    Journalism is all about informing the public with stuff they need to know, not necessarily what they want to hear.

    CTV failed the Canadians on that one.

    Yep, I’m livid. I emailed ombudsman@bell.ca and subscribed to her Patreon. She also has a Substack.

    I also joined Steve Boots’ Patreon as well. I was already a member of his YouTube channel. He introduced me to her.

    Supporting journalism like this is vital.
