CBC’s coverage of the Canadian wildfire smoke choking US cities this week has been a textbook case of omission The network ran multiple interviews with climate activists framing the fires as unquestionable proof of climate change. Yet in the only segment even touching forest management — this piece highlighting complaints from Michigan Republican lawmakers — CBC quickly pivots to Carney government talking points about “global cooperation” and “climate change being a global problem,” while giving almost no airtime to practical forestry solutions Where is the discussion of: * Proactive clearing of pine beetle-killed timber? * Scaled-up controlled burns (including Indigenous-led practices)? * Regular removal of deadwood and underbrush? Where is the historical context on Canada’s steady decline in active forestry labour and management intensity since the late 1980s? Those are measurable policy and resource choices, not weather An average Canadian cannot let their roof rot for years, then blame “climate change” when it collapses in a storm. Yet when it comes to our publicly managed forests, CBC treats neglect of basic maintenance as off-limits for debate. Instead, the network allows activist guests to declare the cause “unquestionably climate change” with zero pushback or counter-analysis. Forest management is not a partisan issue — it is land stewardship Canadians cannot lecture Americans about transboundary pollution while neglecting basic land stewardship. In the 1970s and 1980s, Canadian politicians repeatedly scolded the US over acid rain drifting from Midwest coal plants, demanding action and treaties because it was damaging Canadian lakes and forests. They didn’t simply blame “global climate patterns” and move on — they insisted on accountability for preventable emissions and management failures on the American side and Americans followed through Responsible coverage would examine both long-term climate trends ANDthe on-the-ground failures in prevention and maintenance. CBC has chosen the former while burying the latter. That’s not journalism; it’s advocacy. Canadians and our American neighbours deserve better This all merits an Ombudman complaint Brodie Fenlon Maxime Bertrand
