The CBC lied before, and under Mark Carney, they're going to lie harder. And with even more of your money than ever before, Chris Dacey joins me to discuss his first interaction with a post-election Mark Carney.
00:00:45.000And under Mark Carney, they're going to lie harder.
00:00:47.740And with even more of your money than independent journalist Chris Dacey joins me to discuss his first interaction with a post-election Mark Carney.
00:01:51.800And now that unelected banker-turned-politician Mark Carney has clawed his way into power through the back door of a liberal minority, Canada's state broadcaster is going to lie harder, louder, and more aggressively than ever before.
00:02:10.520Let's be honest, though, the CBC stopped being a journalistic institution a very long time ago.
00:02:15.240Today, it's a taxpayer-funded disinformation factory, and if you still had doubts, Carney just erased them all because Carney promised to give CBC a $150 million boost in funding, despite record low ratings, plummeting public trust, and viewership numbers so bad they'd be canceled if they weren't subsidized.
00:02:35.960So why is Carney throwing money at a network nobody watches?
00:02:42.300And they know their jobs depend on it.
00:02:44.540And if you ever wondered why Rosemary Barton acts like a protective wingman whenever somebody says something harsh but true about Mark Carney, it's because she's auditioning for survival.
00:02:55.940They're all acting like their pensions depend on Carney staying in power because they do.
00:05:52.860I'm just going to say you know where I'm going to go with it, though.
00:05:54.320Your party takes pride in standing against hate, such as white supremacy, Islamophobia, and online hate speech.
00:06:01.220Yet you stay silent about ongoing attacks against Christians, even after Conservative MP Jamil Javani's order paper question revealed that over 200 churches have been targeted by arson and vandalism since claims of remains being discovered at former residential schools swept the nation in 2021.
00:06:21.260These claims have been disproven by bans that excavated and remain unproven by those that have not.
00:06:28.340Will you condemn the rise in acts of hate against Christians today and explain what your party will do moving forward to keep Christians safe from hate in Canada?
00:06:40.340Again, thank you, but I'm not going to respond to an organization that promotes misinformation and disinformation like Rebel News, so no, I'm not going to respond to your question.
00:06:48.620Please keep the questions and answers short.
00:07:04.940And they diverted police and resources and put others at risk.
00:07:10.240What do you say to Canadians who see your refusal to answer, especially from one of the few media outlets here that are not funded by the state, as proof that a vote for you is a vote for a dangerous radical party that gaslights the public into thinking it stands against hate, when its silence is instead emboldening Christophobia?
00:07:30.020Your question is another example of why I don't respond to agencies like Rebel News that promote misinformation and disinformation.
00:07:37.020And Rosemary Barton, Canada's taxpayer-funded mean girl, while she went on her national TV program during the 2025 federal election debates and accused Drea of residential school denialism.
00:07:54.580A racialized, to use their language, female journalist publicly defamed during a federal election by the national state broadcaster.
00:08:02.960I think we have to sort of address the elephant in the room.
00:08:06.520How are these people chosen to answer these questions?
00:08:10.080And I don't know if either one of you have an answer for that, but I think there will be people at home saying, some of these seem like odd questions, some of them aren't getting answered.
00:08:17.360How come we've heard so often from this one particular outlet?
00:08:21.820There's three right-wing, very right-wing media, we can call them media, websites that are present in there.
00:08:30.260They get in line to ask a question like anybody else.
00:08:32.980Their accreditation has been approved by the Commission of Debates, and so they get the right to stand in line and ask a question that they choose to ask.
00:08:41.540In this case, you saw Mr. Singh, and this has been his position for some time, to refuse to answer questions.
00:08:47.380Rebel news in particular, traffics in misinformation, facts, lack of facts.
00:08:52.420And as you heard in that question, which was woven with some truth and some things that weren't true.
00:08:58.800Yes, there have been burnings of Christian Catholic churches.
00:09:02.300Yes, there have been remains of Indigenous children found in various places around the country, which she misrepresented.
00:09:09.880And when the truth came out, CBC didn't correct it on air.
00:09:31.480During the 2025 leaders debate, CBC hosts David Cochran and Barton again pressured the Debates Commission to ban Rebel News from attending,
00:09:39.620despite two court rulings saying that it was illegal to block them.
00:09:43.100They also publicly said that our accreditation was revoked.
