Breakdown: Back at it Again at CBC ft. Jeremy Appel
Debacles, extremists, neoliberals. It's been great.
This week on The North State, independent Alberta journalist Jeremy Appel joins me to wade through two big stories around the CBC, CAF members in an extremist FB group, and the nigh-impenetrable trade talks between Carney and Trump. RSS Feed here.
Description
It's the Canadian Breakdown Corporation this week on The North State. In a scathing email, former host of Canada Tonight Travis Dhanraj told CBC employees that he was "forced to resign," and condemned the atmosphere at the public broadcaster. Figures, since we were going to talk about an abysmal first-person article written by a convoy antivax Alberta separatist published at CBC News. Then, news compartmentalizes extremist CAF Facebook group away from supercharged military funding, what are they missing? Finally, Prime Minister Carney's been having high-level trade talks with President Trump. The only thing we know is that he caves at pretty much every turn. How are Canadians being served by this opaque conduction of trade talks? Independent Alberta journalist at The Orchard Jeremy Appel joins Scott to breakdown these stories.
CORRECTION: Literally as we were recording, Trump sent out letters to delay tariffs again.
