That said, saying that Canada shouldn't have a public broadcaster at all is a fair opinion, even if it's not one that I personally share. What really grinds my gears, though, is when people say the CBC should be more like the BBC but they don't want to fund it accordingly.

Personally I could not possibly care less where our Canadian television talent goes. Many of our hockey players already leave to the states, why should I care where the actors, directors and producers go?
