Opinion: In asking Twitter to label CBC as “government-funded media,” the Conservative leader’s game is clear, writes bruce_arthur
“We must protect Canadians against disinformation and manipulation by state media,” wrote Poilievre. “That is why I’m asking @Twitter @elonmusk to accurately label CBC as ‘government-funded media.’ It is a fact. And Canadians deserve the facts.”
But it’s the attempt to conflate funding with control where this gets ugly, and Poilievre is clear about that when he writes, “we must protect Canadians against disinformation and manipulation by state media.” Look, I recognize that we as a nation have internalized the CPC’s hostility to the CBC as a given, fromto Poilievre promising to defund the Corporation. It’s just what they do.
But in an era of anti-institutional anger, the war is escalating. CBC president Catherine Tait said to the Globe and Mail in February that “There is a lot of CBC-bashing going on — somewhat stoked by the Leader of the Opposition. I think they feel the CBC is a mouthpiece for the Liberal government.”
