I agree.
the CBC was founded as a bulwark against US cultural imperialism, to ensure we had canadian news and canadian culture.
there should be a renewed emphasis on that mandate, particularly to stop reporting so much on what happens in the US for eyeballs and ad dollars.

In January, I published an article about the accrediting organization NASPAA.
This article was under investigation for several months.
Here's my statement about that. Non-US scholars, especially in the Global South, may be interested.

Someone wanted my NASPAA article removed from publication.
What happened when I published an article critical of the accrediting organization NASPAA? A five-month investigation into the integrity of my research. Here's what it uncovered.

There’s an old idea that you campaign in poetry and govern in prose. But then there’s what that means when your head of state comes to town
