I know Manitoba would love the $1.39 billion that the CBC gets every year to improve our health care services and get people off the streets of Winnipeg.
We could start with funding the housing initiative that Shiloam Mission is starting to reduce homelessness by 30% each year in Winnipeg. I think it only needs $10 million per year!

Well, Manitoba already gets the most per capita in federal transfers outside the maritimes and the north. Divying up 1.3 billion between all the provinces isn't going to change much. Maybe now that you have a change in government at the provincial level you'll see the changes you're hoping for.
I don't consume much, if anything, from the CBC but thinking that getting rid of it is going to change anything or improve life is nonsense. It's a political dog whistle.
