CBC News in Crisis Mode: Distancing Itself from Deceptive "Prank" Show CBC News is scrambling to separate its news division from a controversial satirical prank series funded in part by CBC Entertainment and APTN Former professor Frances Widdowson was lured under false pretenses of a legitimate documentary, only to have children’s shoes dumped on the table in a staged stunt. She was targeted for questioning the residential schools narrative, particularly claims of “unmarked graves” at Kamloops CBC senior entertainment reporter Griffin Yeager claimed “unmarked graves found” at Kamloops — despite CBC’s own Public Editor admitting on April 17, 2025, that no graves or human remains have been confirmed there The production by NLT1 Productions (funded by the Indigenous Screen Office) used deceptive tactics resembling journalism to ambush critics. Other targets included CPC MP Aaron Gunn. CBC conveniently omitted this CBC claims “no involvement” by its news division and calls it “established satire.” Yet public dollars were used to target Canadians for their political views by people falsely representing themselves as CBC documentary producers... a practice many rightly condemn “Many are questioning whether public dollars should be spent for pranks targeting people for their political views.” This deceptive production raises serious ethical and legal concerns (misrepresentation, misuse of public funds). CBC remains exposed to potential legal action. The show should never have been greenlit This report demands a number of corrections Griffin Jaeger Aaron Gunn Frances Widdowson Lindsay Shepherd CEO | PDG

Another CBC/APTN target for Sir John A Macdonald wrongthink, Jerry Amernic "When I first heard CBC, as I told you earlier, why, I said the CBC is no friend of John A Macdonald's" "...And I have a problem with people who tell falsehoods about our history and base it and really are propelled by an ideology, an ideology and an agenda." "And I think that agenda is to undermine the country and tear down all its institutions." Frances Widdowson Lindsay Shepherd CEO | PDG

Never seen anything like this on CBC in prime time Kirk's widow Erika "I forgive him because it was what Christ did and is what Charlie would do." "The answer to hate is not hate."

Widdowson last evening on the CBC/APTN/NTV1 taxpayer funded revenge production. The pool of targets grows to include multiple retired RCMP officers... she expects some will speak out in the next few days "So the situation, as far as I understand it, is involves probably six retired RCMP officers." "The RCMP Veterans association send, sent out a notice to all its members asking if they wanted to participate in the, the film documentary called After the Call" This group clearly deceived a lot of people. "Is it you damage someone psychologically and then you cut them a check? That's disgusting." CEO | PDG Frances Widdowson Lindsay Shepherd

Fake interviews. Fake documents. Fake company. Then ambushed her on camera. CBC’s own PR Director confirmed it in writing: “This project is in early production for CBC Entertainment and APTN.” CTV called my verified content “Deception Decoded.” CBC funded ACTUAL deception.

If you haven’t heard about this story, it will shock you. The CBC (state-funded media) with APTN (a nonprofit aboriginals people television network) co-produced an alleged satirical prank comedy series called Northland Tales. They duped two prominent conservatives Francis Widdowson (who has been a critic of certain indigenous policy narratives) and Lindsay Shepherd (free speech advocate, and former conservative party of BC staffer) into participating in what they thought was going to be a bona fide documentary. Listen to this. What the CBC has done is borderline criminal - if not outright criminal.

Wow. Just f'king wow. The lengths to which revenge minded idiots with the backing of the CBC's purse will go to try to humiliate people who have already been canceled "...it's one thing to be pranked as a passerby on the street, but it's quite another for a government backed, government funded entity to use fake identities, fake websites, fake company names, etc." "I don't know, how does it look good for indigenous filmmakers to hire Americans with Canadians tax dollars to attack Canada's founding father and anyone who supports him. So I don't get it." CBC needs to own this shitshow and stop trying to pretend it's arms length. The independent producer handbook from CBC shows that there is a CBC exec overseeing this once in production. Call this producer before the Heritage Committee Watch it all and demand this project release the unedited footage of the attempted targeting CEO | PDG Maxime Bertrand Rachael Thomas

CLEAR CBC FALSE REPORTING - Watch CBC senior reporter Marina von Stackelberg present a selectively edited version of Poilievre's answer below. It deliberately removes his criticism of CBC's correction She also lies: "Poilievre did not directly answer questions about his leadership or whether or not he was afraid that more conservatives would be leaving." Poilievre clearly answers the question with a "No" at the 2:15 mark of the video below. CBC's editing and reporting on this whole topic has been deeply flawed and deliberately misleading In addition to d'Entrement's lies that they continue to cover for, we now have CBC lying about Poilievre's answers Brodie Fenlon Maxime Bertrand Chris Carter

CBC entertainment reporter "Widdowson's been vocal about her questioning of unmarked graves found at a residential school in Kamloops, BC, and was fired in 2021 from Mount Royal University." On April 16, 2025, CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton stated on air: “Yes, there have been remains of Indigenous children found in various places across the country.” CBC issued a correction the next day, clarifying that communities had identified potential unmarked graves or burial sites via ground-penetrating radar (GPR), but no human remains had been confirmed. Now CBC entertainment staff are blurring lines with journalism to advance political narratives... particularly around residential schools... contributing to a climate where challenging the dominant false story can cost people their jobs, even if they are being truthful CBC and APTN weren't merely satisfied that Widdowson lost her job, they wanted to use the coercive and vindictive powers of the state broadcaster to hold her up for mass ridicule CBC was a big part of creating the false "mass grave" false narrative. It has to keep up the fiction with massive amounts of taxpayer cash to anyone that falls out of line

David Cochrane apologizes for his no pushback interview with the Iranian Canadian Congress Islamist regime apologist "And you criticized that interview for falling short of standards and really allowing a platform for the narrative of the Iranian regime." "And look, I'm not going to argue with you." "...And we fell short as a team and I'm sorry about that. And I fell short as a host because I'm ultimately responsible for what happened." "So I do want to apologize to you for that because I know this is a source of great consternation and some hurt and that was not our intention and I'm sorry that happened and I'm glad you're here to sort of speak about it." Arsalan Kahnemuyipour "The fact of the matter is people distrust the organization." "And to suggest that this was instigated by Israel or foreign forces is obviously offensive to the Iranian Canadian community." "But within the Iranian Canadian community, they're definitely, this is a fringe type of ideology. They probably represent more than less than 0.5, 0.5% of the Iranian Canadian community population." Cochrane "How do they get standing at something like a foreign interference inquiry when you and so many others voice concern that essentially this is, this organization supports the positions of the Iranian regime in practice and in word?" That is something CBC itself should do a separate news expose on... not as a posed question to a guest after a formal apology

And he describes CBC "And to be perfectly frank, we in the mainstream didn't in fact, too many people in the mainstream closed down legitimate criticisms of the immigration system."

CBC in retreat after bizarre undercover sting to humiliate conservative women On The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 reacted to the CBC setting up an undercover sting operation in an attempt to humiliate conservatives. After setting up fake companies and personas, employees of the CBC reportedly tried to meet up with Dr. Frances Widdowson and Lindsay Shepherd under false pretenses. Both women were seemingly targeted by the CBC because they reject the view that Sir John A. Macdonald was genocidal, instead viewing him as a nation-building hero. The employees then tried to film the women saying incriminating things before ultimately revealing themselves. The CBC misled the women into believing they were allies, all while secretly filming and provoking them in hopes of capturing an incriminating reaction. Ezra commented on the disturbing story, noting taxpayer funding appears to have been used to attack free speech activists for not kowtowing to mainstream narratives. "The CBC set up a massive sting operation, setting up fake companies and giving their people fake names to get close to Lindsay Shepherd and Frances Widdowson by telling them flattering lies — we love you, we're supporting you, what you're doing is very brave — and then to trick them by filming ... provoking them and, doing things to get a reaction," he said. "It's just sort of incredible. Don't you find it interesting that both women I just mentioned were fired for their views. So these are not strong people crushing weak people. These are people who themselves were crushed, fired for their views, and yet the mighty CBC thinks they're the ones to do this to," Ezra continued. "It would be something if they went after a cabinet minister or exposed some sort of grift or graft. That's what James O'Keefe does at Project Veritas. You could say that his people are deceptive in that they claim to be strangers found on a dating app, but they don't trick people into saying things ... and the people that James O'Keefe always goes after are powerful people in powerful organizations," he added. The CBC has since confirmed its involvement in the project, which was produced as part of a CBC Entertainment initiative that received funding from Canadian Heritage grants. The sting operation reportedly involved approximately 25 CBC staff members and used at least two fake production companies, including one named 'Forge Media.'
