To everyone grateful to the CBC for this reporting, as well as rightly concerned about US & corporate/billionaire ownership of our media oligopoly:

please send a letter to our PM and tell him not to proceed with his plan to cut funding for the CBC.

His plan to cut funding? You mean the plan to put $150mil into CBC?

Yep that was indeed the election promise!

But that was then, this is now, and despite that promise, Carney is instead looking to cut the CBC's budget by $198m.
