I wonder what their new strategy is. Looking at the linked articles, at least two or three are hit pieces, swipes intended to sway opinion. For example "The hidden costs of EV batteries" article linked is a hit piece on the EV market, a common target and thus likely to generate clicks. There's a political hit piece in there was well.
Contrary to conservative talking points that the CBC is some sort of pro-liberal propaganda machine, the CBC just runs the same news, with roughly the same slants, as the rest of the media here. The anti-EV hit pieces get clicks. Clicks bring money. Money keeps CBC afloat. Those kind of articles frankly everywhere right now, likely because someone is paying to propagate them, and the outrage they generate ("guvnment forcing EVs on us") sells.
