Episode: “The Convenient ‘Pretendian'” (February 14)

Clarification: “In an earlier version of this episode, Jesse said, ‘The CBC dug in to census records that say Latimer’s grandfather was not Indigenous or Métis, as [Latimer] had claimed, but French-Canadian,’ a formulation that erroneously and unintentionally implied that the Métis are not Indigenous. We have amended the episode to remove this implication.” (February 16)
Episode: “What Is Black Press, And Did Victoria Police Re-Write Its News Story?” (July 5)
Correction: “In this episode, Alex de Boer states that ‘Kitimat is where bitumen and natural gas from Alberta old sands arrives before being shipped to overseas markets.’ In fact, the refinery referenced is a proposed endeavour from publisher David Black, not an active one.” (July 12)

Clarification: “This episode says the people living at the Trinity Bellwoods Park encampment were moved to temporary housing.

Article: “WE CFO Risks Contempt With Unanswered Questions” (March 22)
Correction: “An earlier version of this story reported that Victor Li was summoned to appear before the Ethics Committee after he refused to testify.
