I have nothing against public broadcasting but CBC is awful. If it was even 1/10th of the BBC I'd have no complaints.

No offense, but I don't think you're the intended audience. You're a 20 year old dude whose priorities are probably drinking, clubbing and chasing girls (ideally in Europe!).... as they should be at that age.
You don't have to be Peter to appreciate it, but I definitely like CBC more as I age....it's not all good by any means (all the fictional series type stuff is awful). but there's lots of good stuff. Solid news programming, great documentaries, Olympics coverage that is eons above the Americans, HNIC (despite the awful panel the last few years), good talent like George Strombolopolous, Jian Ghomeshi etc.
Without public funding, CBC turns into CTV. A crapstastic television station whose best programming is American reruns I can get elsewhere. No thanks.
