00:00:00.000 There is no reason why the federal government needs to fund journalism, and it should be absolutely illegal for them to announce these changes and this funding in the middle of the campaign.
00:00:09.600 They are literally bribing the people whose job it is to hold them accountable during the election for all to see.
00:00:15.740 So first, Mark Carney, over the weekend on Friday, he pledged $150 million, you guessed it, to the CBC.
00:00:21.740 He said that they were underfunded.
00:00:23.740 Can you believe it?
00:00:24.620 The CBC gets $1.2 billion a year from taxpayers.
00:00:28.640 Part of the reason they get that much money is because back in 2015, the first time Justin
00:00:33.240 Trudeau was getting elected, he bribed the CBC with more money. That's part of the reason why
00:00:38.080 he won the election. And he gave them huge amounts of money for the positive coverage that he got.
00:00:43.960 The CBC did their duty and covered for Justin Trudeau time and time again during his time
00:00:48.980 as prime ministership. It is an absolute disgrace and a disservice to Canadians that this is
00:00:54.260 happening mark carney playing from the same playbook unbelievable here he is speaking in
00:00:58.740 montreal talking about his love of the cbc and why it deserves more of our money if elected my
00:01:05.760 government will take action to enshrine and protect and strengthen cbc radio canada for
00:01:12.920 generations to come when it comes to this most important of canadian institutions all canadians
00:01:19.200 should have their say. Not just a small group. We will not only increase CBC Radio Canada's
00:01:26.420 funding by $150 million, but we will also make this funding statutory, meaning that Parliament
00:01:33.160 as a whole will need to approve any future changes to its funding, not just the Cabinet.
00:01:39.600 Unbelievable. So Mark Carney is trying to make it so that even if Pierre Polyev wins in the future,
00:01:45.100 he won't be able to defund the CBC as promised. Canadians need to speak up. This is an absolute
00:01:50.840 disgrace. They should not get to do this. The CBC is a hard left media organization. They push
00:01:56.900 an agenda. It is bad for Canada. It's bad for Canadians. And the fact that the Liberals are
00:02:01.180 openly bribing them during an election, again, I believe it should be criminal.
