Defund the CBC
We the undersigned call on the Liberal government to defund the CBC.
Whereas the CBC undercuts private sector and independent media and competes for advertising space while receiving more than $1 billion in direct taxpayer subsidies.
Whereas the CBC paid over $18 million in executive bonuses after eliminating hundreds of jobs.
And whereas the CBC mostly provides opinions and coverage that are widely available in a free and competitive media marketplace.
Therefore, be it resolved that we call on this Liberal government to defund the CBC to save taxpayer dollars and ensure a free and competitive press in the Canadian media landscape.
