Nanos Research poll (2015) shows strong support for CBC among Canadians:

89% of Canadians either agree (70%) or somewhat agree (19%) that it is more important than ever to have a strong and vibrant CBC. 

3% of Canadians somewhat disagree with the statement, while 7% disagree that a strong CBC is important for Canada. 

91% of Canadians also either agree (70%) or somewhat agree (21%) that the CBC plays an important role in strengthening Canadian culture and identity. 

6% of Canadians disagree that the CBC plays an important role in Canadian culture, while 2% somewhat disagree. 

Much blather here from the far-right who fear any media that is politically neutral and balanced.

The CBC's mandate is:

 "To inform, enlighten and entertain; to contribute to the development of a shared national consciousness and identity; to reflect the regional and cultural diversity of Canada; and to contribute to the development of Canadian talent and culture."

Get used to it.
