Agree: often the most timid and least informative news story will be the version produced by the main Canadian news sources. Some shocking recent examples include the Quebec mosque shooting (ignored by the CBC entirely for its first couple hours), the housing bubble and crisis, funny money from China, the conditions of our first nations peoples, the shocking rate of deaths from opioids, involvement of Canadian Muslims in global terrorism (twice the proportional rate for the same in the US), etc. 

Since the mid-1990s, there has been a deliberate attempt to turn mainstream Canadian news into pablum, mostly to make life easier for politicians and property developers. We have seen the unbelievable display of the CBC handing over great swathes of news time to hockey and other sport coverage. While some wish to believe Canada is just a bigger version of cottage country, Canada is in fact a nation with an economy and deserving news coverage that takes the place seriously.
