The CBC and Radio-Canada are returning to Twitter after pausing activity last month over their designation as "government-funded media" by the social media platform.
Canadians chose hope over fear and anger in 2015 and they will be faced with that choice again the next time they go to the polls, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in his opening night keynote speech to Liberal faithful at the party's policy convention in Ottawa.
Alberta United Conservative Leader Danielle Smith won’t say if she will follow through on her threat to sue the CBC for defamation over its coverage of her role in prosecuting COVID-19 court cases.
The CBC has retreated from Twitter after Elon Musk slapped a "government-funded media" label on its account. Columnist Max Fawcett says it needs to stop backing down and start speaking up.
What do Elon Musk and Pierre Poilievre have in common? Both want to take the fight to the "mainstream media" — and both are damaging our ability to have a fact-based conversation in the process, writes columnist Max Fawcett.
"Twitter can be a powerful tool for our journalists to communicate with Canadians, but it undermines the accuracy and professionalism of the work they do to allow our independence to be falsely described in this way," CBC media relations director Leon Mar said in a statement Monday afternoon.
News of the addition to @CBC was shared late Sunday on Twitter by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who had asked the social media company to add the label to accounts that promote "news-related" content from CBC English but did not ask the same for its French counterpart.
Premier Danielle Smith must explain to Albertans why she discussed a criminal case with the accused before his trial, whether she still believes such calls are OK and whether she will continue to have these conversations, legal experts and political scientists say.
Big tech companies that offer online streaming services could soon be required to contribute to Canadian content as a controversial Liberal bill gets one step closer to becoming law.
Canada isn’t in any danger of embracing Hungarian-style fascism, but the manipulation of the media could easily serve as an inspiration for our conservatives, writes columnist Max Fawcett.
