Lorne Gunter delivers a brief editorial about the need to defund the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation):

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.
Pierre Poilievre, our probably next Prime Minister, has talked about lowering the funding the CBC, although he seems to believe there is a need to retain funding for the French service of the CBC, which, despite being called Radio Canada, includes the French-language TV service as well. Still, even just privatizing the English language service should save us a billion dollars a year and deprive only a paltry few of programming they care about.
