I am curious what Canadians think of this argument. Does it seem true? It's hard for me, a USA resident who doesn't follow the CBC, to really evaluate.
It doesn't really seem authentic. To an extent, yes there is an increased focus on some of the things mentioned. But for it to be entirely true, I'd kind of expect them to be inarguably soft on left-leaning politicians, especially the prime minister. But I don't see that at all, if anything, they've become more critical of particularly specious policy moves and bills being proposed. A more suspicious person would claim it's a smokescreen, but it seems to me to a reasonable source of news, at least more so than Global, The Gaurdian a lot of the time, and certainly any of The Sun variants out there.
