Wrong. CBC was leaning conservative prior to Carney. The CBC isnt controlled by the feds
Most media outlets are owned by conservative or repubes. Alot owned by yanks
Anything postmedia – yanks
National post, Ottawa citizen, the garbage toronto and vancouver suns, the herald and gazette.The fact that you used the term “woke culture” simply proves you really dont know what you are talking about.
You sure about that? – meaning the bolded part.
The CBC has been viewed as being VERY left leaning / supportive before Carney, Rosemary Barton and the others couldn’t stop themselves from lapping up everything Trudeau had to say and rebroadcasting it as if it was the word of god.
Which was CBC was viewed as leaning in the past is irrelevant now for the most part but the liberals have propped it up and given it more money than the Conservatives did – here is some CBC funding info from the last 3 years of Harper to today that you may (or may not) find interesting:
• 2012-13: Reduced by $27.8 million.
• 2013-14: Reduced by $41.8 million.
• 2014-15: Reduced by $45.4 million.
• 2015–2016: Upon taking office, the Liberals reversed prior cuts to CBC, injecting an immediate $75 million into the broadcaster’s budget, followed by $150 million in ongoing annual reinvestments
• 2018–2020: Base parliamentary funding stabilized at roughly $1.2 billion annually.
• 2020–2021: Appropriations temporarily increased to approximately $1.4 billion to cover retroactive salary increases and pandemic-related costs.
• 2024–2025: The federal government included extra top-up funding (e.g., an additional $42 million) in the budget, bringing the estimated total to nearly $1.38 billion.
• 2025–2026: The government added a $150 million funding top-up to help update the broadcaster’s operations.
• 2026–2027: Main estimates for the 2026–27 cycle allotted $1.383 billion. While this reflects a decrease of $192 million compared to the 2025–26 cycle, analysts noted that this is not a reduction to the CBC’s base funding, but rather the expiration of those temporary top-ups from the previous year.
