Poilievre Slams BCE Over CTV’s Airing of Edited Clip

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has launched a scathing attack on BCE Inc. (TSE: BCE), the parent company of CTV News, following a controversial news segment that aired on Sunday. The incident has sparked a heated debate about media integrity and political influence in Canada.

During a House of Commons session, Poilievre accused CTV News of running an “extremely dishonest” and “fraudulent” item that misrepresented his words through selective editing. The news clip in question gave the impression that Poilievre was introducing a non-confidence motion to challenge the Liberal government’s dental care program, when in fact, he had been discussing a “carbon tax election.”

Poilievre’s criticism extended beyond the news outlet to BCE Inc. itself. He targeted CEO Mirko Bibic, accusing him of being overpaid and mismanaging company finances. The Conservative leader also highlighted BCE’s recent credit rating downgrade to near-junk status by Moody’s, a top ratings agency.

In response to the incident, CTV News issued a statement acknowledging that Poilievre’s comment was taken out of context due to a misunderstanding during the editing process. They offered an unreserved apology to Poilievre and the Conservative Party of Canada.

However, the Conservative Party has dismissed the apology as insufficient. Sebastian Skamski, a spokesperson for Poilievre, announced that Conservative MPs would refrain from engaging with CTV News and its reporters until they explicitly acknowledge what he called “malicious editing.”

  1. IN fact, when I saw that clip it looked like one of the conservative MPs was dissing Dental Care. Because there was the overlay of the ticker of other news (always annoying), you couldn’t tell it was a Liberal MP, further into the debate period….slamming the Cons for other items they probably brought up. Bad editing all around, but not enough to warrant a personal apology to PP. Please, his use of memes, and youtube and social media with completely false stock and narration and selective editing. I say Karma and he can just see how now how bitter his medicine tastes. And why are we putting up with his vitriol and name calling? Slander is slander. DO NOT ACCEPT THIS BEHAVIOUR.
