In his provocative new book The CBC: How Canada’s Public Broadcaster Lost Its Voice (And How to Get It Back) — set for release with Sutherland House Books on September 16, 2025 — veteran producer and broadcaster David Cayley examines the decline of the institution he served for more than four decades. He argues that the CBC has abandoned its duty to speak to and for the whole country, retreating instead into narrow ideological echo chambers. In this excerpt, Cayley recalls how the broadcaster’s response to the 2022 Freedom Convoy crystallized its inability to engage with Canadians across political divides.  Read More
