This is fast becoming a train wreck for the CBC.
The fake production company acting on behalf of CBC, involved in setting up conservative critics, including Lindsay Shepherd and Frances Widdowson, in bogus interviews, attempted to also lure Conservative MP Aaron Gunn with the promise of “reclaiming the legacy of Sir John A Macdonald.”
Internal correspondence from Gunn’s office shows staff were told the project was being prepared for CBC, which was allegedly “under pressure to provide a balanced view surrounding John A. Macdonald.
Two producers, using the aliases “Olivia Goldman” of “Nova Frame Productions” and “Pam Gibson” of “Forge Media,” repeatedly portrayed the project as an effort to “reclaim” Macdonald’s legacy, defend Canadian heritage and provide a national platform for conservatives who felt censored or demonized for challenging prevailing reconciliation narratives. Pam Gibson was later identified as Molly Gore, an American producer who has worked on left-wing ecosocialist documentaries.
The newly uncovered email chain shows the operation spent months cultivating trust with conservative organizers, video producers and eventually Gunn’s parliamentary office by carefully mirroring conservative concerns about free speech, Indigenous land disputes and attacks on Canada’s founder.

Wake me when something actually happens to at least one of these arseholes.
And don’t fcking kid yourselves, these bastards will learn from their mistakes and continue their assault on the truth.
Because honoring the legacy of dead white colonists is fair game for all manner of hijinks by the population replacers and indigenous grifters … and their media mouthpieces … and their government benefactors (paid for with YOUR tax dollars charged against YOUR productivity).
Sorry … but I just wrote a check for a $5,400.00 underpayment of my FEDERAL income taxes … and that’s AFTER Trump saved me a butt load ($12k) in taxable income … so I’m not in much of a pro-government-waste mood.
A trainwreck? Seriously? does anybody with an IQ above 20 think there will be consequences? This is a totalitarian shitstain of a country full of coward sheep. Nothing will happen. I am getting so I don’t even want to take a piss outside as it would give this godforsaken shithole grace it doesn’t deserve.
Another $500 fine? Or will some low-level manager 2 weeks from retirement volunteer a mea culpa in exchange for future favours?
“All the news that is fit to manufacture.”
Policy based narrative manufacturing.
As has already been noted..
However much you hate the government funded media,it is not enough.
We will soon learn,that the “exposure of the fake separatists” for using an Elections Alberta list,was another head fake..
The first clue being the coordinated attempt to smear all the other Alberta Independence groups with this story..in every government outlet,with the identical words and “conclusions”.
Funny thing about their “story” the media were the only people who knew who The Centurian group was..
Tell me again why I have to support the CBC with my taxes? They are scum.
Because their overseers are certain that you are scum and that you cannot possibly understand the world around you without their guidance. And that those who disagree should be liquidated.
You forgot the “psycopathic” before “scum”.
I say again: lawsuits. Lawsuits are the only answer to this kind of behavior.
Great big *well-publicized* lawsuits, naming everyone even remotely involved. Big enough that the US news media picks up on it (because ours certainly won’t).
That’s how you bypass their Canadian government protection and make it actually hurt them.
For the love of God if i hear one more Canadian talk about the courts. They are as corrupt as everything else in this third world tin pot shithole. The court will rule how the PMO and PCO tell them to rule.
Well, it’s nice to know there’s at least a few of us who get it.
” The court will rule how the PMO and PCO tell them to rule.”
Possibly, but I’m hoping that international exposure will embarrass them enough to force them to do the right thing (that’s why I said “well-publicized”).
Governments hate bright lights being shone on them when they are trying to pull a fast one on the public.

You don’t hate the CBC nearly enough!
Both Shepherd and Widdowson signed releases, allowing their interviews to be broadcast. But if those releases were acquired under false pretences — and it seems obvious they were — then this constitutes fraudulent misrepresentation, voiding the contract.
Which means that the shows could not be broadcast without inviting lawsuits.
I give the CBC credit for accurately reporting this story.

The video provided by Widdowson is particularly revealing… and disturbing. But it’s fun watching her trying to unwind what’s happening. She’s not stupid.
