CBC isn't for-profit.
She also talks about how subtlety . You really can't ignore nuance in any of these 'hit piece' type of articles cuz it's really about grey area instead of white and black.
Other than repeating what she said in her article, it reads like she just handled the reporters "gotcha" questions which is something reporters do. We just saw Jim Matheson do the same thing with Leon Draistaitl.
If you need proof after proof that her opinion is real, I dunno what to tell you.
To me her opinion sounds in line with the stuff that's talked about in Real Time on HBO. For everything extra about Bill Maher, he does make strong points about how illiberal liberalism is these days.

It just sounds like Tara Henley wanted to work at Fox News and Jesse Brown calls her out on her examples. The "birthing person" example is hilarious as it showed up twice in CBC articles.
How do having articles about COVID and vaccine mandates show left-leaning bias?
How does not covering the opioid crisis (to be honest, the CBC has several articles on this) show left-leaning bias?
How does wanting to have a few more POCs for representation on news items show left-leaning bias?
