Governments over the past few decades have created a moral hazard where there’s no incentive by management to solve grievances. The government is the teacher corporate cries to when they’re demanded accountability

There was nothing that was in any way good faith about the pushback, and CTV rolled over. That's how I see this.

I spoke to @sonjfatah.bsky.social, associate chair of TMU's journalism school, who said this illustrates the threat political pressure campaigns pose to press freedoms in Canada:

“It’s a sacrifice of a journalist ...They don’t want to have to deal with the reaction from the trolls.”

Absolutely shameful that CTV caved to a disingenuous right-wing pressure campaign instead of standing their ground. It presents even more red flags about the state of the media in Canada.

@rachelgilmore.bsky.social did not deserve to be treated this way.

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom.

If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?

A dangerous precedent. This is a cowardly folding by CTV. The right instigated an online troll attack campaign, offering no evidence of their claims, and the network folded.

Viewers and Rachel deserve better.

What happened to @rachelgilmore.bsky.social is not just about CTV caving to Conservative pressures. There’s a larger issue: #cdnmedia are pushing out any female voices, voices of colour and Indigenous voices that aren’t centre-right or right. Even then there is very little representation

To be super clear:

CTV Your Morning *approached* @rachelgilmore.bsky.social to do a weekly segment

CTV announced on *national TV* she would be returning each week

Then CTV *cancels* her segment after Poilievre’s staffer denounces the announcement on X

I have been given 4 eagle feathers in my years working with the Cree people. It is a sacred trust. I rarely bring them out.
But in facing down Trump we need to invoke our inner warrior spirit.
I hold the feather aloft as a sign of respect and determination.
We will not break.
Not now.
Not ever.

Can’t be said enough: the right in Canada bleated on for years about patriotism & people not being proud of Canada, of wokeness, reconciliation, statue removal, etc as the problem. Then they are first to lay down in front of a foreign strongman who makes them half chub horny. It was all bullshit.
