Should the government increase funding to the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation)?

Decrease funding and put the extra money towards something like child care and dental care. We don't need to give the CBC so much money.

No, and decrease funding for highly political issues or poor reporting. Too much bias has become apparent in the CBC.

Yes, but also enact a US-Style Fairness Doctrine to ensure equal & fair coverage on all news networks.

The CBC should be made independent and if not than the tax payer should have more influence over the institution than the government.

Yes, the CBC is an integral part of our society, and encourages good programming of what's happening in our backyard.

The government should decrease the funding, because a lot of what we see on the news is either fake, dramatized, or straight up a lie.

Only when absolutely necessary

Same increase as all other government worker

Use it for propoganda

Neither, the funding is adequate.

No, I just don’t think they need anymore

Yes, however it ought to be entirely non-partisan and report what the public needs to hear, not what government wants the public to hear.

Same. Stop federal political appointments

Depends. Will the CBC continue to be a mouthpiece for the existing government, or return to its independent programming?

The government should prioritize funding for other sections such as education, healthcare or social services.

Yes, only if it is reformed from its current state. If it cannot be made into a federal entity, then it should be privatized and sold.

Yes, but only if the standard of journalism is unbiased, nonpartisan, fact based and all opinion pieces are removed.

The CBC is no longer a good news source. Nearly everything on there is boring fluff. Important issues are sidetracked or completely ignored.

Increase funding to public broadcasting. Invest in bi partisan public broadcasting so every Canadian has access to quality news. Every area should be required to have a public broadcasting station that works on radio and on TV. Every Canadian should be able to access the news and it should be non political and funded by the government.

Yes, but make sure it goes to informative sources.

NO CBC is so incredibly biased in some topics its after spreading misinformation about the aquaculture industry. If people are going to be informed they should have access to unbiased reporting of events.

Sell it or abolish goverments should not run news organizations

It should be relatively maintained to where it is now.

Yes, but it must remain apolitcal in order to receive such funding.

Yes, and it should be a consistent amount that isn't politicized (although some politicians make it that way.)

No, it's fine as it is

Only if the CBC is reformed to an unbiased, fact based approach

Government shouldn’t have any involvement in news sourcs

I am satisfied with the current funding and should continue unbiased reporting

Keep the current amount.

Yes, but not significantly

No and keep it as is.

Yes, as long as they're doing the job great

Neither, maintain current funding to the CBC.

I am satisfied with the current amount of funding

Yes, but only after an audit and ensurance that they will provide balanced journalism on both sides and no opinion news. Also require news anchors to have no party affiliation.

Reform to have an unbiased news source

Audit the CBC and ensure they are going to privide fair and balanced news coverage, not opinions, not the anchors' personal politics. Establish Media Fairness laws.

Same as now

no, at this point it should be able to fund itself with ads

The CBC should cease to exist, like yesterday

Funding of the CBC should be transferred to the provinces to ensure unbiased media coverage.

More funding to create Canadian content based on Canadian culture. Canadians are starting to become fanatical Americans that thinks our human rights are based on the American Constitution and not the Magna Carta!

Use a tv license fee like the UK model, to keep government and media seperate

doesn’t matter to me

No, if the government were to fund a wide-spread news source, the pubic's best interest may be compromised. That is not to say, however, that information should not be free and easily accessible.

No, and significantly reform the institution to be politically unbiased and relevant

The CBC ties our country together. It should be less tied to the government of the day for budgets and board members.

Regardless, defund, audit and prosecute the CBC for lying to the public and telling fake stories and ensure they only report facts and not biased journalism for one side or another and then restore funding only after they hire new journalists that will only report real news, not fake news.
