Today, senior executives from CBC/RadioCanada came to testify before the Standing Senate Committee on Transport and Communications. I had the chance to ask a lot of questions. But I made sure to ask why the CBC is still committed to X - and why they haven't investigated Mastodon (and Bluesky). Here's my exchange with CEO Marie-Philippe Bouchard and Editor in Chief @brodiefenlon. #CBC #Mastodon #X #Bluesky #SRC #Canada #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #TRCM #CanadianBroadcastingCorporation #SocialMedia https://youtu.be/lJUeQZlvD-E?si=msTknV5VyaI-drCD
@brodiefenlon when will CBC News join us & lead by example? Sen. Paula Simons asked:
“Why is CBC still on X — full of hate & disinfo — & not exploring Mastodon, a non-commercial, Canadian-friendly space for public media?”
NPR 🇺🇸 & ABC Australia 🇦🇺 left X, proving you can walk from billionaire-run chaos & still reach ppl. Let’s ask CBC to join the ppl’s social media — the Fediverse. Boost & tag @CBCNews to follow their own EIC here!
