OK so provide some proof of it then please.
You are basically saying that the government is influencing the coverage of CBC.
Produce some actual information that shows that.

Otherwise you are part of the problem. A strongly formed loud opinion based on poor knowledge, little information, and bad assumptions.

To answer your question. No. When Harper was in power they didn't have a right bias. I would suggest that any left lean was in place then as well. Which suggests little to no influence by the government in power.

Again the media bias fact check site reference in this site, conclude there is a slight lean to the left by the CBC but the more important conclusions are:
- High factual reporting
- High credibility
- Low biased for straight news reporting
- Opinion pieces slightly favor the left, but have been critical of liberal leaders too
- No failed fact checks

Every news outlet has a lean. But the CBC is amongst the most credible and there is no evidence of government interference.

This stuff gets spread and people believe it.
It's a damn shame.

And I'll cut you off before you go there I'll just say, you are allowed to have an opinion. I just think it's one that is really badly informed.
