When calling terrorism by its name becomes controversial

On September 11, 2001, Canadians, along with much of the rest of the world, were shocked as they watched the second plane, at 9:07 a.m. EST, fly into World Trade Centre Tower 2 that fateful morning. What came next was a response by America and its allies that would change the world forever. The ensuing War on Terror has been documented for the past 25 years, and yet the war on terror and jihadi fundamentalism continue today. In fact, as Phil Gurski, a former senior counterintelligence analyst who worked on the Iran and jihadi terrorism desks at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), says, “the battle is far from over”. But another battle is taking place in Canada over how a news organisation might somehow soft-pedal the truth and rewrite the narrative about the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The CBC then reclarified its position by suggesting that, if the term ‘terrorist’ is used, it should be attributed to a government, military or commission findings, as if a journalist could not determine on his or her own that an incident qualified as a terrorist attack. This sparked an angry tweet from FBI Director Kash Patel and, for a short period of time, may have jeopardised security inside Canada. The CBC did issue another clarification, but the damage was already done. With a full-scale trade war taking place between Canada and the US, tensions are high as Pete Hoekstra heads for Gander, Newfoundland, where thousands of stranded travellers landed on that fateful day. With that in mind, I offer you a column by Phil Gurski, who has just launched his new book his ninth 9/11: The Unfinished Battle, Why Jihadi Terrorism is Stronger, Wider, and Far from Over.

CBC’s refusal to distinguish between terrorism and war shows it can’t think critically

When the CBC recently backed away from an internal policy that instructed its journalists not to label 9/11 as a terrorist attack, it was a sensible reversal. But it occurred only after the broadcaster first dug in its taxpayer-financed heels.

The entire episode is worth exploring because the back-and-forth over the CBC memo spurred debates over the nature of terrorism, and the broadcaster’s failure to think about the reality of what the word actually means.

Republican Party blocks Islamist media outlet CBC/Radio-Canada from convention after support of 9/11 terrorists uncovered

OTTAWA — U.S President Donald Trump’s Republican Party has revoked the CBC/Radio-Canada’s press access to its upcoming midterm convention, citing the public broadcaster’s now-reversed policy not to refer to 9/11 as “terrorism” without direct attribution, National Post has learned.

A CBC spokesperson confirmed Monday that the Republican National Convention (RNC) had revoked access for both CBC and Radio-Canada to its major party gathering on Sept. 9 and 10, ahead of key mid-term elections.

LILLEY: CBC’s 9/11 retreat doesn’t fix its terrorism problem

In the face of worldwide public outcry and a dressing down by the Carney government, CBC has announced that its journalists can, in fact, call the 9/11 attacks terrorism. The issue, and the outcry, arose after a CBC executive issued a memo earlier this week warning journalists not to call the attacks terrorism.

CBC: Muslim responsible for terrorism gaffe finds himself blameless after thorough investigation of himself by himself

How and why CBC News will adjust its 9/11 language guidance

CBC News finds itself once again in a swirl of confusion about how our journalists use the words “terrorist” and “terrorism,” this time about the al-Qaeda attacks on New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001.

The confusion stems from the leak of an excerpt from our internal language guide that was published and amplified by a number of outlets without full context or explanation. It has caused significant concern, anger and hurt for many people who believe CBC News seeks to minimize or obscure the horror of that day and who was behind it.

Insulting garbage, a non apology, just verbal diarrhea.

LILLEY: If CBC can’t call 9/11 terrorism, why should anyone trust it?

When the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks takes place two weeks from now, CBC journalists will not be allowed to call them terrorist attacks. Those same CBC journalists can quote someone calling the attacks terrorism, but as a new memo to staff issued this week shows, journalists can’t use that description themselves.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation now says 9/11 wasn’t a "terrorist attack" at all. Just a "hijacking that led to plane crashes."

Ok… First off, clearly the CBC doesn’t know the definition of a terrorist attack, but WHY in the world would they say this?

CBC tells staff not to call 9/11 a ‘terrorist attack’

With the 25th anniversary of 9/11 on the horizon, the CBC has circulated a memo to reporters and editors across all its news platforms reminding them not to refer to the attacks that claimed 3,000 lives and changed the modern world as “terrorist attacks.”

The missive from the broadcaster’s journalistic standards and practices office, a copy of which was obtained by National Post, includes a section of the “longstanding language guidance” on the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks carried out by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda.

Don’t put Muslims in charge of anything. They can’t control themselves. Their lives are an acting out of a cultish nightmare.

Open Border Extremists at CBC equate desire for immigration reform with “hate crime”

Hamilton anti-racism groups give tips on how to avoid unwittingly renting venues to groups deemed extremist

An organization calling for the deportation of immigrants says it’s hosting a conference in the Hamilton area on Aug. 29, prompting local anti-racism groups to take action.

In an open letter, several organizations, including the Hamilton Anti-Racism Resource Centre (HARRC) and Hamilton Centre for Civic Inclusion (HCCI), are urging businesses and institutions not to rent space to Dominion Society of Canada and other such groups.

The letter also shares tips to help venues avoid unwittingly letting extremist groups book their events.

The CBC propaganda machine is now attempting to paint the Dominion Society as a hateful group, equating them with "white supremacists" The Second Sons. Their agenda is clear: accept mass immigration or they will tarnish you and your members publicly.

They are on a anti-white… pic.twitter.com/pMfEYKhqGc

The CBC is a far left extremist group and their message is clear you are to be demonized for your beliefs. Frank discussion of immigration reform marks you as a forever guilty racist oppressor and any attempt to stand up and protect your own best interests is a hate crime.

CBC’s progressive bias revealed: What 6 years of corrections by the public broadcaster show

The CBC can be forgiven for breathing a prolonged sigh of relief. After Mark Carney’s Liberals won the 2025 election, the federal government increased CBC’s budget by $150 million, in part to help “combat disinformation.” Given that the Liberals secured a majority in 2026 amid the Conservatives’ struggles in the polls, the threat of a defunded CBC now seems remote.

Aside from a few missteps—most notably an aborted CBC-funded prank show that sought to publicly humiliate retired RCMP officers—the public broadcaster has generated relatively few headlines of its own over the last year. As other newsrooms shutter, the Mother Corp lumbers on, content to rest on its laurels.

Amy Hamm: Boomers drunk on CBC is the source of Carney’s power

The results of an Abacus Data survey have again revealed which generations are keeping the rotten Liberal Party popular and in power. It’s the baby boomers and the silent generation, of course.

The new survey, released on Sunday, showed that “(a)mong Canadians aged 60 and over, the Liberals lead the Conservatives by 20 points, 52 per cent to 32 per cent.” Only one or two percentage points divide the Liberal/Conservative preference (measured as vote intention) among all other age groups, meaning that without the Boomers and their elders, our red and blue parties would be neck-and-neck in the polls.

The CBC continues to gaslight conservatives, even after its near-death experience

The CBC has learned nothing since it stood on the precipice and stared down its annihilation at the hands of a Conservative government.

Last month, Pollara released its annual Trust in Media survey, revealing the CBC’s net trust score among Conservative voters is now just +9, compared to +78 among Liberal voters—the widest trust gap of any Canadian outlet. Conservative trust dropped 13 points in just three years.

CBC as Canada’s federally appointed fact-checker? That sounds less like journalism and more like turning the state broadcaster into an information gatekeeper for the governing party.

CBC’s news should be assessed by outside experts for fairness, senators say in report

OTTAWA — CBC/Radio-Canada’s news and current affairs content should be periodically analyzed by outside experts “in order to assess its fairness and balance,” a new Senate committee report says.

Senators were asked at a press conference Wednesday whether CBC’s coverage is in need of a course correction, or if the recommendation is meant as a preventative measure.

“It could be considered both,” said Conservative Sen. David Wells, who chairs the committee.

Scott Stinson: We’re about to find out if the CBC can survive without NHL hockey broadcasts

When Rogers stunned the hockey world in the fall of 2013 by scooping up the whole of the NHL’s national broadcast rights in Canada, Hubert Lacroix, then the head of the CBC, was at the press conference, like a guest at his own funeral.

Rogers and the CBC had cut a side deal that allowed the privately owned media giant to borrow the public broadcaster’s airwaves to continue airing NHL games, while Rogers would have editorial control and sell ads and keep the revenue.
