CBC’s climate coverage is advocacy dressed as journalism — and it violates their own Journalistic Standards and Practices CBC’s JSP is explicit: * Impartiality: “We do not promote any particular point of view on matters of public debate.” * Balance: On controversial issues, “we ensure that divergent views are reflected respectfully.” * Journalists must avoid even the appearance of advocacy for a cause. Brodie Fenlon, Editor-in-Chief, has repeatedly declared climate “a top priority” and “the most pressing story of our time,” with dedicated beats, special projects, and institutional resources That is a policy choice, not neutral news judgment Look at the current youth climate trial coverage. The framing is almost entirely the plaintiffs’: “historic,” backpack-wearing kids skipping school for court, cheering supporters, moral urgency. The government’s actual position — that the Charter does not compel climate mitigation or a “safe climate system,” and that Canada’s ~1.4% of global emissions means even zeroing out would have negligible effect — is mentioned, then quickly subordinated No established Charter right exists requiring specific emissions targets. Courts have repeatedly treated these claims as political questions, not justiciable constitutional duties. Causation is the central barrier. That legal reality is the baseline, not a fringe view. Presenting the case as kids heroically defending rights while soft-pedaling the absence of those rights and the causation problem is not balanced reporting under the JSP. It is promotional by CBC CBC’s own standards prohibit promoting a point of view and require reflecting divergent perspectives on matters of public controversy. Treating climate policy as settled moral territory while downplaying legal, economic, and scale realities does the opposite. Public broadcasters are not activist NGOs. The JSP exists precisely to stop this @brodiefenlon @CBCOmbud

A Nazi swastika targeting Jewish students near Western University in London, Ontario, has led to hate-motivated charges, one of several recent cases highlighting how Canada's new Combatting Hate Act (Bill C-9) is being put to use. Our Jewish community -- across the board -- advocated for this vital legislation that provides authorities with more tools to hold hate offenders accountable and better protect institutions of vulnerable communities from hateful protests and incidents. Swipe through these cases that demonstrate the importance of giving law enforcement the tools to confront hate directed at our and other communities But enforcement needs to be consistent across the country. That's why we're calling on Justice Minister @SeanFraserMP to urgently advance the convening of federal, provincial and territorial governments to coordinate enforcement of existing and new hate laws.

FP Champagne and Tim Hodgson keep dodging Pierre Poilievre’s questions on the PBO report The PBO called the government’s capital-spending definition “overly expansive,” shifting ~$94 billion off the operating books Debt interest is soaring toward $83 billion by 2030 Champagne’s response? Exaggerated claims of the “strongest fiscal position in the G7” and “We will take no lessons from the Conservatives.” The G7 boast holds only on selective net-debt math while ignoring large deficits and rising interest costs the PBO flagged Serious independent analysis gets Liberal slogans, not answers @PierrePoilievre @FPChampagne

CBC quoted Lowan’s speech right up to the line that reveals the ideology—and then stopped In their election-night write-up, CBC reported: “We may have a small caucus, but tonight we have inherited an enormous responsibility, and that is to hold a majority Conservative government to account.” What she said next, according to the full transcript (and the video CBC itself posted):“We are the only party who is equipped to stand against the Conservatives and their existence.” That is not “holding a government to account.” That is declaring the victorious party’s existence illegitimate. It is the language of elimination, not opposition If a BC Conservative candidate had said the NDP or Greens needed to be opposed “and their existence,” it would have led every newscast, every panel, and every CBC segment for days. Instead, the line was edited out of the written coverage while the surrounding sentences were used to portray her as a responsible voice of accountability This is not an oversight. CBC has the full speech on their website. They chose which sentences to quote and which to bury. Meanwhile, hosts and panels continue to treat the BC Conservatives as uniquely dangerous while soft-pedaling a 26-year-old party leader who just framed an entire party’s existence as the problem to be solved Age is not a shield. “Movement building” is not a euphemism that erases the actual words. Selective quotation that stops one sentence before the most revealing line is not journalism—it is CBC narrative management The video is on CBC’s own site. The transcript is public. The CBC omission is the story @brodiefenlon

Carney flew to Ankara and signed a statement saying Canada and Turkey share "human rights, individual liberties, democracy and the rule of law." 🤦🏻‍♂️ 8 days earlier, police raided Halk TV, one of the last opposition channels, cut the live feed and put a government trustee in charge. Erdoğan's main rival, Istanbul's mayor, has been in jail since March 2025. 27 journalists locked up or awaiting trial. A comedian got almost 19 months for calling Erdoğan a "shy dictator." Over 100 people arrested in September raids on LGBT groups. Osman Kavala, 8+ years in prison, despite Europe's own human rights court ordering him freed. Asked if he raised any of it, Carney said those talks work better "not reported out in detail." Trade with them if you want. Just don't pretend they share our values. Values matter, eh? 🇨🇦
