The CBC: How Canada’s Public Broadcaster Lost Its Voice (and How it Can Get it Back)
by David Cayley
Preface
This book goes to press at a moment when the election campaign of 2025 is still in progress and its outcome still uncertain. The Conervative Party has pleged to “defund” the CBC, excepting Radio Canada, and its leader, Pierre Poilievre, has even threatened to turn the CBC’s English language headquarters into a hoursing project. The Liberal Party has said it will increase funding to the CBC and “renew” its mandate. Both parties assume they know what the CBC is and what it’s for.
