“My father was a hunter, a pilot and a natural born leader,” Larry Watt told Eye on the Arctic in a phone interview. The book is based on 30 hours of interviews with Bryant, with Larry acting as translator. His father’s recollections of the dog slaughter by police in the 1960s was just one example, Larry said. “I knew it had happened but not how much losing his dogs and traditional way of life impacted him,” Larry said. Potential for schoolsLarry Watt says he hopes this father’s experiences and accomplishment can inspire other Inuit and potentially be used in educational settings as well.

Paul Knox, a professor emeritus at the Toronto Metropolitan University school of journalism, said he believes the Tories' motion is unprecedented — and "out of line." Despite the Tories' motion failing, Knox said it shouldn't go unnoticed, and the public shouldn't allow politicians to stray into territory where they shouldn't be. Canadian Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge said the Tories' motion demonstrates that they don't understand how the law works, and they don't understand what journalistic independence is.

Tories want House to study CBC editorial choice, despite broadcaster’s independence Oct 17, 2023 | 12:44 PMOTTAWA — The official Opposition is attempting to have a House of Commons committee study an editorial decision of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., despite its independence from the government being enshrined in law. Conservative deputy leader Melissa Lantsman introduced a motion today to summon the head of CBC and its director of journalistic standards to testify over the broadcaster’s policy not to call Hamas militants “terrorists.”The CBC is defending the policy, saying it uses the words “terrorist” or “terrorism” when they are attributed to someone, but is asking reporters to avoid using the words in their own voice because they are loaded with meaning, politics and emotion that can impede their journalism. Paul Knox, a professor emeritus at the Toronto Metropolitan University school of journalism, says he believes the Tories’ motion is unprecedented, and he thinks it is out of line because it infringes on freedom of the press.

OTTAWA – An attempt by the Conservatives to summon CBC top executives over the network’s refusal to describe Hamas as terrorists was blocked Tuesday by the Liberals, the Bloc Québécois and the NDP. She had specified the executives as CBC president and CEO Catherine Tait, english-services ombudsman Jack Nagler and director of journalistic standards, George Achi. That includes statements from the Canadian government and Canadian politicians,” wrote Achi. Hamas has long been officially labelled a terrorist group by the government of Canada. It unveils certain ideals from the Conservative Party of Canada regarding the financing of the CBC,” said Bloc MP Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné, adding that Parliament does not control CBC news coverage.

The hour-long program broadcast at noon on Monday came together following a year-long collaboration between the high school and Concordia University’s Journalism department. “I’m Indigenous and I would absolutely love to see more Indigenous journalism students and more Indigenous journalists. They worked alongside journalism students in the department, who mentored them along the way, helping them produce reports about local ironworkers, firefighters, Kanien’kéha instructors and even the tradition of spirit stories. He also said he was impressed at just how hard Snell and the journalism department worked to keep them motivated and engaged. “After that we became really successful.”He’ll be spending the next year in Dawson’s one-year transition program for Indigenous students before deciding his next steps.

"It's still really early to say definitively that it will end the radio station, but it's going to definitely be a different radio station," he said. 'No inquiry, no discussion'The referendum question that ended CHUO's funding was one of 10 that students voted on during the recent byelection. "This type of radio, this particular radio station, serves the needs of a very important niche community that unfortunately sometimes don't get seen or heard through mainstream radio," Coddett told Ottawa Morning on Tuesday. "We might see another referendum question to kind of re-evaluate this question ... as it comes into play in September of 2024.

October 16, 2023 —Paul Thomas, professor emeritus of political studies at the University of Manitoba, said Stefanson’s remarks do not rise to the level of a fulsome apology. “She didn’t say, ‘You know, that was a bad mistake. If I had known about it, I would have vetoed it when it was proposed’,” Thomas said Sunday in an interview. “To say that she wasn’t at all meetings gives her some sort of an out, for not addressing that, but I mean, she made the remarks so many times.”Read here
