Part of me wants that . But it ' s good to remember a person you lost . <| sep |> subsidizing their competition the CBCSorry , to be clear , these taxes aren ' t to subsidize the CBC they ' re being taxes because they ' re corporations within Canada . The CBC is or functionally should be a nonprofit run through the Canadian government , and it serves a social purpose in that it provides news and educational programing , free , to a wide range of Canadians who aren ' t in urban areas . I think what you ' re saying is that you don ' t like that corporations are taxed , and also distinctly you don ' t like how those taxes are being used . The BBC modelis a solid example of statesponsored media , and I wouldn ' t reach to Prison Island ' s methods to prove a Canadian point . NHK modelis a much better example , in that it focuses on funding themselves through licensing fees that said , they ' re exceptionally well known for engaging in statesanctioned revisioning of Japan ' s history . I don ' t think people realize how beneficial the CBC ' s distance from the state has been it ' s distinct enough from the BBC and NHK models , for example , to allow fair and critical examinations of Canada overall .
