GUEST: Peter Graefe, Professor of Political Science with McMaster University - Regardless of where the dust settles on Canada’s tumultuous battle with Big Tech, the nation’s news industry won’t find stability until its playing field is levelled. That means ending the CBC’s ability to sell advertising in all of its forms and turning it into a pure play public broadcaster and online news organization. GUEST: Peter Menzies is a National Newspaper Award-winning journalist, Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, past editor-in-chief of the Calgary Herald and former vice-chair of the CRTC - Twitter has officially rebranded to "X" after owner Elon Musk changed its iconic bird logo Monday, marking the latest major shift since his takeover of the social media platform.
