Hi John,

You can join the fight to defund the CBC.

That big government media corporation takes $1.4 billion per year from taxpayers like you. It gets dismal ratings with next to nobody watching its newscasts. CBC executives got big bonuses while hiring more managers to manage its managers.

It gets worse: Most of the mainstream media is being funded by the government, including the CBC.

Journalists should not be paid by the government. 

This is your chance to fight for a free press in Canada in order to hold the government to account.

Signing the petition to defund the CBC and cancel the government media funding is your first step to join that fight. 

By signing the petition, you’ll be the first to know when it’s time to take action to urge the government to defund the CBC and to stop government paying the media in Canada.

Will you sign the petition calling on the federal government to defund the CBC and end the government funding for the mainstream media?

I spent most of my life as a journalist working in newsrooms. I know “government funded media” is the opposite of a free press. That’s why we need to end the media bailout in Canada.
