The lower the funding for the CBC, the more at risk of losing our jobs we are. There’s a hidden premise that as CBC funding decreases, right wing propaganda increases to fill the voids, which leads to more unemployment and depressed wages long-term. So counterintuitively, more money to the CBC should derisk our jobs. Up to a point of course. 🥹
I could see someone making that argument years ago. But now? Are you not paying attention to how important media that is less influenced by profit motive is right now?

Fox news is at the root of the the American Rot.
Poilievre is literally taking questions from Rebel News now and calling to fund far-right garbage.
You know how the government can create jobs?
By funding things that require employees.
