Show Notes

We take a deep dive into the CBC to tell you how much the state broadcaster is costing you and what it’s spending YOUR money on.

The CBC’s ratings are plummeting, it costs Canadians more than $1.4 Billion this year, and it’s STILL handing out big bonuses.

The CBC has handed out $132 million in bonuses since 2015, and THIS YEAR, it’s awarding $18.4 million in bonuses this year.

Also: What would Leader of the Opposition Pierre Poilievre do about CBC bonuses if he were prime minister? Franco has his answer!
