    Often relegated to the background and overshadowed by major parties in the media, the Green Party remains one of the few to propose a truly fair taxation of multinational corporations. In a political landscape where most parties avoid confronting wealth and inequality, this position deserves to be acknowledged — a rare reminder that empathy and fiscal justice can still coexist in politics.

    We also need to name the fact that proposals like Pedneault’s often make people uncomfortable precisely because they challenge a certain class comfort. That comfort — deeply entrenched in many media institutions — inevitably affects how some political ideas are received.

    I’ll add this: true journalistic integrity also means being able to step back from one’s own assumptions — from habits shaped by class, power, and status. Within a public broadcaster, that expectation should be even stronger. In a media institution funded by the public, fairness should be championed.
