    Thanks for this. I recognize Rachel Gilmore from a post last year, but I had forgotten about it. I think her style is a little to, uh, young(?) for me, but I hope that means she’ll grab the attention of the younger generations.

    Fuck CTV. If you listen to the audio from their call with Rachel to let her know she was cancelled, the producer straight up admits the trolls won. https://rachelgilmore.substack.com/archive?sort=new

    Worse than spineless. This is encouragement for trolls to keep threatening journalists they don’t like with rape and murder.

      Yeah it really is unfortunate they pulled her segment. Rachel is a friend of mine and the level of abuse she receives from the trolls and far right is shocking. They will literally track her down in the street to harass her. I have so much respect for her bravery to continue to push the truth to the surface.

      For what it’s worth, at least the producer owned up to it and didn’t try to pass the buck, even though she probably should have.
