It is in precisely this context that our recent independent study on the CBC’s coverage of the Israel-Hamas war was produced. An impartial public broadcaster should not consistently frame a conflict with a one-sided, decontextualized narrative. Most notably, CBC repeatedly platformed Independent Jewish Voices, an anti-Israel group that does not represent the majority of Canada’s Jewish community. This raises a fundamental question: why would a public broadcaster rely on a non-representative organization to speak for Canadian Jewry? The result is not diversity of perspective, but a systematic distortion of how Jewish public opinion is presented to Canadians.

On this 20th anniversary of his first election win, let us count the reasons — from housing prices to national identity — why Canadians might be feeling nostalgic for Harper’s time as prime minister. Under Harper, housing prices rose about 40 per cent from an average of $263,000 in 2006 to $440,000 in 2015 when he left office. As a result, under Trudeau, large parts of Canadian society were completely locked out of the housing market. The housing crisis under Trudeau grew alongside a wider affordability problem which took root after Harper left office. Trudeau took a different approach, promoting the idea of Canada as a post national state.

GDB 56.0: Oilers look for first win in season series vs. the Wild (8PM MT, CBC)As fun as Macklin Celebrini is to watch, the Wild are not the Sharks. There’s plenty to like there, but only if the Oilers take the game seriously from puck drop. The Oilers are 6-3-1 over their last 10, riding their first three-game win streak, and when they’re on, this team can hang with anyone. But if they try to chase the game again, a win probably won’t be there to be chased.

Canada, the U.K., South Korea and other nations are getting cozy with Chinese leadership as a hedge against an unpredictable Trump administration. U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening retaliatory tariffs, citing Canada as a pressure-relief valve for Chinese overcapacity dribbling into the U.S. market. “The Chinese unrestricted warfare approach is much more societally comprehensive: it’s pushing out the Chinese shops and running the hospitals and all of that sort of stuff,” Cleo continues. “The Chinese economy is designed to be, when it comes into a country like Canada, fundamentally parasitic,” Cleo answers, without equivocation. If you’re a Chinese citizen, you are a hostage, an unwilling hostage, often, of the Chinese state.”Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementHow, I ask, does any nation counter this kind of power?
