One of True North’s own authors, Lindsay Shepherd, wrote a wholesome children’s book called A Day with Sir John A. It is a simple, positive story that introduces young Canadians to our first Prime Minister and the country he helped build. Nothing radical. Nothing hateful. Just honest Canadian history presented to kids without the shame and self-loathing that now passes for education in too many classrooms.
The CBC’s response? A bizarre, deceptive sting operation straight out of a bad spy novel.
Using fake production companies with fake names and fake identities, a CBC-linked crew pretended to be fellow defenders of Sir John A. Macdonald. They contacted Lindsay and other critics of the dominant residential school narrative under false pretenses, luring them into what they thought were friendly interviews for a supposed new series. The real goal was to trap them, twist their words, and produce content that would smear anyone who dares push back against the relentless Canada-bashing that has become official policy in parts of our media.
This was not journalism. This was not even honest debate. This was a taxpayer-funded ambush designed to intimidate and silence voices that refuse to treat Canada’s founding as an original sin.
Let that sink in. The CBC is busy spending public money on elaborate schemes to attack a children’s book author. Hard-earned tax dollars, including grants from Canadian Heritage, went into this ridiculous project. That is the kind of wasteful biased nonsense that True North fights against.
The CBC has turned itself into a state-backed propaganda outfit that views patriotism, historical balance, and free speech as threats. It does not want Canadian kids growing up proud of their country. It wants them ashamed. And it is willing to use dirty tricks and public money to punish anyone who offers a different message.
True North rejects this entirely. We stand with Lindsay Shepherd and every Canadian who believes our history deserves to be taught with truth and pride, not weaponized for political gain. We will keep exposing these abuses because real national strength cannot survive in a culture that teaches its own children to hate their own story.
Canadians have had enough of subsidizing this kind of insanity. It is time to defund the CBC.
