Depends if you want to support lying media, which the Green Party seems fine with. Given the Green Party are rabidly antisemitic and support the man-made climate change fairy tale, I can see why they'd be drawn to lying.

Ok folks.... Tait is gone in less than 30 days..relax.A new head is taking over in January.She has already given a view of the CBC..I am sure you caught it..
The CBC has been talked to death with Tait and others..
I don't need someone to speak for me about the CBC.I pay 35 bucks a year, and have already stated it needs some changes and improvement.

And good riddance to her.

If there really is a new CBC boss come January 1, we'll see what this person does in order to save the Liberal mouthpiece from annihilation.
First up, let's see a new budget and how much it sucks out of Canadian taxpayers. If it's a significant cut, then I'll give this person a chance. If not, off with its head.

I also give thanks for this ethos richness bestowed on us via British Colonialism.

Nope. It was hate, through and through. The CBC using our tax dollars to spread hate about other world leaders. Inexcusable.

Got to thinking about all this Anti Conservative/pro Liberal bias.
Detractors said the same thing when the Conservatives were in government

Care to let us know when that was? : https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/cbc-bu ... -1.1147096
The public broadcaster will see 10 per cent taken from its current $1.1-billion budget as part of a $5.2-billion cut to federal spending over three years. The budget will be trimmed $27.8 million for 2012-13, another $41.8 million in 2013-14 and a further $45.4 million in 2014-15 for a total of $115 million. That means the budget is set to be $115 million less from then on.
bet the CBC had swell things to say about Harper...Not.

Looks much the same to me as the cuts to immigration allowances

Just a papercut, nothing more

Canadians are still on the hook for billions spent on the CBC being the mouthpiece for the Liberals
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

And that will never change as long as the CBC is suckling from the government teat.

That is unlikely. Most Canadians pay little or nothing, while high income earners are being soaked. If CBC were an optional subscription service, it would be gone faster than the booze supply at a party for Democrats who have lost to Trump.

I haven't watched CBC this much for at least 10 years.
Guess they are good for something one day out of 20 billions dollars over this time.
And the table they are all sitting around is amazing.
That has to be $50,000 taxpayers dollars there at least.

Their precious elbows must touch nothing that’s not extravagant in nature.

Today I visited CBC news to look over their take on the Freeloader resignation, and as per usual, comments turned to OFF

Then went to Global where comments ran on for miles excoriating CF but especially the Trudeau and his wild, out of control spending of our money. Most were yelping for election NOW.

Such a difference between 2 news sites.

The CBC is making the call to stand by their man, Justin, and go down with the ship. Or they are so stunned and so living inside a bubble that they just don't get it how things are outside their echo chamber. The CBC just plain sucks.
