On November 23rd, 2010, Dean Del Mastro, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Heritage asked this question:
Do you think it's time that the Canadian government looks at it and says maybe it's time we get out of the broadcasting business?

He means kill the CBC.

The CBC asks a lot of questions

24 hours a day

seven days a week

over five time zones

in 10 languages

over four radio services
CBC Radio One
CBC Radio Two
Premiere Chaine
Espace musique

and two national TV networks
CBC Televison
Television de Radio-Canada

It has 36 English local morning radio shows

is online

and on your mobile device

All of this costs taxpayers less than 10 cents per person per day.

Is it money well spent?

No question.

  • I went to high school with Dean Del Mastro, and it is simply unbelievable that such a moron is a Member of Parliament.

  • @somewhatlongdong does he still sell cars? That business relationship makes him so qualified to speak about the CBC!

  • @cbcrallycall Yes, his other family members are taking care of it while he's amazingly a member of parliament.

  • Can you imagine the UK without the BBC? Me either. 

  • Checks & Balances. We need public, private and personal media sources.Only with that kind of diversity will we be able to have a true free unbiased press. With no CBC we have little to counter the commercial biases that occur with a purely private broadcasting system. With only government media, you risk too much government influence. We need both (the 3rd is the online and independents).

  • Honest to God, if they get rid of the CBC, Canada will have sunk to a new low. I honestly don't get it! Canada was one of the few countries to weather the financial crisis, and now they want to dismantle everything that made Canada great?? What is happening o my country?
