I can hardly wait to not vote for this guy.
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.
Yup, CBC can be hit or miss on our local oligarchs.
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.
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
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.
Hey, Ontario dumbfucks, stop voting CPC. You can swing this election.
Ontario is a brain injury.
Lol, I have been voting since the 2000’s and never voted CPC or any other Conservative party until 2019 (and still haven’t provincially)… Provide me with an alternate that leaves both the Liberals and NDP without power and I’ll gladly not vote CPC this time around.
Full disclosure: I’ve recently been considering voting PPC for the first time.
As more and more traditional media die, the more we need CBC. It’s only becoming more important.
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.
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.
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”
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.
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.
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.
He doesn’t seem very much like Trump to me, and I definitely won’t be voting for him.
Like, he seems bad, but let’s not cheapen actual fascism.
As much as I like the cbc, the upper management should not be handing out bonuses while workers are being laid off.
Some of these bonuses are part of the performance evaluation they already signed on and whether they met these objectives or not. You can’t really go back on an agreement made before the cuts.
That should be good news to the staff being let go. Pretty sure they had agreements too.
Most of those initial job cuts before the funding issue was fixed were vacant positions that were abolished and not fulfilled, which were already budgeted for.
