Video duration – 12:33 A CBC News investigation discovered that there were nearly 1,800 hate crimes reported to Canadian police last year. But that number likely doesn’t tell the whole story. Inaccurate reporting and different classifications make a true calculation nearly impossible. Nonetheless, hate seems to be growing across this country. But no place more so than Hamilton, Ontario, which has the infamous title of being the hate crime capital of Canada. Has that city become a cautionary tale for the rest of Canada? And then there’s the internet. How is hate speech being fought online?

  • Testimony of Lucy Medeiros
    TESTIMONY OF ALISON SMITH (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) Introduction My name is Alison Smith. I am currently a Washington Television News Correspondent for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. I have worked for CBC News for more than 30 years in a variety of positions, but primarily as a news anchor and reporter. I am now based in Washington DC covering US news of interest to Canadians. That includes US politics, foreign affairs, the economy and news features that reflect American life. The CBC The CBC’s mandate is to provide programming that is predominantly and distinctively Canadian and to actively contribute to the flow and exchange of cultural expression. CBC News The CBC News Service was established almost 70 years ago in 1941. As an important component of CBC, the mandate for CBC News mirrors that of the corporation. With its team of experienced and highly professional journalists it is seen as one of the greatest strengths of the CBC. It is Canada’s largest news service with more than 800 journalists employed at home and around the world. It currently has more bureaus across Canada than any other network and 14 outside of the country. There are three bureaus in the US – Washington, New York and Los Angeles. Other locations include London, Paris, Jerusalem, Mexico City, Moscow, Beijing, Shanghai, Nairobi, Bangkok and Kandahar. From the inception of the news service, CBC news and current affairs journalists have won international recognition for their work. A list of international awards covering the time period at issue here is attached to this testimony (Exhibit CDN-2-A).
