With few exceptions, mainstream media outlets in Canada have either outright supported Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza or failed to report on it critically. However, Canadaland’s record on foreign policy issues (such as conflicts abroad and how they’re covered domestically) isn’t much different than what is pumped out in mainstream outlets. Like mainstream outlets, Canadaland rarely features the voices of Palestinians on matters relating to Palestine. Like mainstream outlets, Canadaland has engaged in the despicable editorial practice of labelling Gazan health ministries as being “Hamas-run” when referencing their count of Palestinian casualties, a way to hint that the counts shouldn’t be trusted. As an example, in one Canadaland episode the hosts praised a study put out by The Breach into the pro-Israel bias at CTV.
