CTV Apologizes for Editing Poilievre Clip

News summary

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre has sharply criticized CTV News and its parent company Bell Media after the network aired a manipulated clip that misrepresented his stance on a non-confidence motion and the Liberal government’s dental care program. CTV edited Poilievre's statement to suggest he was targeting the dental plan, when he was actually discussing a carbon tax. Following backlash, CTV conducted an investigation, found two employees responsible for the alteration, and removed them from their positions. Despite issuing an apology, the Conservative Party has refused further engagement with CTV and Bell Media until they fully acknowledge the malicious intent behind the edit. This incident has sparked a broader debate on media integrity and political bias in Canadian news reporting.
