In January 2015, Canadaland ran stories noting that Lang participated in the coverage of the Royal Bank of Canada during its temporary foreign worker program scandal, including interviewing the then-CEO of the bank Gord Nixon, while having done speaking engagements at RBC sponsored events, promoting her own book which featured a back cover endorsement from Nixon, and without disclosing she was in a relationship with a board member of the bank.
In the wake of the RBC stories, George Monbiot, a columnist for The Guardian, wrote on 20 January 2015, “It amazes me that [Lang] remains employed by CBC.” John Doyle, a columnist for the Toronto The Globe and Mail, wrote on 23 January “It’s time for Lang to get down off her high horse and go away.
