CBC is kind of a polarizing topic as people don't like change and since CBC's been around for our lifetime that some feel it's more necessary than it actually is. I'm of the opinion that it's a relic of Canadian past and the declining returns in 2024 don't warrant the investment. You have to look at a lot of issues the country faces today and ask yourself if the country really needs to be spending over a billion dollars a year for a service that only a 1/4 of Canadians even use. It's one of those things where the country has to make the tough decision that it's an institution from the past that is no longer viable today with people using the internet for news and entertainment. The reality is that it's a "nice to have" and not a necessity for Canadians and defunding it is probably something that will inevitably happen.
