NEW: CTV cancelled a fact-checking segment in response to political pressure from Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives
An audio recording obtained by PressProgress shows CTV cancelled an ‘election misinformation’ segment with journalist Rachel Gilmore after online backlash from conservatives
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

Just as 'the state has no place in the bedrooms of the nation,' the media has no business prying into the private lives of politicians' families.

If you haven't written your local municipal officials, MLA's and MP's in a while, maybe it's time to do so.
