The report also alleges that the tenor of the narratives was often heated with commentators employed by Modi-aligned outlets posting that PM Trudeau and Canadian institutions were enablers of terrorism falling into the laps of Khalistani extremists.Interestingly, the report suggested that the narratives were isolated and not repetitive.“Some Modi-aligned outlets have fourteen times the following of Canadian outlets like CBC and CTV News – both Canadian and global audiences were likely exposed to Modi-aligned narratives, themes, and stories on social media platforms,” the report said.“These Modi-aligned outlets are very popular with domestic Indian audiences, and diaspora communities some outlets have more than 10 million YouTube subscribers. In comparison, Canada’s media outlets have a relatively small presence, with few media entities breaking even a million subscribers,” alleges the report thereby suggesting that the reach of media outlets in India is large.It also alleged that China lifted the stories of the Indian media replicating the narrative that showed Canada in a negative light – in isolation from its partners in the G7.In contrast the report suggests that all RRM Canada reporting is based on publicly available date and was subject to an ethical and methodological framework.
