@AlisonCreekside #CTV is a deeply a compromised news org. Media like them caving to conservative and zionist trolls is how we end up losing democracy.

"If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?" - Rachel Gilmore

I'm so glad Rachel recorded the phone call. Every Canadian should hear how cowardly CTV news really is.

@johncormier @CTVNews Andy Petersen’s Grade 10 son didn’t go. “They’re all disappointed. They had ramped up the number of rehearsals & were literally a foot out the door & the district & superintendent, slammed the door on them. It would be nice if the superintendent had, I guess I’ll say the courage, to talk to them & explain the decision making process.” Mr. Peterson was apparently unable to get his grade 10 son to understand so #CTV commiserated with him. #ICE concerns? Meh.

This is absolutely wild, a massive & total failure by #CTV.

The fact that #RachelGilmore is incessantly targeted & harassed by right-wing, Poilievre supporting agitators & trolls *is* part of the election. The attacks on journalists, the misinformation, disinformation, threats & silencing is *in of itself* an important part of the news of the #election happening in #Canada right now & CTV, instead of reporting on it, has decided to duck for cover. #shame

"That backlash included a person from Pierre Poilievre’s team." #cdnpoli

Here are the phone numbers , if you want to give a shout out to...ermmm.... at CTV for cancelling the fact-checker

NOTE: Some are experiencing call issues, so my suggestion is to try an email if you can't get through via a phone call..

The #UnitedStates government has pinpointed #Quebec’s #Bill96, “An Act respecting #French, the official and common language of Quebec,” as a hindrance that could impact #trade between the U.S. and #Canada.

The 2025 National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers, published last month, highlights “significant foreign barriers to U.S. exports, U.S. foreign direct investment, and U.S. electronic #commerce.”

CTVNews · U.S. government classifies Quebec’s Bill 96 as ‘foreign trade barrier’The United States government has pinpointed Quebec’s Bill 96, 'An Act respecting French, the official and common language of Quebec,' as a hindrance that could impact trade between the U.S. and Canada.

#CTV just proved they care more about appeasing bullies than telling the truth. They cancelled a fact-checking segment after pressure from Poilievre’s Conservatives. So much for journalistic integrity.
If facts make you uncomfortable, CTV will now just... stop reporting them?
Pathetic. Cowardly. Dangerous.
