Why We Should Defund The CBC Now | EP 21

It's time to defund the CBC, says Pierre Poilievre.

Canada, under Justin Trudeau's government, spends a fortune on federally funded media. Largely, CBC news is a financial sinkhole, condemned by the conservative party of Canada and key conservative voices in Canada. This has eroded the public's trust in media and zero motivation in the news industry in Canada. Canada politics, similar to US politics, is becoming divisive amidst calls to defund the CBC and stop the horrendous government ventures on federally funded media, particularly, amidst a cost of living crisis and housing crisis in Canada. Others, including Elon Musk on Twitter, has called for defunding the CBC.
