No. You know what? #### it. I'd be ok with CBC news getting $100m every year.

You telling me they can't run a competent news network for $100m every year? All the while saving taxpayers $1.5 BILLION every year? If you are against saving that much money then you definitely are a communist.
Do Communists even exist anymore?

I'm not arguing that things couldn't be done better. I'm not arguing we cant save money. But I am arguing that the CBC is vital. It gets a lot of bashing, especially in Western Canada. But the alternative is far worse.

If you want Fox and CNN, have at it.
