The dangers of defunding CBC include denying 80% of the population local news, 95,000 hours of local news radio programming and 45,000 hours of Canadian TV content. It means denying tens of thousands of independent producers, creators, musicians, performers and technicians their livelihood. It means denying the north access to each other and to the south. It means denying French minority communities their connection to their language. It means cutting at least 3,500 jobs.
