NEW: CTV has cancelled an election fact-checking segment on their morning show in response to political pressure from the Conservative Party.
Sebastian Skamski, a senior campaign official for Mr #Poilievre denounced CTV News, saying their guest was lying directly to viewers & suggested that CTV News is working to help elect Liberals.
Despite Mr Skamski offering no evidence to support his claims, the network folded & cancelled the segment.
