Former CBC journalist Travis Dhanraj says CBC stuck in ‘endless merry-go-round of gaslighting Canadians’

TORONTO — Former CBC host Travis Dhanraj told a parliamentary committee Tuesday that editorial interference, internal culture problems and political bias at CBC News have eroded public trust in the publicly funded broadcaster.

Early in his testimony, Dhanraj described an incident during editorial discussions about Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich. He told MPs that after he noted Lich had multiple last names, David Cochrane, host of Power & Politics, allegedly responded that “people who live in trailers usually do.”

Liberals to cut CBC by $192-million in 2026-27

This year’s estimates include $1.38-billion in funding for the CBC, representing a marked decrease from the $1.58-billion allotted to the public broadcaster during the 2025-26 fiscal year.

The cuts are weak sauce and I bet the money will be replaced by some hidden top-up or other.

Tumbler Ridge Shooting: CBC degenerates raise eyebrows at Father’s use of He/Him pronouns to describe son

Biological father of Tumbler Ridge shooter offers ‘heartfelt condolences’ 

The biological father of the 18-year-old who killed eight people in Tumbler Ridge before turning a gun on herself Tuesday issued a statement Thursday night, offering his sympathy to the families of the dead and saying he was estranged from the shooter.

In his statement, Justin VanRootselaar refers to his child as Jesse Strang and uses he/him pronouns to describe her. According to police, Jesse Van Rootselaar was assigned male at birth and began transitioning to female about six years ago.

OMG!

Amanda Eskenasi: CBC fed Canadians a biased view of the Israel-Hamas war — and the data proves it

Public trust in media institutions does not erode all at once. It weakens gradually, through patterns that go unexamined and assumptions that go unchallenged — particularly when a public broadcaster is expected to serve a unifying role in a polarized society, as the CBC is evidently expected to do in Canada. It is in precisely this context that our recent independent study on the CBC’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war was produced.

CARPAY: CBC’s ‘neo-nazi’ link to the Freedom Convoy is a camera trick, not journalism

“The neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division linked to Ottawa’s “Freedom Convoy,” screams the Radio-Canada headline in French. This CBC smear-job story ran just prior to the Federal Court of Appeal releasing its January 16 denunciation of the federal government’s illegal conduct in February 2022. The court denounced former prime minister Justin Trudeau over wrongfully declaring a national emergency, illegally using violence against peaceful protesters, and violating Charter rights by freezing the bank accounts of hundreds of Canadians.

Former CBC human resources employee sues over workplace so toxic staff were given a ‘crying room’

A former CBC human resources employee is suing the national broadcaster claiming he was forced to leave a work environment so toxic and discriminatory there was a designated “crying room” so employees could deal with office stress.

The lawsuit also alleges CBC management in its northern operations kept a secret “do not hire” list that disproportionately blacklisted marginalized, disabled and Indigenous people.

LILLEY: CBC gets more money from Liberals to push Liberal views

CBC is expanding once again, but that’s not shocking given the amount of government money, or government-directed money that they get.

While every other media outlet struggles and tries to find ways to keep the lights on, CBC is handed money by a government that sees them as vital to the national – read party – interests.

Less than 40% of CBC’s reporting on Israel-Hamas conflict was ‘balanced’: study by Jewish group

Head of public affairs at CBC says the study’s sample is ‘only a portion’ of its coverage and CBC’s Ombud has not found its reporting has ‘violated its journalistic standards of impartiality’

Less than 40 per cent of CBC’s reporting on the Israel-Hamas conflict was “balanced or neutral,” finds a new study by a Jewish advocacy group.

B’nai Brith Canada also found that more than 50 per cent of CBC’s news articles and videos included in the study met its threshold for pro-Palestinian bias, while less than seven per cent met the threshold for pro-Israel bias. This was based on a sample of 299 items published between Oct. 1, 2024 to April 30, 2025.

CBC Exposes The Same Dozen Neo-Nazis Over and Over Again

‘The Nazis were right’: What the leaders of Canada’s biggest ‘nationalist’ group really want

The leaders of the country’s biggest white nationalist group believe that “the Nazis were right,” that a violent “race war” for Canada’s future is underway and that non-white people should be deported en masse “at gunpoint,” according to an analysis by the CBC’s visual investigations unit.

Second Sons Canada calls itself a “men’s nationalist club” dedicated to “health and fitness, camaraderie, activism and friendly support for those who share our values.” Official posts on Instagram, Facebook, Telegram and X show men gathering to train or to demonstrate, promoting the slogan “remigration now” and celebrating veterans and Canadian history.


It’s not about a dozen Neo-Nazis. CBC Palestine appears to be trying to stigmatize “Remigration”. Screw them we own it.

Former CBC insider trashes its one-sided, ‘thoughtless cheerleading’

The CBC is at a watershed moment, observes longtime CBC insider David Cayley. The previous era of Canada’s publicly funded broadcaster has exhausted itself, Cayley concludes, and in the new era that’s unfolding, what the country desperately needs and deserves is a dialogue, not a monologue.

“Everything ends in time,” he observes, “and I believe that (CBC’s) properties, its idea that it would belong to the audience, that it would stake its legitimacy on the audience, has brought it to a place where it has only one preferred audience — and can’t address the rest of the country, and can’t get outside or above or beyond the assumptions it shares with that audience — so it’s become a kind of boutique.”

CBC hired 84 percent racialized, Indigenous, or disabled while having job vacancies for top talent: Internal report

The CBC far exceeded its “equity representation” target in the last fiscal year, with 84.1 percent of new hires being “Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, and racialized people,” according to the public broadcaster’s new corporate report. In the “reflecting contemporary Canada” subsection, the report shows the CBC had aimed for 65 percent of new hires to fall within the three groups, but surpassed it by 19 percentage points.

Some employment lawyers believe the CBC’s fixation on race and disabilities in its hiring process is limiting the broadcaster from accurately reflecting the Canadian population, and could fall into hiring discrimination.

The CBC’s Burqa Wearing Misogyny Expert Is More Butch Than Their Masculinity Expert

Misogynistic ideas made popular online are popping up in Canadian classrooms, survey says

In her Grade 8 to Grade 12 classrooms, Annie Ohana says ideas with toxic undertones are often not far away.

Like earlier this school year, when she was handing out cups for an activity, and a boy asked if any part of it would “lower [his] testosterone.” The student conceded he didn’t actually know what testosterone was or how it impacted his body but, Ohana says, he was familiar with the misinformation that circulates online that claims men who have low testosterone are less masculine.

“I know exactly where that kind of language comes from. It is very much from… the manosphere,” Ohana told CBC News.


The CBC is Progressive Hell. The manliness person has an NGO. Of course.

CBC’s five-year plan includes grooming kids & foreigners to build audience

OTTAWA – CBC/Radio-Canada says it wants to expand its audience by pitching itself to Canadians who “under-value” its services — or don’t watch, listen to or read its offerings at all.

In its new five-year strategic plan, released Tuesday evening, the public broadcaster says it can’t “afford to rely solely on existing users and fans as confirmation of its value to the public.”

The strategy calls on CBC/Radio-Canada to build up its audience by reaching out to children and youth, newcomers and “non-users or dissatisfied users.”

What value?
