Heartland
Hockey Night in Canada
Little Mosque on the Prairie

The National
Republic of Doyle
The Rick Mercer Report
I'm sure the people who watch these shows can find replacements easy enough. A billion dollars and this is what they come up with? I know there's more to the CBC than just the TV stations but how can they even burn through that much per year. Heck, the TV station has as much commercials as every other channel. They should be self-supporting not a funds black hole.

The CBC is archaic, no longer serves it's original purpose, and should be eliminated entirely.
