Harper Did Not Defund the CBC

But he should have.

Case in point:

Ciann Wilson, a member of the African, Caribbean and Black Network of Waterloo Region, believes that the car break-in was "intimidation intended to discourage her advocacy work."

The professor at Wilfrid Laurier University attributes the incident to her activism in the "Defund the Police" movement. No corroborating evidence was submitted to law enforcement, because she felt that "racialized communities do not always feel safe reporting incidents to police."

Earlier this month, Wilson allegedly awoke to her car rummaged through. Personal documents, papers and mail were scattered; however, nothing appeared to have been stolen, Wilson stated. ...

Kay reflected on CBC's determination to share the experiences of Black Canadians "to convince black readers that they live in Nordic Rhodesia." He questioned if a quota is set for the number of these inclusive stories. "I can't think of another explanation for this train wreck getting published," Kay added.

Then Kay exposed CBC for editing the most egregious quotes out of the poorly-sourced piece. Screenshots revealed that Wilson had stated on record: "We know what happens when white settlers feel threatened."

 

It's not like the CBC was established to tell the truth or anything.
