    The alternative is media owned by foreign (American) billionaires.

    I much prefer the one our taxes pay for thank you very much.

      We’ve been through this before and it pushed our country into alternative foreign owned and backed media shit. The Rebel Media and such got a huge surge in traffic after Trudeau promised funding to the CBC. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills at this point, does nobody else remember this shit?

        I don’t remember that, no. But CBC needs funding regardless.

        I have trouble believing increased funding for CBC was the majority force behind our current media landscape.

          Well it was, I remember having to hear about it endlessly from all my construction friends at work constantly when it happened.
