Why do some cbc videos not have CC?
For instance this video https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/1.7170227
Has closed captions I can put on but this video doesn’t

How does that work with accessibility laws? I wish there was just a scribed button I could press to read the whole video instead of having to pause constantly
The accessibility laws are actually quite new and not fully in effect.
These would be different than broadcast-specific laws or regulations. That being said, I'm a bit surprised that the CBC would be missing CC.
My guess would be that they prioritize CC for news
I don't recall watching news clips without CC; though I usually watch them via YouTube (well, Piped/Yattee but same same)
