Time to shut down the CBC

[punked]

then let "the majority" pay for the CBC

Yah you would not be happy if this is how a democracy actually worked.

Even Kevin O'Leary has been ripping on Sun News for being a utter failure as a business. Granted he works for CBC, but he's hardly a liberal shill.

I believe that would be called "fighting fire with fire"

1 billion dollars to sway opinion the the left. Is it any wonder that Canadians trust the media less than Steve Harper! The CBC should be shut down..

Your right Fletch 27

you missed my point. If there are so many that think the CBC has good programming, then it should be able to survive without $1b in government subsidies funded by taxpayers much like PBC does.

[westguy]

oops that should be d"onations like PBS".

I'm glad the PM essentially said "Tough Luck Buttercup" to the CBC and it's whining that it's losing out over Hockey revenue due to the lockout.

Gee there's something you don't see every day, Stephan Harper telling a corporation to go stuff itself. You know, as opposed to usually helping them get stuffed.

without government subsidies eh? At least know what you are talking about... do a little tiny bit of research and learn about your subject, like where PBS gets its funding. Your viewpoint is really easy to ignore, and even ridicule, when your statements don't jive with reality.

For 2015, Congress has budgeted $445 million for CPB.
