      I’m not defending the cuts, i said i wasn’t thrilled about it. If cuts are happening, at least the cbc decides what is cut.

        You’re defending the promise being broken by saying it’s no big deal/could be worse.

        This is a 15% cut to the CBC. Do you think that what normally happens is that Mark Carney goes in and starts randomly firing people? Of course not. The budget gets cut and the CBC has to figure out what to do next.

        The only reason this is being said ahead of time, IMO: the Liberals don’t want to unveil all their devastating cuts in a single budget bill, because the outrage would be incandescent, so they’re dropping a new bombshell every week to keep Canadians on their back foot.

        None of these cuts are necessary!
