While CBC has it fair share of duds like Rita Mcneil et al specials, i think it is absolutely fantastic when it comes to covering large sporting events, comedy and the news. This is especially apparent when coming back from the US, where everything is bold and glitzy, but quite fake.

Even though Im not a huge Mansbridge fan, I absolutely love all the news specials that CBC produces. It covers a much more international breadth and is always quite fascinating, something I can't say for all the local news which is ripe with vapid stories that are about as deep as the 06 Flames playoff run.
