I'm wiling to bet Peterson's book makes it into the top 5 non-fiction books in Canada. And clearly the CBC finds issues of campus activism, gender, and free speech are worthy of addressing. They run stories on them all the time. They just won't interview the person who is more prominent on those subjects than anyone else in the country.
Want an example of CBC bias? Last week they broadcast this feature on the the Current:
Is there a generational divide in the #MeToo movement?
Did they mention that Margaret Atwood criticized younger feminists for their neglect of due process and ideological fervour that does away with nuance? Or have Atwood on the show to present her point of view? Of course not. They couldn't pit their guests against a Canadian feminist icon like that. Instead, representing the old feminists they quoted
Christina Hoff Summers on the Tucker Carlson show. And then they had three guests who all agreed with one another talk about toxic masculinity.
Clearly the producers had no interest in giving any validity to the issue or looking at it with nuance. They took a genuine issue and torqued the ever-lovin' beejeezus out of it to send the message they wanted to send. Which is what the CBC does with pretty much any social issue these days. No differing points of view. No nuance. Just the same narrow ideological point of view championed over and over again.
