Comedy Factory from CBC Radio: Episodes

Young people are having a tough time out in the job market, Coach's Corner's Ron MacLean is in trouble...and NOT Don Cherry? And to top it all off, Miss Conduct won't let you wear flip flops.
Man! We just can't catch a BREAK!
Conrad Black is out of jail and back on Canadian soil, struggling Canadian tech company, Research In Motion might have a niche market for their Blackberry, Canada's national parks are facing huge cutbacks and did you remember to buy your mom some flowers for Mother's Day? There's still time! Go! Hurry!!!
The Ottawa Senators are out of the playoffs, but Ottawa is still seeing its fair share of excitement with a visit from Prince Charles and Camilla, and constant yelling during question period in Parliament.
We're making fun of all it.
Sometimes even good news has a dark side.

The CBC Comedy Team signs up for an unlimited cell plan, we create a new career path for freshly fired federal employees, we get the mood on the street about the new cigarette warning labels and find a cure for the Titanic obsessed. Booya! What you do you with YOUR week?

Host Jane Testar can't understand Titanic hoopla, Canada can't understand why the Conservatives are so dead set on buying the F-35 fighter jets, CBC can't believe they have to put commercials on Radio 2, and Miss Conduct can't ...
News stories just seem to be recycling themselves. Gas Prices are sky high (again), the F-35 fighter jets aren't what they promised to be (again) and older men like Alec Baldwin keep marrying much, much younger ladies.
It's all just a little bit of history repeating, but at least it's funny!
Everybody is in a fighting mood these days. We're in a boxing stance waiting for the 2012 budget; the Conservatives are making Bob Rae attack ads, even brothels are fighting for their rights.

It's a cartoonishly hilarious look at how our country does business. A sleepy MP tells his side of the story, we help newly resigned Ottawa staffers with legal representation and Robocalls run amok.
Slide whistle!
Do we use technology for good, or evil?
Find out as you listen in on some disturbing "Robocalls", hear a movie trailer about faulty Canadian submarines, and follow a recently fired, Twitter happy Parliament Hill staffer to a job interview.

Do not trust the metal ones.
We fear change.
Host Jane Testar celebrates lapses in judgment and total screw ups.
Environment Canada firing scientists, Canadian and American trading disputes grow to Shakespearean proportions and Canadians might not be as accurate as they should be in a recent survey.

Wear something pretty, or Joan Rivers will ...
