1.4 Billion taxpayer dollars going to the CBC? Wasteful! AND who watches it?

[halldorpalsson]

It is no longer an extreme position to want to defund the CBC!

[DawnWeber-zfmz]

WOOHOO!! Can't wait for it. Bye bye CBC

[cityiot]

I checked out watching any event on CBC when the weasel Ron MacLean tossed Don Cherry under the bus for telling Canadians support our veterans.

[DysfunctionalParrot]

Media should NEVER...NEVER...get a dime from the State.

[michaelart]

CBC does not even allow the public to leave comments here on YouTube...

[sladelerch]

I haven’t listened or watched CBC for years.

That's not funding ..
it's propaganda pay.
Say it like it is.

[rhondamartel]

Yay!!! I can’t wait either!!! Canadians need real journalism!
Thank u @RebelNews & @TrueNorth.

[tedpoplawski]

Why were they given “ performance bonuses”? Absolutely disgusting..get rid of the CBC.

[richardwebber]

CBC once defunded should consider the PBS model in the states. People who enjoy the CBC can pony up and help pay for it.

$1.4billion in publicly funded subsidies and yet they still hand out bonuses!!

[ADobbin]

The problem is there should not be a state broadcaster in a free society. They really should be standing on their own at this point.

[Howler-debrose]

He should stop the funding to all Canadian media, not simply the CBC.

[JV-qnys]

Way overdue! CBC won't even let you comment on their tax-funded articles unless you agree with them!

[Lostintime]

Well said! Sounds like a great plan to me!!!

[TRUECNDIN]

Those bonuses are more than what many Canadians make in a year! 😡

[MiniatureMasterClass]

It's absolutely OUTRAGEOUS CBC executives give themselves massive bonuses.

[mr.nimbus]

There's a reason they disabled comments on their videos.

[CplLeirRC]

In addition to defunding the CBC, he should disband the RCMP.
