Since they are getting taxpayers money to the degree that they are, it would be wise if they didn't compete so heavily in some aspects from an advertising and revenue perspective. That money is better aligned going to other media outlets so they can continue to provide quality coverage, not getting axed to death by their corporate leaders. Canada needs significant media overhaul to the highest degree.-snip-

Why would you delude yourself? Why wouldn't you take his word,s which he has been saying for year,s at face value?

One of Poilievre's first policy commitments was a promise to defund the CBC — a proposal that he says would save $1 billion. He has described the Crown corporation as a "billion-dollar propaganda arm" of the Liberal government.

This is why I have such disdain for voters like you. You blatantly ignore reality, hope something else will happen despite all facts pointing elsewhere, then go hide when they actually do what they said they would do(or telegraphed for ages before).

Last month, the Conservative Party posted a Valentine's Day message that mocked the CBC, the Toronto Star and the Canadian Press wire service and called on the prime minister to "stop buying off the media to gain himself favourable coverage." The post on X (formerly known as Twitter) linked to a "petition" that called on the government to "stop funding Trudeau's media allies with taxpayers' dollars."

....and then all Trudeau haters repeat this kind of trash, dismissing and devaluing the hard work of the only real journalists left in this country. We see it around here all the time. Posters believe and spread this nonsense, then scurry off to their own sources run by grifters to hand out money to hack "commentary" writers who are the ones that actually write propaganda, and then posters treat that as fact and enlightenment. This is exactly how we end up with Danielle Smith. And now we'll end up with Pierre, too, and all the good parts you like about CBC will vanish and you will be left in a daze wondering how it all happened.
Be. Better.
