You should read independent sources then. The Winnipeg Free Press, the Breach, CanadaLand, etc etc are all good.
Here’s a link to a listing of Canadian independent news sources.
CanadaLand is still on your list? https://www.readthemaple.com/i-went-to-jesse-browns-talk-on-the-slow-pogrom-in-media/
There isn’t one media source in the world that will be 100% perfect.
Read the ones you want to and leave the rest unread.
