Article about the March 30 pro-Palestine protest in Toronto fails to include voices from protesters and organizers

"It is your journalistic obligation to include voices from the protesters and organizers themselves to balance the record. Please include voices from protesters, PYM, and Jews Say No To Genocide and shed light on the issue of Canada’s police brutality."

Police officers didn't just "push" protestors, they were kneeling on their necks

"Though these cases of indiscriminate police brutality are well-documented and widely accessible, CP24 settles for the word “pushing” to describe police actions. This works to conceal and undermine the police brutality protestors have alleged. Please adjust your wording to ensure a precise description of the video evidence."

Overwhelmingly citing Toronto Police doesn't make an article balanced

"Please include voices from protesters and PYM. Otherwise, it makes it seem like the protesters were provoking Toronto Police and that its excessive use of force and arrests were justified. It inserts itself in a media trend seeking to depict the pro-Palestine protests and protesters as violent."

L'article utilise un langage qui minimise la brutalité de la situation à Gaza et la responsabilité d'Israël

"Ce langage nébuleux peut porter à confusion vos lecteurs alors qu’il insinue une symétrie de pouvoir entre le Hamas et Israël et que les victimes sont autant Israéliennes que Palestiniennes ce qui n’est pas le cas."

Title and language throughout article misrepresents McGill Hunger Strike demands

"It implies that Israel’s military and ground assault is only targeting Hamas, though most essential infrastructure has been grazed, and over 32,000 Palestinians have been killed, most of whom are healthcare/aid workers, women, children, and infants."

Merci de donner une voix aux manifestations pro-palestiniennes à Montréal

Je vous remercie aussi d’avoir mentionné la motion votée le lundi 18 mars au parlement et le lien avec les revendications de cette manifestation: le commerce d’armes qui transitent par les États-Unis, les questions d’« occupation », de « colonisation », de génocide et d’auto-détermination du peuple palestinien et les responsabilités et la politique étrangère du Canada.

Toronto Sun publishes offensive article that claims Iran coordinates pro-Palestine protests in the West

It is revolting that Canadian media outlets publish such pieces that don’t provide any evidence to back such outrageous claims under the label of news. We don’t expect Toronto Sun and Warren Kinsella to make any changes to his article, but, at the very least, clearly identify his article as opinion.

Thank you for interviewing a Quebec physician who signed the open letter calling for a ceasefire

I am writing on behalf of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East to thank you for interviewing one of the physicians in Quebec who signed the open letter calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. I appreciated hearing his thoughts on the hypocrisy of doctors in Canada not denouncing the fatal consequences of Israel’s military assault on Gaza.

Article labelled as news, but it is clearly an opinion article

"This is a matter of your obligations as journalists, editors, and members of the National NewsMedia Council. Marking Joe Warmington’s opinion columns appropriately is a basic and non-controversial journalistic responsibility. Nothing exceptional is being asked of you other than doing your job."

Misleading headline that depicts pro-Palestine protests and protesters falsely, unfairly, and negatively

"Readers might think that the two people who got arrested are linked to the Pro-Palestine protest, but it is not entirely the case. As reported in a CP24/CTV News article, 'Twenty-five year-old Jack Antonio Di Tomasso of Toronto has been arrested and charged with mischief, and 61-year-old David Menzies of Richmond Hill has been arrested and charged with obstruct to a peace officer and breach of peace bond'."
