    Canada needs a strong public broadcaster. Conservatives hate the CBC because it isn’t owned by a foreign billionaire and doesn’t spew extremist right wing propaganda.

      The past few years the CBC has been leaning harder right but I think that they may have been trying to butter up the conservatives because of the, then, impending conservative win. There has been a lot of anti-electric car and anti-heat pump pieces in the past 2 years.

        I don’t think they are anti electric calls… I think they just honestly report the facts, they will state the electric cars really do struggle in our winters. Battery’s runout and the charging grid isn’t there yet, they definately don’t say anything that’s “anti ev” but they will state the truth: if you’re buying a new car TODAY, depending on your driving habits, an EV in Canada, just isn’t really viable ATM, give it 5 years
