Travis Dhanraj, a former prominent host of CBC's Canada Tonight, publicly announced his resignation from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, alleging he was "forced to resign" due to the broadcaster's editorial bias, tokenism, and a workplace culture marked by retaliation, exclusion, and psychological harm. In his resignation letter and an all-staff email, Dhanraj criticized CBC for promoting performative diversity while suppressing diversity of opinion, particularly conservative voices, which he said he was discouraged from booking on his show. His lawyer, Kathryn Marshall, confirmed that CBC did not want Dhanraj to include Conservative perspectives and that the broadcaster has refused to accept his resignation, with CBC stating he remains an employee currently on leave. Dhanraj accused a "small group of insiders" at CBC of fostering dysfunction and bias, and said he could no longer work at the public broadcaster "with integrity." His departure has sparked calls from Conservative politicians and commentators for investigations into CBC's alleged biased practices and workplace culture. The case has drawn attention to ongoing concerns about journalistic integrity and political balance at Canada's public broadcaster.

Earl Bousquet says Rickey Singh convinced him 49 years ago to go into #journalism. He says it’s not by accident but by faith Rickey’s last full day on earth was @Caricom day, July 4. Leaders paid homage to him in #Jamaica & in their communique.
