Documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation;
… show the CBC spent more than $51 million in bonuses and pay raises during the years 2020 and 2021.
In unrelated news, CBC went cap in hand to the government and came back with a 10-gallon hat full of cash.
The federal fiscal update delivered another “$42 million to help CBC recover from the pandemic,” according to the National Post.
In Budget 2021, the Trudeau government gave the CBC an extra $21 million to “ensure its stability during the pandemic.”
This extra money is on top of the annual funding the corporation already gets from government.
Taxpayers pay about $1.2 billion per year for the CBC.That amount could instead pay the salaries of more than 13,000 nurses. It could cover the grocery bills for 100,000 families. What we pay for the CBC equals the annual income taxes for the population of Nanaimo.
Dean Skoreyko – The bloated government news division: “The CBC has 143 directors. Each of these directors receives an average salary of $130,906, costing the taxpayer $18.7 million per year.”
$1.2 billion for a news agency and channel no one watches.
We need Romanians.
Justin has a plan to solve that!

And the Romanians had a plan for Ceausescu.
How can one look at the broadcast and tv ratings?
They, the media cartel likes to hide the ratings from public eye.

IT’S NICE TO BE KING
“Janice Charette, clerk of the privy council, essentially Trudeau’s top bureaucratic lieutenant,
claims they were justified based on how the government felt about the situation rather
than meeting the test set out in law.”

Do you think she’d have a better feeling if she helped me make some house payments?
A New Year’s wish.
Closer to $1.5B from various government pockets.
If they went to a subscription model each viewer would pay $1000. I feel that the CBC management could make it work. Note: that is each viewer, not each household.
That joint of socialists/fascists needs to be defunded.
The joint points to others that make a lot of money actually creating stuff and paying taxes.
They run interference to avoid pointing to their other people’s money scam.
The PRAVDA of communist fame never had it so good.
Same shit, different pile.
The corrupt Liberals protect the corrupt CBC, the corrupt CBC protects the corrupt Liberals.
The same goes for public sector unions in general.
It’s well past due to cut the CBC loose.
Government and Crown Corporations expect bonuses. They don’t care about actually earning them.
“We are entitled to our entitlements”.
This proportion of society has long passed the point at which productive society can afford their cost..
Jamestown comes to mind.
Why not just sell it to Elon for a dollar? (Canadian)
As I read this I think. Why bother at all. Nothing changes. We voted in Shit Head to get rid of the CBC. Why bother. We have been a communist country since 1963. Until we send all the communists to the gallows nothing will change.

“ I want a new country”
I want the country I was born in. Not the processed cheese Liberal version.
It would be easier to start a new country out of the prairie provinces and most of BC than to elect the kind of politicians that would shut down the LPC / NDP/ G Ministry of Propaganda.
DINGDINGDINGDINGDING!!!
We have a winnah!
Reminds me of:

We had it in our grasp – we were right there but we let it slip through our hands. Harper folded like a cheap tent because he wanted to be one of the cool kids not to mention possessing that special brand of squishy Canadian conservatism that makes you believe you can be friendly with those who hate you with every fibre of their being. What a chump.
So now we have to eat the shit sandwich we helped build. Danielle Smith for PM!!! Cause I gotta tell ya I’m not getting the warm and fuzzies from Poilievre.
” Cause I gotta tell ya I’m not getting the warm and fuzzies from Poilievre.”
Yup…what sort of pressure is being brought to bear?
What sort of pressure? Oh, the usual crap: their advisors (poli-sci grads) urging him not to “go negative; the cowardice that kept the entire CPC caucus silent for 22 months as our rights were trampled and our country ruined … and the fact that the silence makes them complicit with turdo et al; and last but not least, a quaking fear of the media.
Face you deserve.
Watch John Goodman in a $1200 dress testify, lie and collude.
YouTube “Did Cabinet know CSIS definition of national security threat wasnt met? Government witness can’t say”
It is almost unwatchable and you will break things handy so clear an area.

“We are being taken for fools”
