⚖️Another lawsuit against the #CBC. 💰
— Canadian Advocacy Centre 4 Health Safety & Justice (@CdnAdvocacy) June 28, 2023
"WE Charity alleges the CBC's hour-long investigative story about it advanced false claims about its finances and projects that were contradicted by the network’s own reporting and information #WECharity provided."https://t.co/Ecqc9ZqWsX
I actually highly recommend reading “What We Lost” by @RangwalaTawfiq, and thank you to @opibooks for giving me a copy. Incredible insights into this story. My take is that the Liberal Party threw the charity under the bus to dodge the scandal (which was their fault), destroying…

Ya. We’re seeing more and more lawsuits against the media. But we need to see more. The Conservatives media bullshit is out of control. Good on WE Charity. This is why they all suddenly shut the hell up about it. If you can’t beat them, sue them and shut them up. https://t.co/sSObyjdVfA

Going after the US donors was a bad idea. I wonder what other media will be slapped with similar lawsuits who haven't been already. We know it wasn't just CBC doing reporting on what amounted to nothing but lies by Jesse Brown and others. #wecharityhttps://t.co/tTxWT8YsFg

A group called Friends of WE has posted a devastating take-down of The Fifth Estate's claim that WE Charity counted latrines (washrooms) as school rooms in Kenya. It shows how footage was edited and documentary evidence was ignored. https://t.co/V9ZID01uVM
— Mark Bourrie (@MarkBourrie) June 29, 2023
Elements of the CBC are now as corrupt as Postmedia. Never believe anything from a news source in North America at first glance. If a story is important to you it is imperative that you do what journalists used to do, verify the facts then form your own conclusion.

As I love CBC this is hard to watch. I am outraged for WE and the children harmed. This sheds light on today’s pack mentality in CDN political MSM. They decide what they want the story to be, turn off all judgement. Facts that undermine their narrative are discarded.

The disastrous hysteria among 🇨🇦media/politicians regarding WE Charity is starting to make it’s way thru courts as Canadaland & CBC face lawsuits over their reporting.

Many reports relied on the opinion of Kate Bahen
Charity Intelligence and the Tories https://t.co/LqQfDSwEeJ
Like many of you, I heard the CBC The Fifth Estate reporting on the WE Charity being fraudulent and took it at face value. It’s appearing this was false. It’s playing out in US courts but if CBC deliberately destroyed WE, they deserve consequences. https://t.co/7RCC5B5aCs

I had some contact with WE as a teacher. Very effective in energizing young people.

The opposition set out to destroy WE to “get Trudeau”. Now, Kate Bahen’s role is exposed. The media also failed the Canadian public. Parallels to the foreign interference file are noticeable.
Charity Intelligence is... Galen's cousin's husband. 😘😆

And since his wife, Claudia, is a director of the Weston Foundation, Charity Intelligence doesn't look into that one. 😄

This is damning. It’s scary how so many in the country turned into a rabid pack to attack a charity and to have CBC fuel that with false information is infuriating.

I would never vote for the NDP, mainly because of Niki Ashton’s low blows and Charlie Angus contribution to taking down the WE charity. He was particularly nasty, going after the PM’s mother who has advocated tirelessly for mental health. Bad guy. https://t.co/4GLIq7isQY

No, it would not. His misinformation on WE charity contributed to its downfall. He played a huge role. He also bullied &tried to shame one of Canada’s most prominent mental health advocates. Charlie looks after Charlie. #BlockedByCharlieAngus He does not take any criticism well. https://t.co/gfk65KPX4X

Months ago, Canadaland strongly implied WE Charity was going to be thrown out of Kenya. Never happened. What did happen was WE Charity was destroyed in Canada by shitty reporting and the most unscrupulous politicians in Canada.

Time has shown, and lawsuits continue to show that "Brown, Jaren Kerr, and the journalists who jumped on WE Charity and decided to destroy it, were flat-out wrong.

Charlie does little for those he represents because he only concerns himself with those that have the same ideology.
