Harper took on the CBC...cut it to pieces.
The CBC uncovered multiple scandals under the CONS while in office.
There journalists are top notch and we owe them a dept of gratitude for uncovering government corruption. ie The Senate, Duffy, Election Fraud. Six deficits. the list is endless.
Crown corporations, (especially the CBC) require "arms length" government interference.                    Full funding, but I think an annual audit by the Auditor General.                                                            Remember the CBC board of directors are mostly all Harper appointees.
Good bye Maxime
