The #CRTC has awarded one-year extensions (to June 14, 2021) for the launch of Indigenous radio stations in Edmonton and Vancouver, both because of COVID-19-related issues. The licences were awarded in 2017 to replace the defunct Aboriginal Voices Radio.
Aboriginal Multi-Media Society of Alberta (CFWE), which has the Edmonton licence, says COVID-19 has prevented construction work on its new studio, and just needs a few extra months to launch.
For Northern Native Broadcasting (CFNR), which has the Vancouver licence, the problem is financial. Sales cut in half, $196,000 accumulated loss.

“Our focus for the balance of 2020-21 fiscal year and possibly beyond will be on survival mode,” CEO Greg Smith tells the #CRTC

Je vois plein de discussion de ce reportage. Certains voient une attaque contre Le Devoir. Ou une trahison contre le mouvement « Moi aussi ». Ou une preuve que ce mouvement va trop loin contre les hommes. Ou une preuve du "cancel culture." Permettez-moi quelques nuances...
Parce que c'est ça, la nuance. C'est inconvénient. Ce n'est pas bonne comme arme rhétorique, la nuance. Pas une preuve ni une contre-preuve. Ça déradicalise les propos.
Isabelle Hachey est très claire: Elle ne veut « pas d’absoudre Julien Lacroix, ni de se demander s’il serait temps pour lui de remonter sur les planches ». Elle ne veut non plus « remettre en cause la démarche journalistique adoptée par les médias, dont Le Devoir »

Today’s update. An even 600 new cases. Hospitalizations have now more than tripled in the past month and are up 30% in the past week.
The statistical risk difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated people keeps increasing. Now if you’re unvaccinated, you’re 33 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 than someone your age who’s vaccinated.
Quebec has been registering out-of-province vaccinations since May, but with vaccine passports becoming a thing, the number of doses registered has almost doubled in the past two weeks. It’s now 125,891 (1st+2nd doses).
