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

Why, just leave it have it is.

Yes, as a national broadcaster it should be properly funded

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.

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, their funding should be set in the charter, and a large consensus must be reached to change. Public media is critical but should be wholly non-partisan.

No, their funding should be set in the charter and require a large consensus to change. Public media is critical, but should be wholly non-partisan.

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

Use it for propoganda

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

Reform to have an unbiased news source

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

doesn’t matter to me

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

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, 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.

Leave it the same

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

Only if they can influence cost savings to the public

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

Maintain the same

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

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

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

Yes, but with reforms and promise to cover local communities

Depends on the need for funding and how it will be applied.

Review their funding and order them to remove anchors who are biased and then increase funding only if they are made independent

Only for CBC Radio. CBC Television repeatedly fails to meet its mandate and is now no longer available OTA. CBC Television should be defunded entirely and the staffs required to take a pay cut and apologize to the Canadian public.

The CBC needs to prove that it’s still relevant before we talk about funding

all media conglomerates should work on their profits, not government funding.

either leave the funding at the amount it is at or increase it by a small amount.

Regardless, CBC needs to become more useful before more funding is introduced

No, keep the funding the same

The government should not be funding any media due to recent conflicts of interest.

No, and privatize it

Keep funding with emphasis on children

Yes, but reformulated the objectives towards canadians communities.

Not to sure

Yes, but only when we ensure that they are reporting just the facts and are bias free and non-partisan and do not engage in personal politics.

Yes, I think it’s important to have writers and proper news. To much fake news out there.

CBC has some dumb takes but I agree we should have a national neutral news organization

Yes, but require them to be non-partisan and only report the facts, not the opinion and as long as they remain impartial and report what the government believes is the right news.

maintain at current levels

No, there are better things to fund.

This isn’t a huge issue

Yes, as long as they remain non-partisan and only report news not personal opinions. It should be illegal for them to disclose their political affiliation on-air.

No, abolish the CBC because they are biased and politically active.

Yes but ensure reporters are not biased and will report with accuracy

Yes.. and Canadians should be much more supportive of it, and our Arts in general. We have world class productions, gaining international recognition .. there is much return on investment, but We, as Canadians must be supportive of it...for in the world eye, looking in on us, if we continue to balk at it, have our typical low self esteem and overtly critical attitude, this behaviour hurts our image internationally, as well as shies away investment from richer more powerful nations. Canadians have a particular problem with investing money and time and effort into things. They are so quick to want the cheap option.. to demolish instead of repair. etc.

No. The CBC has morphed into CNN... a glaringly partizan propaganda arm of Neo-Liberal Left.

What would this even do

Yes, and use it to provide French content to English Canadians and English content to French Canadians to increase bilingualism, exposure to the opposing culture, and cohesion

I feel that the CBC has become too bias in favour of the left, and until it can become more neutral, I don't feel strong about promoting them.

Yes, make it non-profit and add a Ministry of Broadcasting, Information and Entertainment. But ensure the CBC has no political bias before committing to this.

Yes, but the CBC should be barred from running advertisements.

No, and eliminate funding because CBC is bought by the Chinese government and is spreading false information and Chinese Propaganda.

Keep it as is for now.

No, it's fine where its at

Who cares really most people don't watch it under the age of 25 we get our news from Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

good where it is

Not necessarily, but a national public news outlet that is adequately funded is important

Yes, but only for Radio (relevant for more remote areas) and not TV

I am satisfied with the amount of spending

It should stay the same

Yes, but only for certain educational and/or research programs

yes but mandate better and more accurate reporting and increase regulation of the broadcasting to remove falsehoods. basicly ban fox news and the murdoch media from canada

Funding to remain the same

Yes, but not significantly

No, but maintain enough funding for the CBC to function as it does now

Yes, but only after they eliminate personal political opinions and only report what the government wants them to report. We should nationalize all news networks.

its fine i guess

The funding is good where it is

No, we should dissolve the CBC as it is so biased against people of differing viewpoints and has shown to be fake news and the CBC is irrelevant.

Increase funding, but strictly enforce absolute political neutrality with zero editorializ8ng or opinions.
