Inaccurate information about residency

An addition to this page stated that Catherine Tait lives in Brooklyn, NYC. I removed this statement because it is inaccurate. I am asking an administrator to review this change and make sure it complies with Wikipedia standards, specifically its editing policy about inaccuracy.

The National Post article used as a source to support the claim that Ms. Tait lives in Brooklyn also provides information that directly contradicts this claim, citing a spokesperson for CBC/Radio-Canada who states that Ms. Tait’s primary home is in Ottawa, Canada. Other independent sources, such as the French-language dailies Le Devoir, Journal de Montréal and La Presse, mention that Catherine Tait resides in Ottawa or has her primary home in that city. CBC/Radio-Canada also issued a statement in response to the National Post article that states that Ms. Tait resides in Ottawa.

Further, article 38(1) of the Broadcasting Act, which governs CBC/Radio-Canada, stipulates that “A person is not eligible to be appointed or to continue as a director if the person is not a Canadian citizen who is ordinarily resident in Canada….”

A single source, wherein information is provided that Ms. Tait does reside in Canada, does not conclusively determine that she resides outside of Canada, particularly given the legislative requirement that someone in her role reside in Canada.

Julien.faille appears to work for CBC in communications and these edits are a conflict of interest. Julien.faille is attempting to discredit a competing accredited news agency which has sourced information on Catherine Tait living in Brooklyn, NYC, not Ottawa, Ontario. I believe this to be very unprofessional behavior by a CBC employee, particularly one working in communications and thus I feel should be barred from making any further edits to anything CBC related, particularly when the CBC CEO is being questioned regarding where they live and why they got executive bonuses when 500+ staff were told they would lose their jobs. 72.38.103.178 (talk) 18:44, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree- I added some of the previous edits in accordance with wikipedia policies and referenced CBC as the main reference. Nocensordivision2 (talk) 16:33, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored discussion of her residence, citing both the National Post article and the CBC statement.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ylee (talk • contribs) 03:16, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it. It is a baseless rumour clearly designed to discredit Tait. The original source is not reliable and National Post did not claim to have verified the information. Traumnovelle (talk) 08:47, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
