No Evidence Poilievre himself has ever been anything other than funded by government

CBC is a health hazard.

If my wife makes me listen to CBC on the way to town for physio my blood pressure goes up 25 points.

But the "press is the enemy of the people" types like yourself were complaining about the CBC and the MSM long before the notable "left wingers" moved on. LOL

I used to be a big fan of the cbc. The radio was set to CBC more often than anything else. I was slowly losing interest during the Trump years, and completely stopped listening during covid.
I'm a big boy, I can handle information or opinions which conflict with my world views. In fact I welcome that, that's why I regularly engage with you on here.
But listening to CBC got to be an insult to Canadians intelligence.
Quirks and quarks, as it happens, all of the comedy programming, cross country checkup, under the influence etc were all must listens for me.

I understand their desire to spread the gospel. But I don't understand is what purpose it serves when they went so far off the deep end that they lost any of their audience who wasn't as beyond hope indoctrinated as Chuck is. Wouldn't they have been better off preaching a moderate religion to a large audience rather than an extremist religion to very small minority of hardcore liberals who have their mind made up regardless what they hear on cbc?

At one time I would have supported continuing to fund CBC radio at least. Now it most definitely should be defunded. Which is not the same as demanding they be silenced or canceled. Let the consumers vote with their wallets, not our tax dollars.

A bought-off press is the most despicable enemy of mankind. Better to have no press but free social media.

Are Fox News , Rebel , CNN … or any of those media broadcasters publicly funded by tax payers ?

Chuck you ignore the point , yet again

Some of you seem to forget the obvious that some private media owners exert control over the editorial content of their entities and are not independent sources of unbiased news.

Case in point. Fox and Rupert Murdoch purposely encouraged lying about the "stolen" election and Dominion voting machines. They are in a lot of trouble if they lose the libel case for 1.5 billion.

The CBC is publicly funded and independent of the government of the day.

So when Steven Harper was in power did Steve direct the CBC to only put forth his views? LOL

The CBC has a long history of investigating and breaking negative news and scandals about Liberal governments whether they liked it or not.

Many of you also complain about CTV and Global and all of the privately controlled MSM outlets.

The reality is many of you will never be happy unless the media and the news only supports your particular point of view.

Crypto Polly and some of you want to get rid of any media outlets you don't like, just like Putin and Russia do.

Crypto Polly wants to hide from the media and not answer hard questions. If you can't answer hard questions and defend your self in public then you don't deserve to be Prime Minister.
