CBC is a crown corporations. WE, canadians, own it. It is OURS and it is INDEPENDANT JOURNALISM. Crown corporations are wholly owned federal or provincial organizations that are structured like private or independent companies. They include enterprises such as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), VIA Rail, Canada Post and the Bank of Canada; as well as various provincial electric utilities. Crown corporations have greater freedom from direct political control than government departments.

PP do not understand the difference between publicly funded and ‘state’ funded. The government transfers Canadian taxpayer money to the CBC which operates separately from government. The government does not control the CBC. This simple distinction is beyond his limited intellect.

CBC is PUBLICLY funded!! Therefore, yes the funds are funnelled through the govt, but not govt state media. We will leave that to fox propaganda news and post media that is owned by the USA ultra right wing.

Postmedia is owned by Hedge fund billionaires allied with Trump and pushing MAGA propaganda.

What you're proposing is restricting free speech, and I'm not okay with that! Making media be more open about their ownership, funding, etc. is worthwhile, but as long as they're not trafficking in hate speech or other illegal activities, they should be allowed to share their views no matter how much you or I disagree with them.

I'm not sure what you're trying to point out, but maybe I'm missing something? I'm also confused since he's Canadian.

I mean... If you can do 2+2 you can understand what is happening right? Postmedia is literally a MAGA propaganda machine.
