Macleans magazine has long been "left leaning" IMO, but they are so good at what they do, it has no relevance to this discussion.
bottom line, whether or not the CBC is left leaning, in the middle, or whacko right....Canada is an advanced enough country that it doen't need ANY publically funded broadcaster. It simply is not up to the MP's to decide whether or not I need another "point of view" even if I agree with the original one.
the CBC served a valuable and important service....up til even 20 years ago. Its time has come and gone.... and gone again. Now it is nothing more than yet another tax on Canadian workers.

I believe they serve a useful purpose, you don't and don't seem to believe in any government subsidized business. I think we are so overrun with American culture, it's good to have a Canadian subset and I am willing to have my tax dollars go for it, even if they often have problems creating Canadian entertainment shows, I really like their documentaries and sports.
With you living in the States, I think you may lose track of this fact and aren't really in a position to comment with any authority.
