GUNTER: Breaking down CBC’s obsession with race and diversity
To give you an idea of how obsessed the CBC is with “diversity,” its staffers must complete a race-ethnicity-gender-orientation profile of everyone who appears on any of its news and current affairs shows – every expert, every panelist and guest commentator, even every passerby questioned in an on-the-street interview.
Anti-Israel CBC Culinary Radio Show Violated Journalistic Standards
HonestReporting Canada is pleased to share that, subsequent to a complaint we lodged with CBC last year regarding an anti-Israel segment that their radio program “Unforked” broadcast, Ombudsman Jack Nagler upheld our complaint and recognized that the episode violated their Journalistic Standards and Practices.
In a report dated March 23, 2022, Ombudsman Nagler responded to our complaint about a July 5 episode of “Unforked,” a show which describes itself as “Picking apart the food that we eat to reveal the culture and politics baked into it,” which covered the topic of “gastronationalism” and hummus, the beloved chickpea dish enjoyed by peoples throughout the Middle East and around the world.
Do we really need to be funding the CBC’s diversity?
CBC says racism against white people “doesn’t exist”
In response to a viewer’s complaint that a CBC radio program had discriminated against people of British descent, a CBC director has said that racism against white people “doesn’t exist.”
The complaint focused on a June 30, 2021 airing of CBC Vancouver’s radio show The Early Edition, where a guest had complained that schools were named after “Lord so-and-so or Queen this or Sir whatever.”
CBC Finally Admits The Government Can’t Stop Bitcoin
Almost one month removed from the most disturbingly authoritarian moment in Canadian history, the Trudeau-Singh Emergencies Act, and there was only one asset that the Canadian government could not get its hands on – Bitcoin.
CBC Retractions Demonstrate The Manipulative Circular Logic Behind Trudeau’s Imposition Of Emergencies Act
The government cited government-controlled CBC reports as part of their justification for imposing the act.
CBC admits running fake news about Freedom Convoy
The CBC has publicly retracted a news story about the trucker Freedom Convoy that erroneously claimed that support for the protests had largely come from foreigners.
WTF? ‘The war in Ukraine threatens to distract us from the climate crisis’ says CBC LPC propagandist
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine does not change the fact of climate change – a reality brought home again by another stark report from the UN’s climate change panel two weeks ago.
But the ramifications of this war are being used to raise new questions about Canadian climate and energy policy.
With gas prices surging a week after Vladimir Putin’s forces invaded Ukraine, Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown wrote to Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland to suggest that she delay the annual increase in the federal carbon tax, slated to take effect on April 1. “Now is the wrong time for any new burden,” he said.
Minister in charge of CBC applauds legacy media’s convoy coverage
While speaking, Rodriguez also promised that there was more the Liberal government could do to “support” the legacy news.
“I think there are even more things we should be able to do. We’re looking into that in the context of supporting the whole ecosystem,” said Rodriguez.
CBC News Hacked
We want to acknowledge this account was compromised earlier today, and an inappropriate tweet was posted. It has now been deleted and we are reviewing the situation.

A Billion tax dollars a year is wasted on this crap – “Numbers suggest many American protest convoy donors also gave to Trump, Republicans”
Out of 200 of the top American donors to the convoy protest that paralyzed downtown Ottawa and blocked parts of the Canada-U.S. border, half have names matching those of donors to Republican candidates, the Republican Party or former U.S. President Donald Trump, according to analysis by CBC News.
A search of the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC) campaign finance database for 200 of the top American donations to GiveSendGo’s convoy crowdfunding campaign shows that 50 per cent of those donors have names and zip codes matching those of people who have donated in the past to the Republican Party, one of its political action committees or Republican candidates.
“Canada does not want to see itself this way”
The New York Times reported last weekend that police in Ottawa had arrested protesters at gunpoint, a claim that was quickly challenged and denounced by prominent Canadian journalists.
“This is wrong,” tweeted freelance reporter Justin Ling, who had been covering the police action from Ottawa. CBC News TV host Ginella Massa called the Times headline “false and incredibly dangerous rhetoric” and CBC radio host Piya Chattopadhyay asked “where are you getting this bs from?”.
U.S. Congress asks Facebook: What role did fake overseas accounts have in promoting Canada convoys?
American politicians are demanding details from Facebook about how many fake online accounts created by foreign actors helped promote Canada’s convoy protests.
The chair of the most powerful investigative body in the U.S. House of Representatives this week sent a letter to company founder Mark Zuckerberg seeking information about inauthentic activity.
FUREY: Liberals cite CBC ‘analysis’ to justify freezing bank accounts
The incredible powers that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has given his government to freeze people’s bank accounts is based on their reliance on “analysis” from the CBC.
This is according to a 14-page document the government tabled in the House of Commons Wednesday night detailing the supposed rationale for invoking the Emergencies Act in the first place.

CBC Harassing Canadians Doxed in GiveSendGo Hack
