The CBC is a sad catastrophe. The world and financial model in media is completely different but their mandate hasn't changed. It's not 2005 anymore. Harper did nothing to help, and Trudeau has been a complete failure here. Further, the Liberal policies on the media failed and in hindsight, we can see accelerated the collapse. Now half the country thinks it's all Trudeau funded propaganda and they have a point, since his policies actually pay to keep the remnants of the old world mainstream press in business. In practice this is enriching shareholders in Postmedia as the last drops of value are extracted from its miserable corpse, and providing funds to Bell who repurposes the money as they desperately try to recover from 2 decades of mismanagement.

I can only imagine what PP will do since we live in a world where policies and platforms are a sure fire way to lose an election, but not in my wildest fantasies do I foresee a reimagining of our public broadcaster by his government. What could possibly remain by 2030? To me, it's a lost cause so I'll focus my time and effort elsewhere.
