CBC paying out millions in bonuses while laying off staff

About this episode

Canada’s state broadcaster, CBC, was whining about its budget while simultaneously paying out upwards of $15 million in bonuses in 2023, new documents reveal. News like this will make the call to defund CBC a much easier sell for Canadians, True North’s Andrew Lawton says. He discusses with Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano. Also, despite the RCMP making the explosive claim that drugs distributed through government “safe supply” programs are being diverted and sold by organized crime, British Columbia Premier David Eby says he’s yet to review any evidence of diversion. Plus, Margaret Atwood has weighed in on the Liberal government’s online harms bill, calling Bill C-63 “Orwellian.” The Liberals are using child protection as a shield for censorship. Andrew discusses with former CRTC vice-chair Peter Menzies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
