The Canadian Press emailed Twitter asking for an explanation of the added tag, and the company responded with a poop emoji. The corporation has drawn a distinction between “government” and “public” funding because of the fact that the money it receives is granted through a vote made in Parliament. In 2021-22, the CBC received more than $1.2 billion in government funding, a decrease from about $1.4 billion in 2020-21. Poilievre said in a sit-down interview last July with right-wing outlet True North that the only justification for having a public broadcaster is to provide content the private market does not.

Beyond the infamous cases, Canada has a major problem with wrongful convictions, argues Kent Roach. The Canadian Registry of Wrongful Convictions shows that 15 of the 83 entered a guilty plea. The case recognized that the overrepresentation of Indigenous people — 12 per cent at the time — was a “crisis” that required judges to sentence Indigenous people in a different way. In hindsight, I think the Supreme Court would have shut down any attempt to reopen the manslaughter guilty plea. I had success in arguing the law in her case, but wrongful convictions are almost never about the law.

Some prominent Toronto mayoral candidates, including city council’s current housing and planning chair, are holding campaign events aimed at raising money from developers. Mayoral candidates asking deep-pocketed homebuilders for campaign donations is not new. However, political observers say large-scale events hosted for municipal candidates by developers — common in provincial politics — have until now been a rarity. Brad Bradford, the housing chair, is appearing Monday evening at a dinner hosted by Al Libfeld, co-founder and president of Pickering-based Tribute Communities, which has multiple condominium projects in Toronto. “Our campaign isn’t going out of our way to court donations from developers, nor do we expect developers will go out of their way to support our campaign,” Matlow wrote in a statement.
