Natasha Fatah is out at CBC

An acclaimed journalist has left her job at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

Natasha Fatah, a journalist that is praised on both sides of the political spectrum, is leaving her job at CBC.

Early Monday morning, Fatah announced to her 100,000 plus followers that she would be taking a “leave from work.”

Natasha’s father, Tarek Fatah, is suffering from cancer, and she has left her job to take care of her elderly relative.

Tarek is a columnist with the Toronto Sun and vocal critic of extreme Islam, winning him accolades with Conservatives.

Friends, I’m taking a leave from work to care for my dad who has cancer.

Love my job, and have been working since I was 12, so this isn’t easy.

Thanks to bosses at CBC for being supportive.

Thank YOU for the outpouring of good wishes.

❤️🙏🏽

PS. Call your dad, he misses you. https://t.co/ThV8yiLLKX
