Pierre Poilievre promises to 'defund the CBC' after $18.4M bonus amount revealed

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has renewed his promise to cut off funding to the public broadcaster if he’s elected prime minister next year.

The CBC/Radio-Canada board of directors recently approved over $18.4 million in bonuses for nearly 1,200 employees, managers and executives for the 2023-24 fiscal year after it eliminated hundreds of positions.

In response, Poilievre shared a post to X with the caption “Defund the CBC” with a link inviting his followers to a website calling on the Liberals to end subsidies to the state broadcaster.
