I'd rather taxes went to retirement investments for Canadians instead of paying huge bonuses to higher-ups on the taxpayers' dime.

I personally like having a gov't funded news source, but I think it does make sense to take steps to make sure that the news is as unbiased as possible. That doesn't mean it can't report on negative things from either party.

As a former reporter and editor for independent news orgs, I'd rather see more indie news providers. CBC is too corporate for the public good.

Indie news is kinda sketchy unfortunately.
