Canada’s Government Owned News Media

OTTAWA — The head of the union representing RCMP members is seeking answers for how a CBC-related production was approved that targeted retired Mounties under the pretence of being celebrated for their service, but which ultimately turned out to be a prank.

Brian Sauve, president of the National Police Federation, which represents roughly 20,000 current and former RCMP members, says he was recently contacted by a retired member who recounted having been approached by the program, saying he knows of others who were as well.

This was a calculated political smear job to promote extreme-left agendas.

Prime Minister Mark Carney stood before the cameras on May 3, 2026 – World Press Freedom Day – and had this to say: “Journalism empowers us with truth and protects our democracy.”

Also, “We must protect what it means to be Canadian.”

And, “In a sea of foreign media and disinformation, we need Canadian voices more than ever.”

In an era when objective truth is a nice-to-have and the bar for politicians is in the depths of hell, it’s helpful to have someone like Rosemary Barton in the mix. For more than two decades, Barton, currently the CBC’s chief political correspondent, has chatted with, fact-checked and, when the occasion merits it, borderline interrogated the country’s most consequential public figures. Lately, thanks to some unusually exciting policy shifts under our refreshingly boring new prime minister, Canada’s newsmakers are commanding global headlines. But first, they’ll probably pop up on Rosemary Barton Live.

Government bought media giving a tongue bath to government bought media.

Careful as spittle may leak through your screen.
