A pair of Conservative MPs will try to compel a CBC executive and a journalism standards director to appear before a House of Commons committee to defend the company's language guide — which discourages the use of the words "terrorism" and "terrorists" when describing attacks and their perpetrators.

You have to appreciate Conservatives (capital C) and their constant cognitive dissonance.

“The government can’t tell the press what to say”

“The government tells CBC what to say”

“The CBC won’t say terrorists and I’m the government and I want them to”

Which is it Conservatives? Only two can be true.
