For those that seek a future that brings together the best of the insights and objectives of people who, within the social democratic and democratic socialist traditions, have worked through farmer, labour, co-operative, feminist, human rights and environmental movements, and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples, to build a more just, equal, and sustainable Canada within a global community dedicated to the same goals.

Yeah sure, we should all just trust nonpartisan and totally unproblematic "news" sources like the Western Standard and Rebel News, isn't that correct, Ms. Tait?
Fuck these vultures trying to strip an incredibly valuable and highly ethical news source from Canadians. Their greed and partisan transparency would be laughable if it wasn't so frightening.
there's no greed in it. Their war on CBC is very real and for a very good reason: quality news and independence from shareholders/investors really threatens present day Conservatives' existence. US is their playbook where pretty much all news sources are reduced to billionaire's mouthpieces. If it's not Murdoch it's Bezos, etc. NPR is a drop in a bucket and they cannot afford to compete with Fox or CNN. So it's is not greed, it is control. Cons want the ability to domimate news space. With institution like CBC in place it is really difficult to achieve.
