxes ..

The cop that calls in sick,so his cop buddy in called in to work at time and a half.

Then the cop that was getting time and a half calls in sick so they can return the favor.

This happens with nurses and fire dept,And the 100's of city workers leaning on there shovels.

[BExxFRee]

Chris you are my new hero <3 And CBC, you are embarrassing

[s5182865]

Contact CBC, tell them Kevin O'Leary is not the voice of Canadians, and should not be on CBC.

[s5182865]

Kevin O'Leary, same as Bill O'Reilly. Never thought I would see this on CBC, maybe CTV, now that Bell owns it.

[seathanaich1]

O'Leary embarrassed himself in this piece, and was forced to reduce his rhetoric. Mr Hedges is correct in that we should be debating ideas based upon merit, not name-calling and 'sound bites'. I'm not "left-leaning", but since when is that the insult that Mr O'Leary seems to think it is?

[Snaz776]

CBC for shame! Apologise to your guest and dump Kevin O'Leary.

[Squeaks90]

Obama. :)

[rkkim]

WTF? I thought Canada was to the left of the US. I guess Stephen Harper is really doing a number on you guys.

[Korgan6]

We need to spread this video around not only because Chris Hedges makes some great arguments but to show Canadians what a hack O'Leary is.

[rafchacon]

Kevin O'Leary what a ass. Journalist should only be reporting news and facts not how they personally feel about a person . He was acting like a 5 year old calling names. CBC has always been a reliable source of reporting but this looks so much like FOX news. CBC should be ashamed to resemble anything like to the FOX news and behave like Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck. We are Canadian lets show some class

[towerisland]

As Kevin O'Leary embarrassed himself in this interview, he embarrassed Canadians. I truly don't think he's a good fit for CBC.

[aliar]

i love that the stock market roll is playing during the whole thing, wtf

[BBOND2000]

Regardless of whether Mr. O'Leary agrees or disagrees with Mr.Hedges' opinion/ reasoning, there is absolutely no excuse for Mr. O'leary name calling.

Infact these days we could more accurately refer to his remarks as "Bullying.

Mr. O'Leary does not represent me and certainly does not reflect what we, the Citzens of Canada expect from the Ambassadors of Our Public Broadcasting Corporation.

[moonrox777]

I'M CANADIAN AND THESE NEWZ PEOPLE ARE FUKIN STOOOPID!!! O'LEARY YOU ARE A NUT BAR AND AN EXTREMELY RUDE IDIOT!! IT DOES SOUND LIKE FUKS NEWZ!!! O'LEARY GO DOWN!!!

[gifthorselove]

O'Leary is an insult to humanity

[pFhUCKpFhACE]

That is so very disappointing. I once had respect for CBC, but if this is the kind of tabloid/trash "news" that they're going to peddle, then they will be soon considered the FAUX "news" of the North.

They would do well to get rid of that idiot loud mouth, Kevin O'Leary, and go back to actually being real journalists, as they once were. This horse-sh!t was just a cheap attempt to garner ratings...again, something FAUX "news" is all too well known for. Sad.

[Papwithanhatchet]

O'Leary should be fired for this. Insulting guests on Canada's PUBLIC, TAYPAYER FUNDED broadcaster?

What a small, petty man.

[ericclaptonismygod31]

@Papwithanhatchet Alright. Cut the CBC and save some taxes for the social programs.

[Papwithanhatchet]

@ericclaptonismygod31 More like in: fire O'Leary and use his taxpaying-Canadian-citizen paid salary to help them find a better qualified and civilly articulate host for CBC shows. Throw in Don Cherry's salary, too.

[ericclaptonismygod31]

@Papwithanhatchet Right. Steal more money from the working popeulation to feed the government sector. Get rid of the voices you do not agree with and fill programming with your goose-stepping friends on the left.

[Papwithanhatchet]

@ericclaptonismygod31 You ever heard of the BBC? You know the world-reknowned, PUBLICLY FUNDED British broadcaster? The one the CBC is modelled after?

I see goose-stepping and it certainly isn't coming from the CBC or the left. Honk honk, eh, ericclaptonismygod31?

You like O'Leary? The defender of massive wealth and deregulation? One of the 1% you will NEVER achieve? And Cherry? The supporter of military actions and violence no matter how folly? Gooood for yoooouuu.

[ericclaptonismygod31]

@Papwithanhatchet You stupid pinko. It is the working and business people who create the wealth that the government has to steal to fund the CBC and BBC. The wealth comes from the private sector, you silly Commie. What we have seen since the 1970s stagflation is people keeping more of their earnings.

Make the CBC more open and representative, bring the western bill payers into the opinion formation. You Occupy babies need a few more years.

[Papwithanhatchet]

@ericclaptonismygod31 First, your assumptions of my political affiliations makes you a foolish loudmouth partisan and I'm only interested in discussing the facts of the issues.

Second, it is small business (worldwide) and natural resources (in Canada at least) which create wealth.

Third, CBC is open and transparent already but what you fundamentalists are asking for is their competitive model to be exposed.

You're ridiculous and goodbye.

[ericclaptonismygod31]

@Papwithanhatchet Get a job!

[Papwithanhatchet]

@ericclaptonismygod31 Fuck off, idiot.

[SoulClappinBhoy]

Hedges took his lunch and showed O'Leary for the asshole he is.

[jibbi4one]

O'Leary or O'Reilly why so O'Disgusting at interviews?

O'Leary sounds like an inferior snakeoil salesman huckster.LOL

[TheConspiracyQueen]

Great respect for Mr Hedges. His responses made me yearn for more educated, mannered discourse that once was. Mr. O'Leary unfortunately did come across as the Don Cherry of Finance

[fahrout4]

This condescending prick belongs on Fox News. He's a O'Rielly wannabe and doesn't belong in Canada! He's an a**hole!!!

[myfbody]

o`leary is a corporate shill, paid for by Canadians. It`s time Canadians stopped funding these morons. Call or write your MP.

[trespassfilm]

Wow. I'm shocked that I guy like Kevin O'Leary actually works for CBC.

[skarpes]

Kevin O'Leary is a rude jerk-off. The guy insults a Pulitzer Prize winner, name-calling like a tool. What is the point of that? What a moron.

[gearlockT]

this is so good, just tell it how it is and make O'Leary look like a schmuck!!!

[gearlockT]

@Buddy3315 HAHAHAH!! Nice!

[boneymaroni28]

Kevin O'Leary is an arrogant ass & Fox news wantabe. I will never watch Dragon's den again.. Bravo Chris Hedges for telling the truth.

[arkboy3]

The TRUE conservatives like William F Buckley, would have SPAT upon the fraud of Wall Street and the racist Tea Party lackeys AND in the face of Kevin O' Leary...They would have UPHELD the rule of Law...

[crsbt]

SPOT ON

down with corporate greed,control,wealth and everything else theve stole !!!.



[Winterseeking]

this is fantastic, you are amazing Chris Hedges!

[h4ppychap]

That reporter was a fruit cake...dumb as a box of frogs.
