Defund the CBC!
There are countless reasons to defund the CBC:
They undercut private sector and
independent media and compete for advertising space, all while receiving more
than $1.2 billion per year in direct taxpayer subsidies.
They frequently take content from other news outlets and pass it off as their
own – including from True North!
They consistently run cover for their preferred political parties, while giving
endless negative coverage to the parties they don’t like.
And speaking of bias, they even sued the Conservative Party of Canada during
the 2019 election!
We could go on and on.
But here is the most important
reason of all:
Even with the Trudeau government
continuing to increase their funding, fewer people than ever are tuning into
the CBC.
In 2019, less than 4% of Canadians
watched the CBC.
That’s why they reported an 18%
decline in advertising revenue in 2021. Meanwhile, CBC execs are cashing big
bonus cheques despite their dismal performances.
Taxpayers should no longer fund
Trudeau’s media machine. If you agree, sign up below in support of independent
