CBC sorry that Story of Us offended

The CBC apologized Tuesday in the wake of accusations of inaccuracies in Canada: The Story of Us.

Politicians in Quebec and Nova Scotia are among those who have complained about the facts in the 10-hour series, which premiered on March 26.

“Whenever you recount a country’s history, there will inevitably be citizens, historians and politicians who will have different points of view, and that’s certainly been the case with Canada: The Story of Us,” CBC spokesperson Chuck Thompson said. “Our intention was never to offend anyone or any group, nor diminish the importance of any of the stories that were not included.”

Thompson said the CBC is listening to feedback on the series and plans to host live digital conversations about it. The first will take place on the show’s website after the next episode airs on April 18.
