CBC is the public broadcaster in Canada, and Marketplace specifically has a good record of consumer-oriented investigative journalism like this. You might be familiar with another report a few years ago from them that found that Subway chicken may contain as much as 50% soy filler: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/marketplace-chicken-fast-food-1.3993967 https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/marketplace-chicken-fast-fo... I'm personally more likely to trust Marketplace than not.

While caution is needed with all media, more caution than usual should be used with anything coming out of CBC, especially recently. In January 2022, for example, a long-time former journalist with CBC discussed some objectivity and quality concerns: https://tarahenley.substack.com/p/speaking-freely https://tarahenley.substack.com/p/speaking-freely Among the mainstream news organizations in Canada, CBC is, in my opinion and experience, the least-trustworthy and lowest-quality of them.

  Elsewhere on this site, you proclaimed to be a libertarian opposed to almost any and all government-related functions. There's nothing wrong with that of course, but... I suspect that probably colours your opinion somewhat? If you've got data or research that supports your argument that the CBC is, as a whole, deserving of such low quality and trust, I'm genuinely interested to hear it. Otherwise, it just reads as ideological opposition as opposed to genuine criticism. FYI, your source now contributes to the Daily Mail and Fox News. By her own admission she is staunchly against the "woke" agenda (whatever that is). Here's an interview with her that balances out your provided link - https://www.canadaland.com/tara-henley-cbc/ https://www.canadaland.com/tara-henley-cbc/
