Poll shows Canadian taxpayers are tired of funding CBC bonuses

The Truth About Springfield

Springfield, Ohio, a town of 50,000, saw 20,000 migrants from Haiti arrive, causing a culture shock. Locals reported pets like kittens and geese being stolen, cooked, and eaten. But is this true, or just Internet click-bait? We've sent David Menzies to find out.

The CBC used to be seen by some as one of the core tenets of Canadian identity, something that tied the country together. Now, year after year, its viewership falls, even as the Canadian population grows. The days of the CBC being an essential institution - if there even was such a time - are over. Yet it continues to be propped up by massive amounts of taxpayer dollars. We now have the data to prove that Canadians are sick of it.

On Wednesday night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Director of the Taxpayers Federation Franco Terrazzano joined Ezra Levant to discuss their latest poll showing that 7 in 10 Canadians oppose the state broadcaster (CBC) giving bonuses to its executives.

Terrazzano broke down the results of the poll, noting that the percentage of Canadians opposed to taxpayer-funded bonuses is closer to 81%, disregarding the category of "undecided."

He remarked:

"Remember folks, as you struggle to afford a package of ground beef or just to go to the gas station and fuel up, remember that the government is taking your money and giving it to the executives and manager at the CBC on your dime... Going back to 2015, the CBC's taxpayer-funded bonuses have cost you $132 million... They make you pay for their bonuses but they've never asked you if you support their bonuses."
