It seems the CBC killed their RSS feeds. There have been no new articles since 25 February 2026
Not possible to subscribe either

Il semblerait que le service anglais de Radio-Canada ont terminé leurs fils RSS. Il n’y a pas eu de nouveaux articles depuis le 25 février 2026
Pas possible non plus de s’abonner
An update on the CBC RSS feed situation. It seems they're blocking specific user-agents, including NetNewsWire.
Their support team responded:
> Unfortunately accessing our content via RSS feed is not popular with many users and so resources are generally being allocated to other areas and fixes for glitches with current RSS feeds are not being prioritized. I'm sorry we don't have better news.
Oh hello, the CBC RSS feed just updated

Oh allô, le fil RSS du service anglais de Radio-Canada vient de se mettre à jour
@auxonic That's their decision.
I have subscribed to another news source when I read their email. It won't have local news though, because only CityNews and CBC give local news in a non-bandwidth killing method.
@EdwinG @auxonic so much citizen-hostile behaviour coming out of the CBC these days. A few weeks ago I had to beg and plead several times to obtain stream URLs for the various Radio-Canada feeds — even though their website clearly states that I am allowed to ask for and receive them — and in the end they wouldn't give me all of them.
Entitled complacent contempt for the public, is the only way I can describe it. A worrying trend I see in other public services too…
@NeueWelle Radio-Canada no longer does podcasts.
They actually filed a legal request to remove their podcasts from podcast apps

@NeueWelle their English and French services don’t communicate with one another.
So you can subscribe to podcast from the CBC but you can’t do RSS. However Radio-Canada‘s RSS feeds work, but they don’t do podcast anymore.
On both services, news and podcasts are on different platforms.
@EdwinG for a while they had very similar apps, almost two different skins of the same thing, but it's all different now. The only thing they seem to have in common is the account system. Both CBC and Radio-Canada serve the login window from the same address and confuse my password manager 🫠
But each manages to find their own way of being uniquely user-hostile 😅
@NeueWelle Good news… only the front page is common.
You can’t login to a CBC account from Radio-Canada and vice versa. It would make too much sense if it would!
Also, their CEO said last year that they are looking at unifying their platforms to reduce costs. So there’s a little bit of hope.
@EdwinG Oh man, I listened to beacoup des balados de radio-canada quand j'étudias pour mes examens français!
At a time when the Official Languages Act is requiring government departments and agencies to take proactive positive measures to support official language minority communities, making French-language programming harder to access is a proactive regressive measure.
@nev Nothing. All of them give the same “Feed not found” error.
I took my example from that page.
@EdwinG weird. I see the XML just fine in Firefox, but the feeds aren't refreshing in my RSS client (Capy Reader)
edit: and unsubscribing and adding the URL again manually just results in "Couldn't find feed"
@tim_lavoie I reached out to their support team.
I thought they blocked all Apple devices, but that wouldn’t break FreshRSS.
@EdwinG Calling the W3C validator (from within FreshRSS, nice!), shows it as valid, but with recommended changes for best compatibility:
@Kgou No, it’s everything - top stories included.
It’s a block put in place by CBC (very technical):

Simply put, they filter on the app one uses.
