There is a federal election on the horizon, and the future of the CBC is on the ballot.
Following decades of underfunding and institutional neglect from governments of all political stripes, our national public broadcaster now finds itself in the crosshairs of Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives, who are threatening to demolish it right down to the studs.
But the CBC doesn’t belong to them. It belongs to us, the Canadian public, and it’s time we put our foot down.
We won’t stand for vague promises, and we certainly won’t tolerate threats. Tell the five party leaders that if they want to win your vote, they must take a firm stance in support of the CBC.
