This is a shocking story of a routine CBC hit-piece gone HORRIBLY WRONG.

You're going to want to bookmark this one.

🧵 THREAD

Meet Jordan Tucker, a former CBC reporter.

This is her own profile picture – note the pride progress CBC logo. It’s too perfect.

Last Spring, Tucker attempted to do what CBC does everyday: push a woke activist agenda and pretend it’s real journalism

1/

She interviewed Professor Frances Widdowson on April 1, 2024 for a hit piece

But what she didn’t expect is that @FrancesWiddows1 also RECORDED the conversation and posted it on Youtube in July 2025.

Here is a preview of the absolute TRAIN WRECK that unfolded.

What is Grave Error? Some background:

About 18 months ago, I helped publish a book called Grave Error, a collection of essays written by top university professors and journalists setting the historical record straight on Indian Residential Schools (IRS)

3/

The schools had their problems, no doubt. But the hysteria & accusations – that teachers & nuns were murdering children, secretly burying them in mass graves, committing genocide – is completely patently false

It also addresses the deception of the 215 "unmarked graves" 4/

Grave Error was edited by Dr. C.P. Champion & Dr. Tom Flanagan. It quickly became a Canadian best-seller, selling tens of thousands of copies despite being completely ignored by the legacy media.

Libraries across the country had months-long waiting lists to read it. 5/

The TRUTH was finally getting out there. But not everyone was happy about it.

Woke activists labeled the book “hate literature” & “Residential School denialism”

The NDP then introduced a bill to make “denialism” a crime in Canada, specifically using Grave Error as an example 6/

To recap: the media perpetuated at best massive deception and at worst a total hoax about unmarked graves at residential schools.

We now have to repeat the lie that we committed "genocide" and if we refuse, it's a hate crime.

Mao would be jealous of 2025 Canada 🇨🇦

7/

In Maoist fashion, the city council in Quesnel, B.C. denounced Grave Error and censured the mayor – get this – because his wife read the book! The mayor was banned from visiting local Reserves.

This is how the CBC covered it at the time:

8/

Against this backdrop, Grave Error author Frances Widdowson was invited into the hornets nest to speak to Quesnel council.

CBC assigned Jordan Tucker to interview her for a segment.

But as we all know, the CBC doesn’t do journalism. It is an unabashed propaganda machine.

9/

Tucker personifies everything wrong with the woke left and with the modern CBC.

The tape shows a whiney, thin-skinned, lazy and incompetent journalist who cannot hold a conversation, let alone conduct an interview or engage in thoughtful debate.

She is intellectually out-matched and woefully unprepared.

Even after it becomes very evident that Professor Widdowson is calm, collected, rational and right, Jordan Tucker continues to act self-righteous, indignant to any pushback and under the belief she is morally superior.

She obviously didn't think the full interview would ever see the light of day...

10/

So let's go through it, shall we?

First, Jordan Tucker insists that Frances is being paid or somehow profiting off her City Council appearance in Quesnel.

She has zero evidence, so it’s a pure fishing expedition, which Frances easily dismisses.

Next, without a hint of irony, she asks Frances why people would exaggerate claims of abuse at IRS. Money, of course. Kamloops has received at least $7 million since they made these accusations.

Caught flat-footed, Tucker responds defiantly: “There's a lot of other ways to get $7 million.” 🤦‍♀️

11/

In one breath CBC accuses Frances of profiting – what, by making a few bucks per book sold? – and in the next breath, they dismiss the idea that a Band could be financially motivated by $7 MILLION, all while taking $1.6B from 🇨🇦s.

The levels of hypocrisy are truly impressive
12/

Next, Jordan Tucker makes an absurd claim that 6,000 bodies have been found at IRS.

Wait, WUT?

Perhaps that's how many alleged soil disturbances have been found using Ground Penetrating Radar.

But zero, yes ZERO bodies have been found

13/

Here is the JAW-DROPPING exchange.

14/

A journalist should know the difference between an allegation and real a crime.

But they don't. CBC's Rosemary Barton made the EXACT same embarrassing mistake on live television during the Federal Leader's debate, and the state broadcast issued a rare correction.

15/

It's odd that she cited the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report as her source, since that report came out in 2015 – a good SIX YEARS before the 215 unmarked graves story in Kamloops.

The CBC's incompetency knows no bounds.

16/

This is where things get really good.

Frances Widdowson, clearly exacerbated by Jordan Tucker's ignorance and arrogance, tells her the truth.

“You are a seriously incompetent journalist”

💯

17/

That's when Jordan Tucker bursts into tears and ends the interview. You can watch the entire video on Frances Widdowson's Youtube page. It's well worth your time.



18/

And if you're curious, THIS is how the same interview was presented to CBC's listening audience.

Not journalism. Pure deception and hard woke activism.

19/

This is why we MUST REPLACE the CBC.

They are a corrosive institution that peddle harmful lies and are tearing our country apart.

That's why @TheRealKeean and I started Juno News.
