The CBC is a big part of the reason Canada isn't as messed up as the US.

Canada has for-profit media and plenty of media that leans left or right. But, CBC exists to anchor that media universe with a boring, institutionalist, honest view.

Any problems the CBC has will be dwarfed by the massive problems having a for profit media cause.

When money becomes the only goal, society will be harmed.

As more and more traditional media die, the more we need CBC. It's only becoming more important.

The conservatives truly want to destroy Canada, they look to the south, see the divided country down there, and say "yes, please, some of that up here"

Hey, Ontario dumbfucks, stop voting CPC. You can swing this election.

Only fools would conclude that the problem of executive bonuses is caused by a public funding model. If you thought private companies don't hand out outlandish bonuses to executives, you haven't been paying attention.

We can go back to "reforms" Harper government done like muzzling scientists and defunding projects serving public interest. Of course those same people would want to defund the only outlet not in their pockets. I haven't seen a single point on Conservative agenda that is not going to harm average person short or long term. yet people still vote them in and Liberals behaving like entitled pricks do not make situation any better. Even NDP has shifted to the right. There's no federal party with representation in Parliament that has workers as a central point of their agenda. Everything is now about business which is very much not the same

As much as I like the cbc, the upper management should not be handing out bonuses while workers are being laid off.

I can hardly wait to not vote for this guy.

Most people would just say CBC should be run differently, but everyone familiar with the Conservatives know they really just itching to do a fire sale for all crown properties.

The swarm of bots on Youtube just simultaneously creamed themselves.

Media like the CBC and the ONF have been a huge part of my childhood. It would be a shame that future generations wouldn't get to experience it.

I listen and enjoy listening to CBC radio.

This would actually make my day to day life worse and I doubt he would give me a tax break that would be worth it.

I suppose that anyone that cannot see the similarities between Squinty McProudBoy and trump will be voting for Squinty McProudBoy and his base of white supremacists, fascists, racists, misogynists and assholes.

The CBC doesn’t do a perfect job but it’s far better than not having them.

That said it’s often better to look at foreign reporting of your country to get a better perspective.

I like the BBC for that with regards to Canada and either BBC or CBC for the US.

CBC is a mid news outlet, some bad reporting, some good reporting, I can see the benifit of their execs getting a pay cut, but overall is ok.
