Travis Dhanraj alleges CBC fostered a toxic culture marked by retaliation, exclusion, and partisan bias while silencing dissent, with management ignoring these claims, he told a House committee.

- Last week, Dhanraj posted a video on his 'Can't Be Censored' podcast YouTube page saying he would 'name names, describe decisions and paint a better picture about what happened inside the CBC' for the committee.
