Foreign ministry criticizes CBC for changing Taiwan reference from country to ‘self-ruled island’

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday criticized CBC News for changing its description of Taiwan from a country to a “self-ruled island.”

On June 14, Canada’s largest news broadcaster posted an article on the alleged ties between Bliss and Wisdom, a Buddhist group with operations on Prince Edward Island, and the CCP. The piece originally described a high-ranking monk from Taiwan as traveling “between his home country, Prince Edward Island, and China” in 2023 at the invitation of a Buddhist group that reports to the United Front Work Department.

SIMS: CBC set to get more money and power

Canada’s government news organization is set to get fatter and more powerful.

In the middle of the election campaign, Prime Minister Mark Carney vowed to pay the CBC more money, waving around about $150 million in fresh taxpayer cash.

CBC covered that big scoop with a headline calling the CBC “underfunded.”

CBC has escaped defunding, for now. So what happens next?

OTTAWA – At the beginning of the year, CBC was facing the very real prospect of being defunded by a Conservative government.

But after the political winds shifted in favour of Mark Carney’s Liberals, the public broadcaster was granted a reprieve — giving the minority Liberal government what could be a short runway to implement its proposed changes.

“I do think that the Carney victory has secured the future of the CBC for now, at least as long as they’re in power,” said Jessica Johnson, a senior fellow at McGill University’s Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy.

What happens next? The Liberal party will continue to fund the CBC’s propaganda.

CBC eliminates bonuses for executives and staff, but will boost salaries to compensate

OTTAWA — CBC/Radio-Canada says it will stop paying its executives and employees millions of dollars in controversial “performance pay” bonuses but will compensate by increasing their salaries instead.

The public broadcaster made the announcement in an unattributed statement Wednesday alongside a four-page memo summarizing a compensation review report conducted by a human resources consulting firm.

FUSS: CBC ‘fact-checker’ gets his facts wrong

At all times, during an election period and beyond, the media must report accurate information and, when necessary, correct the record. For example, following the English-language federal leaders’ debate on April 17, CBC reporter Jonathon Gatehouse appeared on CBC News and “fact-checked” a statement by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who had referenced a study published by the Fraser Institute. Unfortunately, during the segment, Gatehouse got his facts wrong.

That’s the CBC’s job.

Terry Newman: On election night, CBC shamelessly cheered on Mark Carney

During election night coverage, some CBC pundits dropped much of the pretense of impartiality as soon as an “at least Liberal minority” was predicted shortly after 10 p.m. ET. At this point, the national broadcaster’s hosts and commentators could breathe a sigh of relief that they wouldn’t be delivering their own eulogy.

Kelly McParland: Carney thinks Canada is too weak to survive without the CBC

The 2025 federal election already has one big winner. Congratulations, CBC!

Barring a reversal of fortune, Liberal Leader Mark Carney saved the bacon of Canada’s natural broadcasting corporation when he announced that, should he remain prime minister after April 28, his government would not only keep the Crown corporation alive, it would raise its allowance until it reaches levels similar to those in Britain, Germany and France.

Carney pledges $150M of your money to buy fealty with ‘underfunded’ CBC

Liberal Leader Mark Carney said on Friday that his government would provide an initial $150-million annual funding increase to CBC and Radio-Canada as part of a new mandate for the public broadcaster.

“When we compare ourselves to the U.K., France or Germany, we see that our public broadcaster is underfunded,” Carney said in French during a campaign stop in Montreal. “That has to change.”

That initial funding top-up could rise, Carney said.

‘NO APPETITE’: Canadians reject proposed hike in CBC funding

A steep boost in Crown broadcaster funding proposed by the Department of Canadian Heritage is unappealing to taxpayers, admitted a Liberal-appointed senator.

Sen. Andrew Cardozo, a long-time CBC supporter, in a recent report recommended the state broadcaster be considered an essential service — but without additional millions, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

The U.S. has covertly destabilized nations. With Canada, it’s being done in public says LPC propaganda outfit

Former senior Canadian intelligence officials say Canada needs to be on the lookout for campaigns aimed at destabilizing the country amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s escalating 51st state threats.

And they told CBC News that the most potent weapon wielded by the Trump administration to advance the cause of annexation would likely not be the intelligence agencies directed by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

“I would regard Mr. Musk as a problem,” said Ward Elcock, who headed CSIS for a decade including during the 9/11 attacks and also served as national security adviser. “I think that’s on a number of fronts.”
