Way ahead of you. Good plan. Trouble is they don't care if we watch or not.

I stopped watching CBC years ago, but as long as the CBC keeps receiving their money from the government, they don't care if we watch or not.

Especially when they get their money from us no matter what.

I boycotted CBC a long time ago. But I’m a firm believer we should boycott BC. I wouldn’t buy a toothpick in your province...

Boy, you really stepped in it now Sea Level.

Me, I'm going to boycott boycotters. Most dont have a clue, they're just followers.

100% with you. Cancelled my annual BC motorcycle trip this year. Not planning on spending a nickel there until the oil starts flowing.

And the impact is about the equivalent to you not buying a tooth pick from BC.

Boycott it? .......... The CBC should be removed from the gov't teet and shut down.

It's hard to choke down the fact that our tax $$ go towards this CBC who's unwritten mandate is to constantly spew left wing barf to the masses. You can largely thank the CBC for the last federal election results.

Boycotting would only work if they were a private entity that relied on sponsorship and advertising money. The CBC survives on government welfare, and will continue to do as they please as they are not held accountable. (I very rarely watch it aside from the occasional hockey game)
