If neither the government nor the CRTC is willing to enforce the laws that govern the CBC, it will continue to self-define as a publicly funded commercial broadcaster with increasing disinterest in adherence to its public-service mandate.
Canada’s Government Owned News Media
China orders Canadian media to “uphold correct position” on Hong Kong
“We urge Canadian media to uphold the correct position on issues concerning China’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and other major core interests, abide by the one-China principle, and not to provide a platform for the activities of ‘Taiwan independence’ forces so as not to send wrong signal,” claimed the Embassy.
For Trudeau, there’s no political reason to fight for Keystone XL
After U.S. President Joe Biden moved recently to revoke permits for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline project, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he was “disappointed.”
That was a fairly tepid reaction to losing an infrastructure project billed as a job-generator and an essential prop for a struggling Canadian energy sector.
But Trudeau doesn’t really have an incentive to take on the Biden administration over Keystone because — economic and environmental arguments for and against the project notwithstanding — there simply isn’t much of a political case for fighting for it any longer.
A couple of skewed self-selected online polls then the CBC produces a Liberal Policy trial balloon and calls it “analysis”. That’s how the MSM rolls in Canada.
EXCLUSIVE: CBC demands Ezra Levant change story on $34 million COVID bailout
Exclusive internal CBC communications obtained by Rebel News show the internal reaction after several online media outlets — none of which receive bailout money from Justin Trudeau — published a series of articles on a Liberal tabling of spending which included nearly $34 million in extra funding for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
The CBC Claims it has No Bias Despite Race-Based Management Practices
For Canadians who are not of a left-wing progressive political perspective, much of the CBC’s reporting on their progress on supposed “diversity” may come across as quite concerning.
It shouldn’t come as news that the CBC’s working definition of “diversity” is purely based on race/ethnicity. The CRTC licensing commission was specifically focusing on progress on “the CBC’s pledge to hire more staff and managers from underrepresented groups.”
The CBC admits to having made significant changes to their policies relating to diversity and inclusion as a response to 500 current and former employees complaining about the alleged “systemic racism” around the time of the BLM protests and riots during the summer of 2020, which the CBC only refers to as “protests”.
CBC viewership hits record lows as subsidies hit record highs
The CBC has turned the record sum of cash they received from the Liberal government into its worst ratings in history, new figures reveal.
Despite getting $1.5-billion of taxpayers’ money, data from the CRTC show the CBC has dropped to less than 3.9 per cent of viewership across Canada in 2018-2019 – a whopping drop of 25 per cent in just one year.
Journalists target churchgoers for defying lockdown rules
Multiple Canadian journalists and pundits are upset that Christians are trying to attend church during the coronavirus pandemic.
As dictated by Katie Telford: ‘Playing with fire’: How politicians can perpetuate baseless conspiracy theories
Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre took to social media this week with repeated messages to “#StopTheGreatReset.”
He says he’s simply criticizing comments Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made in a speech at the United Nations and an associated World Economic Forum document, but the terminology of a “Great Reset” has been co-opted by fringe groups who falsely claim a group of global elites are using the pandemic to benefit themselves and their friends.
