Should CBC television be dissolved?
No is should be diced and then served with a nice Chianti.
Much as I'd like to see the Liberal Party of Canada's state run television service taken off the air, it would become a cause celeb for the left wing martyrs that ascribe to their drivel.
What I would rather see is all federal funding for it dry up and have them make it on their own hook.
Once that happened it would either sink or swim and somehow I don't think a Television/Radio network that relies on propaganda for one specific political party and three money making programs, combined with alot of unwatchable, indescernible crap would survive.
Bye Bye CBC and it's unapologetic left leaning political bent. ![[laughat]](./images/smilies/smilie_auslachen.gif "laughing at")

Don't count those chickens before they hatch. The CBC isn't going anywhere. You folks are just having an ideological wet dream. You have to convince people of it first, and if this little poll is any microcosm of the general Canadian public opinion, it looks like you have a lot of convincing to do.
For a big change like the privatisation of CBC/Radio-Canada to occur, there has to be widespread public demand for it, and there just isn't.

Are you actually suggesting that Little Mosque on the Prairie is a tool of Canadian islamisation?
Yes.
$1:
Or do you just have some sort of prejudice against Muslims?
Muslims ? They all decide to what extent they follow their religion... I have meet some very nice Muslims, but they were nice 'cause they didn't care much about their religion (so basically they are cultural Muslims).
Now the fact that cool Muslims exist does not reduce my hostility towards Islam.
$1:
There are a lot of Muslims in Canada, so why shouldn't the Muslim-Canadian experience be fictionalised and presented to the public?
And now let's also have a Buddhist-Canadian, Hindu-Canadian, Sikh-Canadian, Scientologist-Canadian, Mormon-Canadian, Wicca-Canadian experience be fictionalised and presented to the public. Let's also have an episode where all these folks come together and dance hands-in-hands in a big circle around a fire of happiness and diversity.
Sorry I'm not a fan of multiculturalism.
That's fine. You're entitled to dislike any group of people you want to I guess.
However, there are quite a lot of Muslims in Canada now, and they pay taxes and contribute to society and the CBC belongs to all Canadians, not just white Christians. I've heard claims of liberal bias, but do you really think that CBC has some hidden Islamist agenda? That seems a bit far fetched if you ask me.
And in responce to :

Why not, if its as well done as Little Mosque---lets have it.

I agree with privatisation. I think CBC Radio has excellent programing (should talk less to the crazies sometimes). I'm not sure if there is a Libral bias (with Dion a Liberal bias menas saying the party won't form the government in 100 years rather then a million).
CBC televion though is a joke, the news is boring and irrelevent, there comedies are boring (Little Mosque ont he Prarie should focus on real religous conflict and not just sterotyping "White" culture), TV documentaries such as the Nature of Things and some Specials (Frankensteer) are an embarasement to Canadians and a state owned network should be prohibited from running them.

Ah crap, I don't care ! I don't accept the identity of this country to be changed because of immigration. If Canadians are too lazy to procreate and Muslims come here to fill the gaps, they can do their own stuff, but I don't want to see them take over my TV.

The deal with immigrants coming here is "you come here and pay for our expensive socialist system when we get too old to work, in return we get you out of your trashy country and let you do your little things alone" ; NOT "you come here and twist our society so it looks more like you".

The CBC is leftist, and like most of the leftist persons/intitutions nowdays, it loves everything that is anti-western. It turns out Islam is alien to us, so many leftists are attracted by it and become islamophiles, and therefore work to establish Islam more profoundly in Canada.
This bastard show has the objective to impose Islam as an integral part of Canadian society and culture, while it is not.

I'm not counting anything, given the unbelievable ability of the CBC as a left wing slanted propaganda machine funded by the taxpayers to stay alive.
What I am expecting is one of the Governments to wake up one morning and discover they're throwing money down the toilet all in the name of enabling Canadian culture which has been so overwhelmed by corporate America that 90% of Canadians don't even bother watching CBC with the exceptions of HNIC, RCAFarce and occasionally 22Minutes.
Of course it won't be a Liberal Government, but then again were likely not to see one of those in Stephan Dion's lifetime anyway.

The quickest way to get rid of the CBC is to fire the upper echelon and restaff it with center and Right wingers.
Maybe we could borrow Laura Ingraham or Michelle Malkin from Fox News for a year or two. Get the corporation on it's feet so to speak.
Then the farlefties would be screaming to dump it. It would be a pity because at that stage it probably would have become relevant.

Get it on it's feet by replacing one bias with another?

Yep, there is the conservative fix for everything, get Americans to take over.

I'd actually be willing to pitch that 90% of Canadians or maybe even more do watch the CBC, even if it's just for news, sports, or something else even once or twice a week.

There's nothing 'leftist' about not being bigoted. The Left is not Islamophile, it's just trying to be fair to people by not discriminating and trying to make them feel welcome. But as we saw with the court decision in Ontario (that's right, leftist Liberal Ontario), no one is willing to hand over Canadian sovereignty to a bunch of Muslims from the Middle-East.
However, there are more than enough people out there who are doing everything to ensure that our cultural sovereignty is handed over to a certain other group of foreigners (to the south), and those people are to be found primarily right of centre. As an institution with the promotion and preservation of Canadian cultural sovereignty as its raison d'être, perhaps that's why the CBC comes off to hardcore right-wingers as 'leftist'.
That's what's funny about Canadian politics. Here the nationalists and protectionists are found on the left, whereas in the US and in most European countries they're found on the right. The CBC is one of Canada's most nationalist institutions.

Oh, that is so cute.
I'v seen the trailers. Blasting Protestants. Bashing the "typical" white man. Blasting Canada.
If we need to bash ourselves to make the muzzies feel secure, perhaps we should review our policy of immigration and multiculturalism.

"No one" is willing ? The Muslims are willing. And everything you do to make them feel "confortable" and "at home" helps them getting closer to their goal.

And that's why as a Quebecer I don't identify with Canadian nationalism. It is basically anti-Americanism. But that's OT...
