Travis Dhanraj, a former prominent host of CBC's Canada Tonight, announced his resignation from the Canadian public broadcaster in early July 2025, citing an inability to continue working there "with integrity." In a detailed resignation letter and an all-staff email, Dhanraj accused CBC of fostering a workplace culture characterized by retaliation, exclusion, psychological harm, and a lack of true diversity of opinion. He criticized the broadcaster for what he described as performative diversity and tokenism, and alleged editorial bias, particularly a reluctance to feature conservative voices on his show. Dhanraj's lawyer, Kathryn Marshall, stated that CBC refused to accept his resignation and was unwilling to allow him to book conservative guests, which contributed to his departure. The broadcaster, however, maintained that Dhanraj was still an employee, though currently on leave. His resignation has sparked calls from conservative politicians and commentators for investigations and reforms of CBC, accusing it of left-leaning bias and suppressing political balance. The controversy has intensified discussions about journalistic integrity and political bias within the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, with some viewing Dhanraj's departure as emblematic of a broader crisis of trust in Canadian media institutions.
