The CBC wants an extra $400 million so they can go Ad Free

you do realize that for the CBC to go ad free it would be a good thing for their competitors who would take the entire ad market? 

That's like saying that if the government subsidized DirectProprio or UberX, it would open the market to ReMax.

As someone once famously said, "It's 2015."

In 2016, the Canadian "Broadcasting" "Corporation" makes no sense. Anyone in Canada with access to the Internet can read the Wall Street Journal; or read Le Monde.

By the logic of our current PM, Canadian society is beyond the need of Radio-Canada/CBC. According to Trudeau Jnr, Canada is in a post-national information society.

So, let's give our $1.2 billion to a joint BBC, Radio-France, NPR society and create a "Western Broadcasting System".

msj, there is a phenomenal ignorance in your post.

Is it any wonder that Trump got more electoral votes; and Clinton won a majority because of the west coast.

This week the national has buried every recent negative story about the liberals, or simply hasn't reported them at all, meanwhile the pipeline story, the one about those things that may never get built, that was first in line with 10 minutes of coverage.  The night following Maryam Monsefs first ridiculous outburst over elxn reform, something that was trending all day, something that every major media outlet was talking about the National buried the story, now, only 3 deep i admit, but it put another pipeline story, and a story about airmiles points ahead of it, airmiles.  The next day it was still a big story, the national didnt mention it at all.  What should our national broadcaster think is more important, airmiles, or changing the way we choose our leaders?

Yesterday again, this #mydemocracy was trending, the new and utterly stupid/misleading survey that the liberals have put online about elexn reform, again it was all over the news, it was trending all day, where did they mention it on the National?  They didn't, not a single word about yet another embarrassment to this government, the 3rd or 4th in two weeks, none of them have been the lead on the public broadcasters biggest news program, some of them have been completely ignored.  They are utter garbage and only the most partisan liberal wouldn't see it, of course if you're a minor candidate for the cpc leadership and you chant something stupid at a rally, that's worthy of top billing, the things you lie about to win elections and the utterly stupid things you do as a liberal in power, those impacts need to be mitigated, by the CBC.

So for sure, lets give those poor unbiased and selfless creatures more money.

From my news feed this was a negative story of the Liberals.  What are some example of negative stories that you didn't think got covered ?  I think JT has had a bad month, and big news stories such as the PR fiasco were covered as far as I can see.  Here is another one:
