I have to agree with his opinion that when 97% of the CBC executives -
and they gave a staggering number of executives for their size - get a
hefty bonus, something is truly rotten in the running of that
corporation. The funding for these generous bonuses comes from tax
money. Meanwhile, viewership of CBC programs is not very high either.

How much does the cost of CBC work out per Canadian tax payer per year?

I've read that for American PBS/NPR, it comes out to something like $0.05

biased towards the Left/Democrats.

Seems baked-in that PBS/NPR is, by charter, biased toward the arts ...and therefore toward the Left/Democrats, relatively speaking.

Oh right, because the Left/Democrats are the great intellectuals among us and the great unwashed masses are innately suspicious of such content.

If you say so.

No, actually that's what you lot think about yourselves.

I leave "great intellectuals" for you to chase down at will.  Meanwhile, here's what Googled up re fine arts:
----------------------------------------
     --- Amendment #60 to eliminate all funding for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) was defeated by a vote of 292-129
     --- Amendment #61 to eliminate all funding to the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) was defeated by a vote of 292 to 132.
100% of Democrats voted against both amendments and were joined by a strong 39% of Republicans to make it a bipartisan declaration that Congress supports the arts and culture.
