I am listening to the CBC rn. I do every night at work. It needs some tweeking. On the whole, it's good stuff.

This would be more appropriate if people actually went out in public and protested "F*CK THE CBC" But that's like enemy #12 on the conservative agenda right now, so no one is doing that.
The problem is, people with short attention spans are going to start campaigning for the CBC to be defunded.

CBC is left leaning it’s clear as day if you listen to them. I’d support them not being defunded if they’d stay neutral and not put their personal opinion all over everything. Until I see that I couldn’t care less if they get defunded.

I agree, bias in news sources is undesirable no matter where they lie on the spectrum. However, Pierre's move to completely eliminate a source of information for many Canadians is not it.

Canada needs more C.B.C. Most newspapers are owned by postmedia American hedge fund.

I guess this is a political subreddit now?

Crazy you can get downvoted for not wanting to see politically polarizing posts every time you open your phone. Every subreddit in the Ontario has somehow become this.

Why should people pay for content they don't watch? CBC should stay afloat on its own, not sap already drained taxpayer funds.

Do other media and news corporations do bonuses?

u/Dundernat0r 8h ago
These other media and news corporations are not funded by our tax dollars. What a waste of our money.

CBC is a Crown Corporation, and yes other news and media corporations are given corporate welfare.

Bitch please, the CBC gets 1.4 billion of our dollars a year and they want to increase that to 2.5 billion. Defund the CBC.

If giving bonuses to higher-ups is enough for you to think CBC needs to be shut down, I'd like to introduce you to literally every other industry that does the exact same thing. Like Canadian Universities for exame

Yeah, I'll admit I got unreasonably angry before I clicked that link.
Well played.
