CBC's Prank Show Sparks Controversy

CBC's Prank Show Sparks Controversy

Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description

CBCs new comedy series, Northland Tales, is under fire for pranking two women who questioned the narrative around unmarked graves at the old Kamloops residential school. The series, funded partly by public money, lured the women into fake interviews, leading to public backlash. The show, which follows an Indigenous activist group pulling Borat-style stunts, has been criticized as a sabotage targeting dissidents and a waste of public funds. The incident highlights the raw tensions over how we discuss Canadas residential school history.
