You’re right, why put an extra $1.3 billion per year into our school system when we can “educate and inform” Canadians through programming like Fridge Wars and Hockey Night In Canada?.

If you’d like to continue funding a dying media group, be my guest. I’d rather not use tax dollars to support an unsustainable entertainment broadcaster.
Yeah because that’s what all the money is going towards. Definitely not the incredible news coverage and investigative journalism. There’s also this wild thing called “cultural programming” the CBC does, like highlighting and funding Canadian media and stories.
Fuck all the people like you complaining about them taking your tax dollars. If everyone paid equally for it, their current budget totals ~$3/month for every Canadian. If you wanna removed about wasted tax dollars, how about we talk about the tens of billions in subsidies going to oil and gas?

I don’t disagree, as I also enjoy their news and investigative journalism, but that’s beside the point.

They are mandated to, but they also aren’t the only ones doing it.

Forced $45 a year, plus they paywall their News Network.
I would rather my tax dollars go elsewhere, but that’s just me. $45 per person is a lot. We could double Parks Canada’s funding if we gave it to them instead.

Can’t we do both? After all, we give the CBC almost as much as we give the Department of the Environment.
Imagine if we doubled that to 90$/year. Hopefully they could free themselves up from having to serve ads to make ends meet, and make the news network free for all.
Should we shut down public funding for schools while we’re at it?
How dare the government spend money to keep the public educated and informed!

P.S. You’re an idiot.

Jesus Christ you’re really licking the boots of American news corps and billionaires eh? $45 is worth the quality reality based news we get.
