Before joining Sun News, Krista spent over 11 years with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), earning a reputation for her strong presentation skills and journalistic insight.</p>

<h2>Career at CBC and Investigative Journalism</h2>
<p>Erickson began her journalism career in 1999 in her hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Initially working with CBC as a radio broadcaster, she later expanded into television, contributing to Canada's national public broadcaster in various capacities. Her passion for investigative journalism led her to the CBC Manitoba division, where she focused on uncovering impactful stories and producing in-depth reports.</p>

<p>Her contributions included investigative segments for network programs such as <em>CBC News</em> and <em>It’s a Living</em>. In 2003, she temporarily filled in as anchor for <em>CBC News</em> during Jennifer Rattray’s maternity leave and helped drive up the program’s ratings.

<p>That same year, Erickson was nominated for a Gemini Award by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television for co-producing and anchoring the <em>Marketplace</em> documentary “Love and Little White Lies,” which showcased her practical knowledge in consumer-affairs programming.</p>

<h2>Parliamentary Bureau and Controversy</h2>
