‘We betrayed the public. We broke their trust … We were, in fact, pushing propaganda,’ said former CBC journalist Marianne Klowak. The CBC’s political corruption was a primary theme on the second day of the National Citizen’s Inquiry in Ottawa. The conference is described by its organizers as a citizen-led investigation into Canada’s federal and provincial governments’ COVID-19 responses. The event’s invited speakers included several former employees of the CBC sharing their insights into the state-funded news media outlet’s dissemination of misinformation and abuse of its employees with “vaccine mandates.” The featured guests offered their remarks as sworn testimony.
