I grew up listening to CBC radio one and two, and learned so much from the excellent shows, felt proud of our accomplishments brought to me daily by the excellent reporters and hosts. Shows were interesting and engaging, funny and heartbreaking. CBC was my constant companion and always the first button on the radio speed dial. I would occasionally even stay up way to late to catch the CBC overnight which featured shows from around the world, which gave me an understanding of the wider world. THEN it all started to head down the tubes. I cannot say when it happened, but slowly the old trusted hosts were replaced with a new generation, the shows cancelled or watered down and the focus moved from the majority to the minority. Now CBC is a battering ram for the WokeWaffen SS and I refuse to Listen anymore. They have poisoned the well, as it were, and driven off the majority of Canadians for a small woke minority who don't even bother to listen to radio anymore, if they ever did. I use to be a staunch supporter of the CBC as I believed that it Did represent a "Canadian" way of looking at things, and that they did represent "Us" in a collective sense through our stories, news, triumphs and tragedies. Now however I do not support the CBC and see it as a giant waste of money. Rather than "cancel' it though, If I were King, I would flush out all the BS (and useless nepotistic appointments) and get it back to core principals of representing the majority if Canadians, actual journalism with all sides of the stories and can the woke agenda.

They do a better job than any counter movement possible could We gave let them have ALL THEY WANT - FILL YOUR BOOTS style with policy etc and it's all collapsing in on itself at record speed, especially since about a century of careful painstaking planning went into it all and we have only really just started to take interest in the past decade and on mass since they started acting as Dictators. Someone needs to tell them that what Joe Rogan's DMT crowd call "machine elves' are DEMONS and that is who runs our 'elite' and 'royalty' since inception. It's all so 'impressive' when you're selected and boosted by a disembodied entity that strokes your ego and fast tracks your worldly 'success'...for a time. It's all so exciting - but they don't tell you it has an expiry date, and the courting period soon goes from stroking/boosting to demands, then threats and terrorizing them and in turn us. I feel sorry for ALL the 'elite' DUPES and everyone down the line, right to us regular people. Seems an impossible situation that has no resolution and then I remember that God KNOWS what he's doing. He's USING this evil as a LESSON and a form of FRICTION to make us all righteous once again - to being his children again in our relative purity - manifesting our TRUE YEARING for Freedom, Peace, Love, Joy and Creativity - which is really ALL anyone wants - once the programming is put aside.... And putting aside ALL THAT IS FAKE (like fake news) is what is taking place - ORGANICALLY and in a way and at a pace that EVERYONE can understand, directly and EXPERIENTIALLY. God is in control, has a great sense of humour and justice and is going to see to it that HEAVEN on Earth is restored through our AWAKENING to WHAT TRULY MATTERS beyond all the artificial projections/distractions. We are being brought BACK to our TRUE selves, all of us in different ways - on either side and the role of evil and good - mater not. He USES evil to get good to be good and then turn evil to good - and we all rejoice together in the end because we will ALL CHOOSE GOOD - in the recognition that evil was a mirage, a false projection ONTO Creation and left behind forevermore!

Nothing was scrambled then and one of the first networks we received was the CBC. You are right; many of the shows weren't that good, but we had small children and found a CBC show we all really liked, "Wind At My Back".

Great video and totally analogous to the ABC here in Australia. I think that the lack of trust in the media and particularly institutions like the CBC and ABC is driven by a critical mass of activists, not journalists or content creaters, who are attracted to (and self selected by) these institutions. The trust erodes when the majority of content reflects their left-wing biases, either by infusing opinion in the programming or by omission where newsworthy events that may "harm their side" is not reported. It cannot be helped as the "activism" is manifest in every fibre of their being and also seen as morally virtuous. Trust further erodes when alternative media sources that you turn to are then attacked ad hominin by the very same institutions that are bleeding viewers.

Ultimately organization's like the CBC and ABC cannot be anything but the propaganda arms of their respective governments, even if they are in theory independent. This is because their finances are ultimately controlled by those governments, for example, the UK's BBC is funded by mandatory television licences. If you want television in the UK you effectively have to pay a subscription to the BBC. This creates 2 consequences, first the BBC does not have to serve its consumers, in the sense of broadcasting programming that paying customers want to watch, because those customers have to pay in order to access other company's programming. Secondly, and more importantly, it means that the British government, even if it lacks any de jure authority over the BBC, can kill the BBC any time they wish, by simply repealing the law requiring said television licenses, thus depriving the BBC of its funding. This means that even without any de jure authority, the British government is the de facto master of the BBC, as the BBC knows it cannot survive opposing them. The BBC must tow the line to appease the British government.

[@RoryMitchell00]

You really hit the nail on the head by noting the importance of "omission" of news stories and events. To that I will also add the way the CBC chooses to frame stories they do report. For example, back when Hulk Hogan was suing Gawker, the CBC did choose to report on the story. However, their framing for it was to present Peter Thiel - the man funding the lawsuit - as a frightening "Svengali"-like figure with an axe to grind against Gawker. I asked myself why they never ran a story talking about how asking for legal redress had gotten so out of the reach of a normal person, that even an extremely wealthy and famous person like Hulk Hogan had to ask for help from a man with the wealth of a small nation, just to proceed with a lawsuit to protect his privacy and reputation. That would be an angle that "served the public interest". Instead, the CBC ran with a story angle that served their own interests. Whenever the mainstream media is criticized, they circle the wagons and never admit to any mistakes, and that quickly erodes any trust or good will that remains in their audience. Anyways, like you said, it's often what is _missing_ that is even more important than what is actually there, and the CBC has gaping chasms of important content that they will not touch, simply because it does not serve their own interests (i.e. activism).

They shared the same mailing address as the CBC Northern Service, which beamed network programming to areas that were sparsely populated and had no local radio stations (for us south-of-the-border listeners who were not the target audience but were still able to tune in, this was our only exposure to Canadian domestic fare, as they often rebroadcast the audio portion of TV shows, too). Apparently, people writing in would get confused and assume that RCI and the CBCNS were one and the same. This prompted the RCI announcers to repeat _ad nauseum_ on the air that while they were housed in the same building, RCI and the CBCNS were entirely separate facilities, so when writing to one or the other please specify in the address which service you were writing to. They could not stress enough that they had nothing to do with each other. I got to see what the RCI logo looked like in my return correspondence. It was a cleverly designed depiction of a transmitting tower with concentric circles radiating out of it but contained within the outline of a maple leaf. Despite all their protestations, guess what? That beautiful logo was soon replaced with the ugly CBC logo. Separate, indeed.🤣

As a kid growing up on the east coast I never made it past the first period before I fell asleep. Now The Nature Of Things, Dave Suzuki was my child hood hero. I moved to Vancouver and worked construction. We were working in Kitsilano directly across the street from his house. One fine beautiful Vancouver morning I spotted Dave taking out the garbage so I took the opportunity to cross the street to meet my childhood hero. I walked up to him to say hi and held my hand out and he in return told me to Fu k off. I'm still tore up to this very day.

[@asiastormy8728]

It is sad to hear what is or has happened to Canada. It has been cut down to producing and supporting dry sterile entertainment steeped in cultural wokism and playing it 'safe' and pushing 'the political narrative'. Just like many other parts of the world, including my Singapore. As a person of 60, my growing-up years was heavily influenced 99.9% of the time by the West. USA's TV, movies and music entertainment has always been such a beautiful vibrant spectrum. Always fresh and always something for everyone. It was a time of experimentation and creativity was the order of the day. I can relate so closely to you given our age and shared love for a lot of cartoons, animation, graphic design, technology, PC ( yes I did follow some of your content in the earlier years when you did a lot of computer tech) comics, movie taste and likely music too. It was to such an extent someone who spend time with me from the USA or the West, they would think talking to this Asian Man, I was someone born and lived in the States and not someone from Singapore who saw the world and learn to embrace the best of what it can offer especially the West. In the last decade, freedom is no longer true to its definition. It's almost lifeless, boring, UNIMAGINATIVE, Uncreative ... damn, I could think of many negative words to add but you get my point and I do not want to feel more sad than I need to upon reflecting. The 'well' has just about dry up in 2023 culturally. What surprise me even more is how FAST Canada has sped up toward this WOKE nightmare passed the US.

[@416dl]

For many years I drove between Alaska and the US midwest and had always looked forward to finding a few CBC programs that I particularly loved while dreading a few that I found boring and cringe-worthy...though the last few years I'd pretty much given up searching for anything worth listening to and I'm sure you know why; no matter what the subject matter of the news item it would invariably castigate and chastise the listener for the patriarchy, colonialism, and climate. On the few occasions when I would tune in it became a game to see how many minutes it would be before those 3 shiboleths would be broached....sometimes it wouldn't even take that long.

Canada is a vast country with a lot of remote communities and your link to the rest of the world was often through the CBC (either TV or radio). The question is how do you re-invigorate the CBC and update that mandate in the current digital and media environment we now exist in? I am not sure if it is possible to be honest.
