Shootings

But if they are dependent on taxpayers dollars...

Cdns should realize that the "private" networks are publicly subsidized to the tune of a billion dollars a year.

As for being anti- conservative, one must remember it was Chretien who initiated the largest single cut to CBC.
Whichever party is in power has always accused CBC of being "anti"...its because the CBC are doing their job holding govt feet to the fire.
Frankly for $0.55 a week, I get wonderful entertainment and information from cbc radio and tv..from a variety of shows.
Plus, at almost the lowest funding in the world, no other public broadcaster in the world faces the challenges CBC has to face
Meanwhile Sun Media, (which recieves public subsidies) owned by businessman and now (rabidly) separatist Parti Qeubecois politician PK Peladeau, has long mounted a campaign against CBC- Radio-Canada, Why? to eliminate what he sees as competition for his own media empire.

PS- sure one can recieve 300 channels, but virtually none will have Canadian stories.
