Let's take this one step at a time.
1) The poll from the Globe and Mail says that most Canadians support the CBC funding.

What was the poll question? Was it:
Should the CBC funding be reduced and moved towards a more American style system of user funding, like PBS?
or
Should the CBC, particularly CBC radio, look for other avenues of funding, ie: advertising, thereby allowing for a reduction in gov't funding?

2) Do you still feel that you should not have your tax money going to the CBC even if the majority of Canadians want tax money going to the CBC?

Yes, I feel that way. Do you have an issue with dissent? I would much rather CBC, used other funding sources, radio ads, funding drives, etc. I would rather the funds that went to the CBC were directed elsewhere, Military, Coast Guard, National Parks, a host of other options.
