I really enjoy a lot of ABC and BBC content, but the CBC? Everything about it seems....amateur. Its just low quality.

Part of the problem (in my view) is that we don’t seem to put enough effort into creating opportunities for Canadian talent to shine and find good work and since we’re neighbours to US and the lure of Hollywood and all that it becomes a substantial issue.
You look at the BBC and there is mountains of content, many actors staying within the ecosystem playing roles in multiple programs, younger British actors getting their start, longer production timelines (which would be tough to get Canadian audiences used to). They’re also funded at 3x the amount, but even with that aside, there’s just a bigger commitment to fostering talent and creating something worthwhile.
Dunno if the CBC could ever be the BBC, but it’d be nice.
