I'm fine with a federally funded broadcaster. Media in Canada (news and entertainment) has really nose-dived since private industry all amalgamated in the 2000s. It's not perfect, but it's not as bad as it could be. (that's kind of the Great Canadian Motto) Most newspapers are all copy/paste nationwide now, and the majority of TV production is handled by the people who own the medium into the house (cable/fibre/satellite), making "Canadian, eh!" versions of American culture and passing it off as CanCon. The CBC are out there at least trying to keep it real. Most of them, at least.
