Taxpayer support is worth it for Canadian identity on the CBC as opposed to American clones

Might be if CBC was even remotely connected to Canadian identity. But CBC is Toronto's far left identity that they would like to inflect on Canada. We are not interested.

Tell me Colpy, Do you want to see nothing but American broadcasters in Canada? Can you not imagine the bloody mess that would be? Almost all countries in this world have at least one public broadcasting network. If nothing else, it provides an independant view of the big news stories. We sure as hell need that. Are you going to line up at the border to welcome the American networks? Sounds like you are already doing that. Do you even know what CBC is in Northern areas where CBC broadcasts in a half dozen first nation languages?

Why should we pay for that. Ever hear of satellite radio? Can get almost anything you want and the rest of us don't have to pay for it.
If the CBC didn't have such a left bias it might be defendable.

How many of you CBC haters have actually listened to it in the last two or three decades? Sounds like you have your opinions handed to you by the now defunct SUN Snewz and that rabid dog Ezra.

I try not to except occasionally the news early in the morning. The rest is drivel with no tunes.

I don't listen to it at all. I just read through this thread and what I saw and heard were a bunch of yapping rabid dogs echoing Ezra's ranting puke. Yes Walter, you are a rabid dog, as well as a senile old fart. You might pull your head out of your butt once in a while and smell the polluted air for a change.

I listen to C.B.C. radio every day. It has one main fault as far as I'm concerned. Too many hours a day are devoted to the many forms of sexual orientation. B.T.W. I have nothing against any of them and I think they should be accommodated.............................on a separate wave length.

That might be an issue. Why are we funding something which nobody is listening?

I listen all the time. The Vinyl Café is one of my favorites. In fact the CBC is on at my house all day Sunday. The doesn't mean I expect others to pay for my listening pleasure.

There are lots of people that like the CBC but don't feel the taxpayers need to support it. You are, as usual, mightily confused Cliffy.

Ah, yes, privatization. How is that working out at Ontario Hydro or BC Rail or most other institutions that our governments have sold off to commercial interests?

Worked well for CKUA radio. Let's compare apples to apples.

this explains much about you! With the "Setting Sun" looks like you're SOL now... what's next for you?

CBC simply contributes to the continuing dumbing down of public discourse........

An "independent" view?

Pul leaze!!!!

of course if you challenge a right-wing HarperCon supporting CBC television basher to state what CBC programs presented that so-called "CBC biased lefty view"... they go all mute and wildly deflect/distract... or they bark out something about ZUZUKI :mrgreen:
