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

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.

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

Yes if it allows for better Journalism that doesn't seek to Gardner ad revenue and not scared to step on peoples toes.

No, a true democracy should not have state funded media. The CBC should become fully privatized or be shutdown.

I believe it should be a general Canadian funding agreement and not associated with any singular party and backed by fact checking

Yes, but their journalistic practises and programming mandates need to be reformed along with a change in leadership

Yes, but tie the news to independent Bipartisan fact checkers to make sure its not being used to make propaganda.

No, but reform the CBC to be a government entity that is non-biased and provides basic factual independently verified news to all Canadians

Defund the CBC and remake into a model that maintains Canadian culture and provides accurate not partisan information.

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.

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

No, and we should ban the CBC.

Yes, as a national broadcaster it should be properly funded

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.

I think government funding to CBC should be redirected and have less government control over the press.

Why, just leave it have it is.

No, it has shown to be the largest spreader of disinformation in Canada. I would support abolishing the CBC and starting a new news company that will have to present both sides of an argument equally

Only if it is reformed from it's current state. If it cannot be made into a federated entity that better serves parts of Canada other than Toronto, it should be privatized and sold.

No, it's fine as it is

Yes, all parties should increase funding to any media outlet that deems suitable for the party in order to gain an advantage. Although the cbc is bias toward the liberal party, its no different than other media outlets that are bias towards the ucp and other parties.

No, the CBC currently has political biases that should be addressed first

CBC is a corporate propoganda machine, this question is irrelelevent because they would never get rid of it

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.

Same increase as all other government worker

Use it for propoganda

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

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.

Privatize the CBC as it is not an essential service

I think finding should remain the same, and a third party needs to review the entire organization for any biases. This is our national broadcaster…they don’t get to show biases between political parties. Their reporting should be neutral, and leave the social justice stuff to the other, private news agencies. I’m sorry but the national news site should not be allowed to have a view on any legislation. Sadly, CBC seems to always favour the left (even extreme left), and denounces the right

Only after an audit and assurance that broadcasters will be non-partisan and will only report the facts should the government increase funding

Neither increase or decrease

No because they are biased to begin with

No, not until they can become more relevant and less Liberal biased

Yes, but only after an audit and if they agree to have fairness and non-biased news.

good as is

No and eliminate funding! The CBC is a corrupt liberal mouthpiece for which Justin Trudeau expels his lies out to the Canadian people! Disgusting!

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

Don’t care.

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

Independent and unbiased journalism is essential. Corporate media is too biased and doesn't give us a full picture of what's happening in the world. I'd like to see more funding for this type of journalism in the CBC, and not more funding for the executives.

Maintain the current stance.

All sources of media should self-funded by their performance. This include social media. Donations, government funding or anything the like should not be legal. Propaganda and corruption at all levels of media sources is terrible for the overall well being of a nation

Leave it the same

No, and stay the same

This is a tough questions to answer due to limited transparency within the CBC, and the subsequent inability for the public to form an educated opinion.

Yes, but only after auditing and insurance that they will not exhibit any political beliefs and only report the facts, not opinion.

Sell the cbc

Funding should remain the same

Make Advertising the main source of income for CBC

Only if they can influence cost savings to the public

No because we all know already that CBC and all broadcasting in Canada is full or propaganda and no truthful reporting is actually done

Funding should be contingent on quantity and quality of Canadian-based programming; maybe increase the budget funding that programming.

No, the CBC should be disbanded.

No, keep funding the same

Maintain the same

Yes, and funding should be diverted to a non-partisan public broadcasting service, supplemented with viewer and corporate donations.

Yes and make the CBC commercial free

No, end the whole Heritage Ministry (CBC, CRTC) and Laws attached.

Yes, but only when it's important.

No, but the CBC should be a more balanced and less bipartisan entity.

I am unsure at this moment/ don’t have enough information to formulate an opinion

Yes, increase, but only after a review on bias.

Keep funding the same and require the CBC to be non-partisan and/or give fair voice to both the left and the right.

The current amount is sufficient

No, broadcasting stations will have a bias if they are government funded

I am satisficed with the system how it is.

leave it be
