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).
....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.

How would you know how I vote? You say I ignore reality, but the reality is that the Conservatives were in power for nearly a decade and never really defunded the CBC.
What will probably happen is that their mandate will become more focused and perhaps a cut to funding to coincide with the reduced mandate and that will be played off as a win. The Conservatives will continue to fundraise on this win and play it off like they are fighting the good fight.
The likelihood that $1+ billion dollars is going to be cut from the CBC, allowing it in essence to collapse quickly, small town and rural Canada going to be left with little to no radio/tv/sports coverage is low in my opinion. It's not politically popular, you don't need to rock the boat this much for little political gain.
I actually like the CBC but I also don't think they need to be involved in as many things as they are, a more narrow focus.
As for your comments about hack writers and commentators, I am a bit confused. Do the Liberals/NDP/Greens not play the same game? All political parties play the same game when it comes to the media and have their talking points, their pundits and more. Sooner or later the media types get sick of the BS from the people in power and start to push back more aggressively. I am starting to notice significant pushback from MSM on the Trudeau government for basic things like a lack of economic plan, housing crises and other issues to Canadians like immigration resettlement/affordability and more.
How we end up with ANYBODY in power in Canada is through elections and democracy in action and a realization that once in a while, your side rocks and your side is ****ing the bed bad. When I say your side I mean whoever's, including mine, which may also be yours? I don't know.
