Despite the serious ethical violations of journalistic standards outlined below, Hudson’s Bay continues to support National Post through its advertising dollars. This directly contradicts the company’s corporate commitments to integrity, diversity, and ethical business practices, as manifest in its "Charter for Change" mandate. CJPME’s media team has repeatedly urged Hudson’s Bay to review its advertising partnership with Postmedia and National Post, yet the company has failed to take any meaningful action.

"I ask once again that if the National Post is an openly Zionist newspaper, then it should clearly disclose this to readers instead of misleading them into believing they are getting balanced journalism.
