Suncor is preparing to sell its stakes in N.L. offshore oil projects to a company tied to Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine. The purchaser, Ithaca Energy, is majority-owned by the Delek Group, an Israeli oil and gas company that is on a UN blacklist of companies involved in illegal settlements. Although Canada has promised to take action against trade with settlements, this deal would have N.L. oil bankroll complicit businesses. This deal must not be allowed to go through. theindependent.ca/news/lji/n…

CJPME filed a formal complaint concerning public posts made on X by @CBC National Radio News Reader @NEWSneil Neil Herland. Herland posted a thread where he falsely claimed that he was blocked from a synagogue service by Palestine solidarity protesters. However, Herland was on his way to the Meridian Arts Centre, not a synogogue, to see Mark Regev. Regev is a former Israeli ambassador who has served in multiple high-ranking positions in the Israeli government, including as the Prime Minister's Senior Advisor for Foreign Affairs and International Communications and the International Spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office. This narrative was fundamentally misleading to an extent that it appears to be deliberate, resulting in disinformation that defames pro-Palestinian activists. These are clear breaches of the Journalistic Standards and Practices. CJPME demands that the CBC Ombud initiate a formal review into Mr. Herland’s conduct, that he be directed to delete the thread, issue a formal retraction regarding his false characterization of the event, and abide strictly by the CBC’s social media guidelines in all future public communications.
