What is going to kill funding for the CBC is that it receives $1.3 billion in funding, averages around 5% of the prime time television audience, and their news is incredibly biased in favor of the Liberal Party. The bulk of its content is not relevant, and the Conservatives can likely cut funding without anyone noticing.

Canadians in 2026: Why isn’t there any local reporting??

I don’t often read CBC, but I absolutely think having a public news service is VITAL given the shit that gets pumped out by private news corps, like Fox.

Most media in Canada is controlled by an American hedge fund. Once the CBC is defunded there will be very little available Canadian news sources in Canada that isn’t behind a paywall.

The problem with the cbc is its abandonment of liberal values.
For instance , a liberal society should not have a being black in Canada section or an indigenous section.
That’s should be Canadian news. More importantly how is a society supposed to view everyone as equals when two groups have their own sections in news section to the national broadcaster

Isn’t it the rapid decline of real journalism on the part of the CBC + terrible programming of their non-news offerings that will do them in?

If they can get they’re insane bias under control, they are worth saving. If it can’t be done, they are no use anyway.

Don’t for a split second believe that Poilievre will defund the CBC. He may cap spending or do some publicity layoffs, but that’s it.

Have you seen the bio’s of the members of this advisory panel that is supposed to modernize the CBC and make it more relevant to the average Canadian?
It’s a parade of fringe creators that specialize in diaspora and LGBTQ content, with a former Toronto Star editor and some university profs.
The reason that the CBC is dying, even with massive government subsidization, is that no one wants to watch their content. This isn’t new, CBC original programming has been the butt of jokes since the 1970’s.
What was keeping the CBC alive was hockey, which it has mainly lost, and News, which has seen a precipitous decline both in quality and viewership in the last 10 years.
These folks aren’t going to fix those problems.

The CBC is unwatchable in their bias against conservative voices. It is a woke progressive network that doesn’t represent mainstream Canadians. Defund.

Good bye CBC, we never liked you in first place.

No fuck them. That lady’s insistence on paying her and her executives bonuses when it looked like they were going to have to cut jobs told us where their priorities are.

The billionaire owners of the other media corps will demand PP defund the CBC! How dare canadians get another world view that does not jibe with the far right conservatives!

The CBC is such an important Canadian institution and it will be such a tragic loss to journalism and the arts in Canada. To be shut down for ‘bias’ after it was the first to break the news on so many liberal scandals and gaffs over the years. To me it seems mostly motivated by pigheaded spite, or a chance to open up more space for foreign controlled news sources.
Shame on anyone who decries censorship but then cheers for the destruction of the CBC.

When the Conservatives get in they’re going to be able to see the books and see how deep Liberal corruption runs. The Conservatives should make CBC’s funding contingent on them publishing and reporting on whatever revealing documents they pass them.

Well they are operating on the Taxpayer dime. Guess they shouldn’t have been extreme Liberal partisan hacks if they didn’t want blowback.
