I agree with you only in the sense that the left wing agenda of the CBC has been hijacked away from traditional socialist causes such as expanding the welfare state and protecting medicare, and instead has been supplanted by victimology and identity politics. This sort of shift in coverage is really divisive and pits people against people. The CBC should return more to the more inclusive aspects of traditional socialism (such as maintaining the social welfare system), which, in it's own way is just as much a form of nation building as is building highways or pipelines.
Identity politics is just purely toxic in any form..........
