Sure, I’m all for increasing funding to the CBC. Just complaining about how neoliberals do everything. If the minister wants to increase funding to the CBC, say it in the press release. If she doesn’t, say it. This cagey say-nothing fluff is bullshit and people should find it offensive.
It had been said before… Like a month ago. And how can they promise anything when parliament is prorouged? There’s a limit to what the federal government can and cannot do without parliament right now.
It was what she wanted to SEE. Very clearly messaging towards people to not vote conservative aka the party that wants to completely dismantle it. Why are you getting so worked up over this lol
I’m not particularly worked up, I’m only responding because you’re continuing to bring it up. My whole problem is that what she wants people to see doesn’t actually tell anyone her plan. She has a plan, someone else posted her talking more openly about it. Her press release doesn’t actually say what it is, just reassures people without making any even vague commitments. I find that irritating. Honestly I think you should too. It’s one of the most transparent ways politicians try to avoid accountability.

Here is a video of current Liberal heritage minister Pascale St-Onge saying she wants to change the funding formula and bring per capita funding up to the G7 average, up to $62/person, doubling it. Relevant part starts around 1 minute in.
It remains to be seen whether Mark Carney will be receptive to this.

Not everything is a “NeOLIbeRaLs” problem.
Then don’t release a press release and a plan? Your comment doesn’t make sense in context.
