For Canadians who are not of a left-wing progressive political perspective, much of the CBC’s reporting on their progress on supposed “diversity” may come across as quite concerning.
It shouldn’t come as news that the CBC’s working definition of “diversity” is purely based on race/ethnicity. The CRTC licensing commission was specifically focusing on progress on “the CBC’s pledge to hire more staff and managers from underrepresented groups.”
The CBC admits to having made significant changes to their policies relating to diversity and inclusion as a response to 500 current and former employees complaining about the alleged “systemic racism” around the time of the BLM protests and riots during the summer of 2020, which the CBC only refers to as “protests”.
