A great many Canadians believe the reserve system should be done away with and indigenous Canadians should be treated like everyone else, for example. You will never hear anyone on CBC radio even hint that such an opinion in widespread, let alone treat is seriously or give it any kind of credence.

Jordan Peterson is the unquestionably the most well-known and influential academic in Canada at the moment. Is there another professor in the country whose videos get 50k views on Youtube on the same day they're posted? Regardless of what you think about his politics, he's a genuine public intellectual. One would imagine the CBC would be doing the proud Canadian thing and featuring him in all sorts of flattering profiles and discussions. Instead, the one interview they did with him was embarrassing in its lack of professionalism.
