CBC executives, managers were paid almost $15M in bonuses: Report | Toronto Sun

Federal documents show that CBC executives and managers in the 2023-24 fiscal year ending March 31 gave themselves $14.9 million in bonuses, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

Those records seem to contradict testimony by CBC president and CEO Catherine Tait to the heritage committee on May 7, when she repeatedly claimed that she had no idea whether or not bonuses were paid.

 

Oh look, the CBC lied. And then reported on it after another news agency caught them at it and exposed them.

These guys can't be defunded fast enough.

Their propaganda division did manage to mislead a lot of Canadians though. From Trudeau's POV they all deserved bonuses.

I mean, you're not wrong  

At the end of the day it's just more proof that the CBC has to go. Imagine being a public broadcaster that stands in front of the public and the government and lies about their pay.

It is sad that we will never be able to get back the money that these people have dishonestly leached from the Canadian public. So many people will have to go without services or pay more money that they can't afford because we were feeding these propaganda trolls and providing them with lifetime pensions that exceed what most people earn in a year working.

There is just no consequence in this day and age for ripping off the public. Even if we get rid of Trudeau he will have a gold-plated pension for life. Even if we get rid of the CBC these execs will have massive pensions and we'll have enjoyed perks and benefits for years that they simply didn't deserve.

Catherine Tait rakes in $497,000 per year in regular pay and an additional $100,000 in bonus every year.

That's more than the PM makes.

It's obscene.

De-fund the CBC . . . ?

No more fascinating programs like 'Writers & Company'  with Eleanor Wachtel . . . . etc., etc., etc.

De-funding can't happen quick enough !

When Steven Harper was the PM of Canada, a so-called conservative, he could have abolished the CBC(communist broadcasting corporation)altogether but he did not. That is why he was given the job as PM to get rid of as much government as he could, especially the CBC. I guess that Harper was taking his orders from higher up as all politicians seem to be doing. None of these politicians really do work for we the people. They lie. They appear to want to always phk we the people. Sadly, the people allow themselves to get constantly phkd by these liars. 

I am afraid that Canada will never see the day when we finally can get a real and true conservative become the PM of Canada and finally get government off we the people's backs. Communism is not working all that great for Canada or Canadians these days. Aw well, the struggle continues to try and survive here in Canada. ☹️

The vast majority of his time in office was spent with a minority government. The simple fact of the matter is he couldn't have done it. The liberals and the NDP would never have voted yes.

That is a silly thing to think. Harper actually did talk a fair bit about cutting funding to the CBC I had begun to set a schedule for doing that. That was only in his last years when he had a majority and they're simply wasn't enough time to do that along with his other priorities like getting rid of the gun registry

Democracy is often called a system which is designed to make everybody equally unhappy  It is always a compromise situation. It is almost impossible to be elected as a strict conservative, a strict socialist, or anything like that. You have to have appeal for the majority of people or you simply will never be in power.Harper did a lot of very conservative things, and actually amazing amount considering he was mostly in a minority situation. I suspect poilievre will also do a lot of amazing things and we'll probably have at least one majority to play with at the beginning, possibly two. But nobody is going to stay in power for any length of time unless they appeal to a wide range of voters. That's how democracy works.

I agree with you on that one. 

I disagree on this one. Cutting funding from the CBC was not good enough. Harper should have abolished the CBC outright, but sadly, he did not. Harper left it wide open for the next liberal government to come along and who did once again gained power and they did give the CBC back our tax dollars and the liberals gave them even more.

One has to be a real and true conservative who will do what needs to be done and not be frightened off by the leftist liberal media. If the liberals wanted to get rid of the CBC, they would do it tout suite. No problem for them at all. A conservative government always seems to lack any conservative marbles. 

Our only hope is to hopefully see Poilievre as the next PM of Canada. Otherwise, this country will be totally phkd. 

Democracy should mean that we the people should have less government, less taxes, and more freedom, something that Canada appears to not be doing these days, but on the contrary, are moving more towards and away from democracy and towards communism. Just my opinion of course.

How tho?  With a minority gov't there was just no way to make that happen.

No, this is a democracy. You're thinking of a dictatorship. 

In a democracy you might get a minority gov't, and then the others can vote you down.  

Even if you get a majority you have to do what you promised to do and he didn't promise to axe the cbc, and you also have to follow the will of the people. 

That's democracy. Rule by the people. The prime minister is beholden to them. If you want a dictator who just does whatever he feels like move to russia or venezuela.  I think our way is better  

Now you can do whatever you like anyway and just ignore the people but that's horrible, that's what the liberals do. 

And there's only so many bits of legislation you can pass in a single sitting so you have to pick and choose what you're going to push through any given term. 

I suspect the CBC would have suffered much worse if harper had gotten majorities for those 10 years. But he didn't.  And he didn't have a mandate to kill the CBC. He did have other mandates that he had to spend his time delivering on.  That's just the reality of things.

Are we not heading for a communist like dictatorship in Canada with this WEF globalist Marxist dictator in Ottawa? This dictator of ours is always trying to look for and try to take rights and freedoms away from we the Canadian people. The emergency act, the many censorship laws that this dictator keeps trying to impose on Canadians. Cancelling peoples bank and credit cards. If this has nothing to do with communism then what does? 🤔

Probably not. I say that because based on how fast they are putting us into the ground and their efforts to slowly turn us towards Marxism we are almost guaranteed to crash and burn entirely long before we actually get to true communism.

Sure, and reflects the actions of the psychotic left in the south who are currently weaponizing the courts to try and end democracy there.

But ours will be gone soon. Hopefully their's will as well.

Only time will tell as to whether the Castro Trudeau commies in Ottawa will win or not. That is the name of the game. Burn to the ground our free enterprise capitalist system way of life into the ground and give us Stalinism. It is much closer than we think. 

So, if ours and theirs is gone, what is next? Hmmm?
