The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation instructed its staff not to refer to the killings on 9/11 as “terrorist attacks” ahead of its coverage of the 25th anniversary. This is according to an internal memo from Basem Boshra
“Do not refer to the Sept. 11 attacks as terrorist attacks,” the memo read. “The hijackings led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, and Manhattan. The World Trade Center (WTC in second reference) was destroyed.”
They plan to refer to 9/11 as just “hijackings” that caused “jet crashes in Washington.
The CBC wouldn’t want to upset the radical Islamists they allowed to pour into their country.
Any agency in Canada that doesn’t publicly reject this bastardization of history, and an insult to the souls lost during our largest terrorist attack in US history will no longer have friend in this FBI… Not to mention our heroes that responded in the aftermath 🇺🇸
WE WILL NEVER…

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation excused its deception to Fox News Digital. They said it has long held that it’s best to treat the term terrorist as politically and emotionally charged.
“It is the practice of the CBC to exercise extreme caution before using the words ‘terrorist’ and ‘terrorism,'” CBC Public Affairs Director Kerry Kelly said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “The memo was a reminder of the longstanding practice that favors the use of these terms with attribution in our reporting.”
How bad does it have to be to use the term terror? They have used it on far lesser attacks in Canada.
In other words, they don’t stand for truth. They stand for something else, but not truth.
The memo was written by Egyptian Islamist Basem Boshra. Read the internal memo by Basem Boshra on the X post:
“Do Not Refer to the Sept. 11 Attacks As Terrorist Attacks”: Memo from top official at Canada’s state-funded CBC broadcast news agency. Instead, Basem Boshra informs reporters and editors, “The hijackings led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, Pennsylvania and Manhattan…” https://t.co/kgwnjVoVLe pic.twitter.com/Qc1nq4gdKQ
