Canadian, U.S. fascist fight clubs joining forces south of the border, CBC investigation finds

Members of Canada’s biggest white nationalist group trained this spring with U.S. counterparts south of the border and met with the founder of a global movement of fascist fight clubs, a CBC visual investigation has found.

One expert called it a “very significant” signal of closer co-ordination between white supremacist groups on both sides of the border.


This is the latest CBC Expose of Canadian White People with objectionable views who haven’t actually broken any laws.

Liberals test public support for CBC funding cuts as internal polling backs spending restraint

Liberals test public support for CBC funding cuts as internal polling backs spending restraint

Federal officials quietly tested public appetite for cutting funding to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and other Crown corporations, with internal focus group research showing Canadians are open to reductions as Ottawa looks for ways to rein in spending.

Blacklock’s Reporter says the research, commissioned by the Privy Council Office and conducted by The Strategic Counsel under a $1.6 million contract, found participants frequently pointed to Crown corporations like the CBC and Canada Post as areas where the federal government could scale back expenditures.


Bet the polling will mysteriously experience a sea-change.

Lisa Sygutek: The CBC is a predator of local news

Lisa Sygutek: The CBC is a predator of local news

I am a big believer in local news. In the face of threats to our culture and digital sovereignty from American Big Tech giants, the CBC has an important role to play in telling Canadian stories. CBC Radio has many excellent programs, like The Current, As it Happens, and Q, which are heard around the world, and Canadians should feel proud about this.

Lately, however, the CBC’s role within the Canadian news ecosystem seems more competitive and conceited than complementary and conciliatory.

Bryan Brulotte: The CBC needs reform, not reverence

Bryan Brulotte: The CBC needs reform, not reverence

The debate over the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has become predictable. One side defends it as a pillar of national identity. The other calls for its outright defunding. Both positions miss the point. The CBC does not need to be preserved in its current form. Nor should it be dismantled entirely. What it requires is structural change rooted in first principles — clarity of purpose, fiscal discipline, and service to Canadians that the private market cannot or will not provide.

Michael Higgins: What have the Liberals, and the CBC, got against women?

As the world slowly comes to terms with restoring the rights of women, the Carney government seems intent on perpetuating discrimination against females.

The International Olympic Committee, once steadfast in its bizarre commitment to opening up the female sporting category to all and sundry, is the latest organization to see the light.

CBC refuses to release alleged blacklist as former host tells MPs about banned interview guests

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is refusing to release an internal document that allegedly outlines which public figures its journalists are discouraged from interviewing, even after a former host told MPs the network maintained a blacklist of dozens of names.

During testimony before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage, former CBC-TV host Travis Dhanraj said newsroom staff relied on an internal guide titled Parameters For Political Guests that restricted who could appear on certain programs.

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.

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.
