    Can’t read behind the paywall. But otherwise in those 3 lines, don’t like.

    They need the money for the $100 million Indian international student scholarships they’ve announced.

  3. I’d actually love CBC to become like the UKs BBC and have a broader or world appeal.

    CBC Gem is basically a Netflix with tons of Canadian content and while I’m not sure how licensing works, I’d love for it to be accessible outside of Canada just to export our culture a bit more.

    Ever since CBC announced massive bonuses to their executive team while doing massive layoffs, I lost any sympathy for them.

    Good decision by the Liberals here.

    Man I need that Scooby Doo meme of the face reveal of Mark Carney mask being Stephen Harper.

  6. Not sure I agree with this.

    While it’s nowhere near what the CPC wants to do, building up the CBC seems like something of paramount importance, and knocking it down a notch isn’t something I support.

    Guys Carney might not be that bad after all

    Let’s get rid of all the overpaid CBC execs 🤢

    So pledge $150M 11 months ago saying we’re falling behind Europe and need to do better, hint at even increasing from the $150M, and enshrine that funding in law so future governments can’t mess with it without approval for Parliament.

    Thanks for following through on yet another promise!

    I am a huge supporter of CBC. Totally foundational to the media landscape in Canada.

    While that’s a big oof in terms of funding, at the same time a reminder that the Conservatives proposed cutting the CBC altogether, not decreasing funding by nearly $200 million. Still not great, not really supportive of this move, especially after the great Olympics coverage (ads aside lolol), but it’s still not an absolute guttage like Poilievre proposed. I’m sure most people get that of course, but just still noting it.

    Remind me again, how much funding does CTV, Global and CityTV receive in Government handouts?

  12. I take it this will affect their streaming service? I use CBC Gem on my TV to watch Heartland daily.

  13. I expect eventually viewers and listeners like you, will have to start funding drives to keep them on the air.

    Neither a Liberal voter nor a Conservative voter, I’m just watching with amusement as the Liberal voters justify Carney’s policies which are, in a real sense, Stephen Harper 2.0.

    They don’t cut the budget, they just have not renewed a one shot temporary financial boost of 150 millions they gave last year.

    Time for the CBC to receive a sustainable separation package, setting it up as a distinct and independent organisation. This means a sizeable capital that can form a trust, from which operating income came be drawn

    Impossible I was told PP would do that and the liberals would save CBC! Has carney become the maple MAGA??

  18. MusclyArmPaperboy on

    Ugh I didn’t like it when the CPC proposed it and I don’t like it when the LPC is enacting it

  19. MeaninglessOpinion on

    Lmao. So after all the bellyaching last year when Poilievre talked about this, including a whole-ass r/SaveTheCBC sub with paid ads, we now get to hear about what a great idea this is from the usual water-carriers. Gonna go get my popcorn ready.

    The left a year ago: Conservatives want to defund CBC, that’s bad.

    The left today: Cutting CBC’s funding is fiscally responsible.

  21. ubiquitous_archer on

    They still have a budget of like 1.3 billion. That feels like plenty

  22. EmergencyWorld6057 on

    Hilarious that Carney is more conservative than conservatives themselves

    The party must be confused asf.

    I was honestly very skeptical about him, but so far he’s impressing me with taking their policies and implementing them.

    A conservative who doesn’t cater to the conspiracy theorists, anti science, anti vax, evangelical nut cases.
