Travis Dhanraj is not who you’d expect a CBC critic to be. He’s not a conservative. He supports public broadcasting. As the host of “Canada Tonight,” he championed diversity. But as he tells Brian Lilley, he eventually discovered how shallow the broadcaster’s commitment was to its proclaimed values and its mandate. He explains how political coverage was controlled by a handful of politically biased personalities exercising veto control over shows seeking conservative perspectives. He also tells Lilley about the preposterous stunts the CBC used to pay lip service to its standards, the corporation’s degrading human resources practices and the lack of accountability and transparency from the top that, once he dared to challenge it, had network executives trying to silence him. (Recorded March 12, 2026.)
