Show Notes

Canada’s media system is under fire. Trust is collapsing, legacy outlets are struggling, and billions in government subsidies, the CBC, and CRTC regulation are raising big questions. 

Is the system broken? Who’s really controlling the narrative? And what happens to democracy if Canadians stop believing the news? 

Join David Leis live with Peter Menzies (former CRTC Vice-Chair), Candice Malcolm (Founder, True North & Juno News), and Marco Navarro-Genie (VP of Research, Frontier Centre) as they expose what’s gone wrong—and the policy solutions that could change everything and what can you do.  

This affects what you see, what you hear, and what you believe.
