They have some of the finest journalism in the world. CBC Ideas, The Nature of Things, Quirks and Quarks, Canada Reads, CBC Music, The Current, The Fith Estate, Cross Country Checkup, The National, Day6, CBC Sports for coverage of all our real atheletes and not Just US pro sports.

Then there is the production of shows like This Hour has 22 minutes, The Degrassi series, Schitts Creek, Heartland, The Murdoch Mysteries, The Red Green Show, Anne with an E, Dragons Den, Kim's Convenience, Road to Avonlea, SCTV, and lots more.

Then there is the mandate for local and regional coverage the privates won't touch or actively retreated from, let alone indigenous communities.

What you call sucking up to the liberals, I call defending Canada from Conservatives who would have all media funded by the rich as the only voice, then a US voice as they attempt to convert us into the 51st state.
