I am shedding no tears either. I can hardly wait until Poilievre is PM so that he can finally do something about the CBC. I've heard differing stories about what he's going to do so I need to keep my expectations in check but I'm hoping he does at least a major housecleaning so that it is run by sensible people instead of wokesters. The current bunch can even bring themselves to call Hamas fighters terrorists. A full defunding/privatization may be too much to hope for but I'll be very happy if he does that. He also absolutely has to ditch the $600 million/year subsidy to the mainstream media and start treating the smaller independent operations as terrorists. Trudeau's treatment of Rebel News has been disgraceful. -- Rhino
