Coalition of civil society groups boycotts Ben Mulroney programs over journalistic ethics

Montreal, February 13, 2026 — Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) and a coalition of Muslim, Palestinian, and Jewish organizations are announcing a collective boycott of all programming featuring Ben Mulroney, until he is removed from hosting The West Block, a flagship political affairs program on Global News. The boycott follows a pattern of Mulroney's genocide denial, promotion of Islamophobic conspiracy theories, and conflicts of interest, both on the The West Block and The Ben Mulroney Show, that compromise the integrity of public discourse in Canada. CJPME has demanded accountability from Global News for months over these violations of journalistic ethics, to no avail.
