The CBC has essentially no-platformed the most prominent Canadian intellectual in the world today because they don't like what he says. If you're okay with that, I think you need to admit that you simply want the CBC to be a mouthpiece for your own ideological beliefs.

His book didn’t make the Globe and Mail or the National Post’s lists of best 100 books of 2017 either so, no, I don’t find it that strange. There is at least one reasonable explanation that does not involve a CBC conspiracy.
In terms of my own biases, I listen to CBC radio in the car regularly. I sometimes watch the National. Generally, I like CBC’s programming. But I don’t want it to be a mouthpiece for my political views (indeed, I frequently disagree with members of its panels on the National). Does that make me biased? Well, yeah, probably a little.
