In \u003ci\u003eLosing Our Voice\u003c\/i\u003e Alain Saulnier, long-time head of news and public affairs at Radio-Canada, documents the decades of political interference that have jeopardized the very existence of one of Canada’s most important cultural institutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For French-speaking Canadians, with limited options in their own language, the national broadcaster is all the more important. But tensions surrounding national unity and identity have exacerbated the tendency of federal politicians to meddle in CBC\/Radio-Canada’s content and management.
