Canadian minister warns Musk's influence and CBC defunding threaten Canada's news reliability.

Canadian Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge has raised concerns over Elon Musk's growing political influence and Meta's decision to eliminate fact-checking. She warns that these changes, combined with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's pledge to defund the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), could harm Canada's independent news ecosystem and the reliability of information. St-Onge argues that defunding the CBC would weaken a vital source of journalism and democracy.
