TORONTO – The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has announced the recent purchase of a $1.2 million Bell 206 helicopter to meet the public’s demand for heartwarming stories about Syrian refugees integrating into Canadian society.

“We just can’t get enough reporting on these people,” said Heather Conway, executive vice president, CBC English-language services. “Investigative reporters are currently covering whether the Shamoun family really enjoyed their visit to the sugar bush last week and we have 750 interns following every Syrian refugee in Canada on social media, but we lacked aerial coverage on our tear-jerking stories.”

The helicopter, Feel-Good 1, is equipped with the most current infrared technology and is capable of tracking up to 12 tear-jerking Canadian integration stories at once with its GPS guided saccharine-seeking on-board computer. Eight CBC journalists will also be able to rappel from the aircraft for live interviews in the event they detect a story that reinforces Canadian generosity, kindness, or celebration towards the Syrian newcomers.

“Whether they are tobogganing or going to school, viewers won’t miss a moment stalking Syrian refugees with this new helicopter,” added Conway.

CBC has already used the helicopter when eight-year-old Anwar Khouri needed braces, and gave a bird’s-eye-view of the Mohammed family whiled they watched a minor league hockey game for the first time in partnership with Tim Hortons.
