Mario Zelaya:(CBC) has been the recipient of a staggering $12billions

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) has been the recipient of a staggering $12 billion in funding over the past decade. Despite this substantial investment, the organization's performance raises several concerns. One of the most striking issues is the alarming number of high-earning employees, with over 1800 individuals drawing six-figure salaries. This includes an astonishing 8 Directors of Finance, 46 Directors for English services, and 40 Directors for French services.

What is even more perplexing is the lack of correlation between the CBC's enormous budget and its viewership. The numbers are dismal, to say the least. In the past, it was reported that nearly 98% of Canadians did not watch CBC News, and primetime news viewership had declined by a staggering 72%. Unfortunately, these numbers have only continued to plummet, raising valid questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the CBC's operations.

The recent forced resignation of Travis Dhanraj has also brought to light concerns about bias within the organization, further eroding public trust in the CBC's ability to provide impartial and balanced reporting. In light of these issues, it is puzzling that Mark Carney has seen fit to provide the CBC with an additional $150 million in funding, claiming that they are underfunded.

One cannot help but wonder how an organization with such a poor track record of performance and accountability can continue to receive such substantial financial support. The CBC's lack of transparency and apparent bias raise serious concerns about the responsible allocation of taxpayer dollars. As the Canadian public continues to foot the bill, it is imperative that the CBC is held accountable for its actions and is forced to re-examine its priorities and operational structure to ensure that it is truly serving the needs of Canadians.
