CBC reporters should cycle to assignments as part of the broadcaster’s climate strategy, according to a corporate report.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the document did not specify what actions would be taken to curb emissions from executives who frequently travel abroad.
OTTAWA — The Liberals want Canadians to pay more for their public broadcaster, saying the country’s “national security” depends on it.
Canadian Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge presented her plan for “The Future of CBC/Radio-Canada” on Thursday, an apparent response to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s plan to “defund the CBC.”

No one needs “More CBC” h/t Mauser
There’s a need for new laws to ensure the future of CBC, said Canadian Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge on Thursday in an update on the new mandate for the public broadcaster.
She proposed removing the CBC’s budget out of the political realm, and instead through a per capita funding model based on the size of the population.
“CBC does not belong to the Liberals or the Conservatives. It does not belong to any political party. It belongs to Canadians,” said St-Onge.
WOW
Heritage Minister holding a news conference on CBC now
So far, she wants to remove the money taxpayers pay for the CBC to be removed from the budget so we cannot see it as a line item anymore… and stick in "statutory appropriations" instead
Sounds like the Liberal… pic.twitter.com/ECpLmymYUH

Where is journalist Travis Dhanraj — previous host of CBC’s Canada Tonight a prime-time news program?
According to speculation online, he is no longer on air due to what appears to be disciplinary action or a leave of absence related to his advocacy for balanced coverage, including the inclusion of conservative voices in public discourse.
A shadow war on libraries
Some Canadian politicians and influencers, inspired by an American-born movement, are trying to roll back 2SLGBTQ+ rights in Canada — one book at a time.
In May of 2019, the CBC unveiled its annual slate of programming. One title stood out to me, at the time, as being especially curious: representing the confused manner in which the network was grappling with its role as the nation’s public broadcaster. I am talking, of course, about ”Family Feud Canada.”
Hosted by abiding CBC workhorse Gerry Dee, ”Family Feud Canada” followed the shopworn format of the popular gameshow, in which two rival families compete to find the most popular answers to a series of survey questions. It reminded me of “The Simpsons” bit where beloved Barbie-like doll Malibu Stacey, suffering a flagging market share, is repackaged with a new hat. “Family Feud Canada” was the same, tired, U.S. game show format bedecked with a Leafs jersey and toque.
CBC barely exists.
New CBC boss wants ’national conversation’ on Conservatives’ vow to defund the public broadcaster
OTTAWA — With U.S. President Donald Trump making “territorial claims,” the new head of CBC says defunding the public broadcaster could erode a pillar of Canada’s cultural identity.
Marie-Philippe Bouchard, CEO of CBC-Radio-Canada, is calling for a “national conversation” on the Conservative promise to defund, and is launching a tour to get it started.
CBC’s new chief executive officer has suggested that Pierre Poilievre poses an “existential threat” to the public broadcaster.
Marie-Philippe Bouchard, who took over for Catherine Tait in early January, also said that despite backlash over bonuses given to executives in the past, she was unsure whether she would receive one herself.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has come under fire for hiring George Achi in a senior position after he previously instructed journalists at Canada’s state broadcaster not to refer to members of the internationally designated terrorist organization Hamas as “terrorists.”
In late 2023, Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge said it was time for the federal government to redefine what the CBC does and how it does it.
A year later – and with a federal election expected some time this spring – her office is promising the minister will unveil the planned changes to the public broadcaster’s mandate in “due course.” But with Parliamentary business on hold until late March due to prorogation, and opposition parties champing at the bit to trigger an election, getting any legislative changes to the CBC’s mandate passed may be a long shot.
An Ottawa police detective who investigated potential links between COVID-19 vaccines and infant deaths has launched an $875,000 lawsuit against CBC.
She alleged the broadcaster conducted a malicious campaign against her through false reporting.
Undocumented in Canada, she’s emerging from the shadows to fight for equal rights
Monieya Jess never imagined her life in Canada would turn out like this, living undocumented, in the shadows of society. But now she’s risking deportation by speaking out — part of an effort to expose an underground workforce that’s vulnerable to exploitation and likely to grow.
“It’s a nightmare,” she said. “I try to live day by day.”
The 36-year-old from Jamaica left two sons behind in 2021 to pick strawberries at a farm in Nova Scotia on a 90-day temporary work permit. Jess left the farm shortly after she arrived, because she says her employer refused to help her get medical treatment for pain related to her work.
She’s from Jamaica and she’s here illegally so send her back.
This is the sort of uber left slop served up daily by the CBC.
A “sob story” about illegal aliens written without regard for the costs Canadians have to pay for destructive elite virtue signaling.
While Monday was a day celebrated by many in Canada and around the world, there were others who were devastated by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s announcement that he will be stepping down as Liberal leader and PM.
h/t Mauser
CBC’s senior management expressed frustration with media coverage of its $14.9 million in executive bonuses, according to internal emails obtained through Access to Information requests by Blacklock’s Reporter.
CBC executives complained that other news media published details about the bonuses without giving the public broadcaster adequate time to respond, even as the corporation implemented widespread job cuts and claimed financial difficulties.
I have a Christmas confession: there’s something I love about the CBC.
To some National Post readers, this might seem like the equivalent of saying Al-Qaeda had a few good ideas. But hear me out. At this festive time of the year — in the spirit of peace and love — let me make the case for why one specific program that used to air on CBC Radio deserves our affection.
