I also wonder about the CPC fear-mongering here. Is their position that the CBC, which is totally open and transparent and susceptible to government funding, campaigning to oust the Tories? Do they actually think that this is a massive conspiracy to move them to the opposition? If they. Do then they ought to just come right out and make those allegations.

Wow.

Information commissioner Suzanne Legault's latest annual report shows the CBC received almost 900 complaints from 2007 to 2010, by far the most levied against any federal institution subject to the Access to Information Act
Legault said complaints skyrocketed by 80% after some 70 agencies were added to federal disclosure rules in 2007, but most were directed at Canada's public broadcaster for failing to make information available
More than 85% of the grievances investigated against the CBC were found to have merit, according to figures in Legault's report.

Far from "totally open and transparent"...no?
Also...here is the connection according to Ezra Levant.

Try it out yourself. If you answer neutrally or "no opinion" to every question, it tells you you're for Michael Ignatieff.
Not surprisingly, the CBC has stonewalled requests to release their formula.
Why the secrecy? CBC spokesman Jeff Keay said there is no bias, "as far as we know." What does that mean? Has Keay even seen the formula? Whose word is he taking that it's fair?
Perhaps he's taking the word of Peter Loewen, the "director of analytics" for the Vote Compass. Loewen just happens to have been a policy adviser for Michael Ignatieff's 2006 Liberal leadership campaign
