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.
