The key point was that there was this sophistry in this letter that was suggested, where “We're supporting public broadcasting more than any other government in Canadian history.” And that would be true only if there were no such thing as inflation. So the people who received the letters saw through that, and what they're left with is an impression that there's a hidden situation.
In our poll, the Pollara poll, Pollara found that--and I didn't have time to quote it--52% of Canadians believe the Harper government is underfunding the CBC so that it can turn it into a private commercial broadcaster, 24% disagree, and 23% just don't know.
