Where's Linda Leatherdale's byline-stealing ass? Oh wait - the Sun isn't saying.

Bottom line. CBC believes in diversity for women/visible minorities etc. providing they don't have a conservative point of view.

Re: Where's Travis Dhanraj?
That's odd, I never considered Travis Dhanraj to be on the conservative side of the spectrum. When he was at Global News and when he did some reporting for AM640/Q107 I always thought he was pretty rough on Doug Ford and the conservatives during COVID. In fact during the COVID press conferences at times he seemed almost hostile to Ford. He also gave Patrick Brown grief when he was leader of the PC's.
I didn't watch his Canada Tonight show much on CBC News Channel and overall I wasn't really that impressed with either him or the show. Topics he was covering and his guests didn't really interest me that much whenever I took the time to watch. Maybe ratings for his program were not good?
Ian Hanomansing to me is a better choice for 8pm timeslot on the network. Ian seems to me to be fair and usually right up the middle in his style.
If he sues CBC, it will be interesting to see what he says, and if CBC was trying to direct him to have a certain position in his reporting and interviews.
