The Conservatives say the taxpayer-funded CBC shouldn’t be backing a prank program that attempted to target a Tory MP and individual citizens in disguise as part of a show featuring hoax interviews on controversial topics.

Among the figures targeted by the program are Conservative MP Aaron Gunn, author Lindsay Shepherd, and academic Frances Widdowson.
