Fuck them for defunding CBC. They have too much value to lose to austerity.

Inflation (increasing production cost, hardware, licensing, salaries) and dwindling ad revenue was a double-whammy on their finance projection, and now they sadly have to adjust where layoffs are necessary.. :(

I mean, I get it, but I also don't think our federal broadcaster should have ever had to rely on ad dollars.

I wish they did manage to rely entirely on public funding...
