Time to defund the CBC

What do you think the funding of the CBC should be? Should it be privatized?

I think the leftward bias of the CBC has become and continues to become more pronounced. If people want to pay for that let them do so on their own. I'm for defunding it entirely and selling it to whomever wants it. Assuming anyone does.

For this, I will never forgive Harper.   As with most Conservatives (and few conservatives) he was gutless and mindless in not resolving the problem of state funded propaganda.  Canada has no business funding the "free press".   From there, consider that the Libs paid out something like $2.2 Bn of taxpayers' dollars to sell the publik on political correctness, LPC style.

Sadly, if Dimples Milquetoast had been elected, CBC would stay right where it is.  Best hope for Canada is for the Turdeau situation to end in early election and for the CPC to finally grow a pair and put a real leader in place.

They funded $600M to companies like the Globe and Mail - who rewarded them by breaking the SNC Lavalin scandal.

If you want to have a country, you need a national culture or you will be subsumed by others.  We now have actual foreign agents trying to convince people to pull out of NATO, the UN ... whipping up separatist sentiment... in other words trying to divide & conquer.  Most countries have a national media presence, and lately it's easy to see why.
