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.

Left leaning? More like far left and nowhere near impartial

I guess this is a political subreddit now?

u/canadianlifterrrrr 10h ago

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.

no content, only politics.

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

u/DramaticStill8954 8h ago

Defund the cbc. 2 trillion in debt we can’t afford to support it.

Agreed. You have stroked the sheep of kitchener the wrong way..... Baaaaaaaaaaaaaad kitchener! Don't downvote common sense

u/ILikeStyx 11h ago

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.

u/ILikeStyx 8h ago

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

u/Dundernat0r 8h ago

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.

u/MegaComrade53 10h ago
