The CBC is an incredible institution, you've clearly never heard their radio shows and free podcasts on a huge variety of subjects like science, art, music and informed news and political coverage, all without a corporate agenda, advertising or subversive means. For generations Canadians have grown up around the CBC: in many far north communities the CBC was often the only media available and to this day the CBC has huge popular support throughout the country. Say what you will about the CRTC and Canadian content rule: trust me, it's contentious in Canada and the discussion has been had for decades. So by all means, it's fine to disagree. The CBC is a whole different matter and you shouldn't neglect the power of an independent news and broadcast corporation in a democratic country and with a strong cultural and social connection. It's what the PBS could be with more funding and more community buy-in.
