The budget axe came down on the CBC Tuesday, as the TV news series Connect with Mark Kelley and CBC Radio’s Dispatches were both cancelled as a result of Ottawa’s cuts to the public broadcaster in the latest federal budget.

Over the next three years, CBC will eliminate 650 full-time positions, with 475 of them coming in this fiscal year. The CBC will shed 256 jobs, Radio-Canada 243 jobs and corporate services 151. The reductions represent about 7% of the broadcaster’s workforce of 8,900.

I say cut MP pensions first. We get much less enjoyment out of them than we do radio programs.

The last thing Harpo and the Cons want is well informed, critically thinking voters. They would prefer if everyone got their "information" from SUN news and Ezra rants.

I think that someone should have asked Canadians how they wanted their money spent. I feel as though a great amount of people love CBC and I have always found it informational. This cut was unnecessary. Poll us first! We're not happy.
