Another option is the government could target the funding to CBC to support the native culture stuff and possibly Canadian content entertainment and let them compete with everyone else on the rest.
There is an http://www.cbc.ca/ombudsman/contact.html. I have complained about some some articles and they actually have acted upon them. That being said, because of the funding threat to the CBC its natural for them to be more left leaning, its a matter of survival. I've detected that in the BBC as well and other public broadcasters(US Public radio).

One thing I found humerus is that on election night, if switched back and forth between CTV and CBC, the leading and elected for the PC party was always less by a few seats.

That being said, Peter Mansbridge is an excellent anchor and some of there other people are very talented.
