This right here is why the right wing hates CBC
“CBC will never be controlled by Musk or Zuckerberg. It will never belong to billionaire tech oligarchs. It will always belong to the people of Canada,” she said,
I think a funding hike is a little tone-deaf, considering many of us are at risk of losing our jobs at the moment.
You know how the government can create jobs?
By funding things that require employees.
A funding hike for the CBC will mean that they’ll be able to hire more people.
That seems like a weird whatabout. How is your job related to how much funding the CBC gets?
Not OP but if PP wins, he wants to defend the CBC.
I could see someone making that argument years ago. But now? Are you not paying attention to how important media that is less influenced by profit motive is right now?
Fox news is at the root of the the American Rot.
Poilievre is literally taking questions from Rebel News now and calling to fund far-right garbage.
Whichever party can promise another season or two of Anne will secure the majority government.
Doubling the CBC budget? Building high speed rail?
The Liberal’s election campaign teases sound kind of shockingly pre-neoliberal. This is going to be a very interesting couple of months.
I mean, and I didn’t track all his campaign promises and what he delivered on or not, but JT said he’d legalise weed, he did. If the Libs say they’ll invest in modern high-speed rail and double the CBC budget, and they only partially follow through on one? Still better than PP would do. He’d cut CBC funding, send it to far right “media”.
Neat tool. It’s a shame it doesn’t cover more provinces and politicians but it’s a good start.
