    In my opinion, what may have happened:

    Trump lackey found out at the last minute about the segment and ordered it pulled. But said order did not get to Global either due to lack of communication channel, incompetence or malicious compliance(oops we/I forgot to tell them).


    It ran on Global. Canada’s answer to Fox News and based out of Alberta. They are extremely pro-US and if any mainstream Canadian TV network was going to force pro-Trump content, they are at the top of that list.

      Global isn’t Canada’s answer to Fox News. Canada doesn’t have a Fox News.

      Also, did it actually air on Global? From what I heard it was available on their app. That’s more plausible because it’s a different pathway. Instead of just simultaneously airing what’s being aired in the US, they have to break it up into different segments which they load up on some CDN.

      Global is owned by Corus, which was spun off from Shaw in ‘99. Corus is headquartered in Toronto. Where did you get your information from?
