Former CBC News host Travis Dhanraj says he was “forced to resign” under “impossible conditions” at the network and for questioning its editorial direction. His legal team is planning to take legal action against the CBC.

In a July 7 email to employees at the public broadcaster, Dhanraj announced his resignation, saying it was “not a voluntary decision” and came after “trying to navigate a workplace culture defined by retaliation, exclusion, and psychological harm.”
