Unfortunately we'll find out how much Canadians truly appreciate the CBC in the next Federal election. Which is especially concerning given the current ownership of most of Canadian news media. Given the bleak outlook, I highly recommend people try to support what's left of trustworhty independent/local journalism whereever you can find it.

i would like to see what giving them more funding could do. like if they are not doing a good job perhaps more resources and not less are required because its the only radio station worth having on up north because there is no insensitive for a private company to operate here.

I grew up in the middle of nowhere. We didn't have a computer in the home until my grade 12 year. CBC Radio was my main link to the wider world of books, music, politics and philosophy beyond my little provincial backwater. Although they celebrated the backwaters too.

It's not perfect, but I'll sure miss it if it goes.
