De-funding the CBC.
Wonder of wonders - Andrew Coyne writes a piece that invades the territory of common sense.
Some of us have been making the case for defunding the Corpse for, um, decades, at a time when most of my media colleagues were instructing the public in the worship of the CBC as The Only Thing that Keeps Us Together. But then, as they say, when the watering hole starts to run dry, the animals tend to look at each other differently.

The bias of the state (taxpayer) funded CBC always tends to be in favour of whatever party promises continued and more funding over any that does not. Last election it was the Liberals. Self serving or just coincidence?.

Isn't that just human nature? Would you kiss someone that doesn't like you?
