Reform the Board: Let’s Get Politics out of CBC Governance!

For too long, friends and supporters of the government-in-power have been appointed to oversee and govern our CBC. Stephen Harper abused this power to an unprecedented extent. Today, 7 of 9 members of the CBC Board are or have been donors to the Conservative Party. Harper has ensured his hostile agenda will live on by appointing some Board members to serve until 2020, the year after the next election.

Only the best and brightest Canadians should govern our CBC, not political hacks and cronies appointed by the Prime Minister. Prime Minister Trudeau is on record that these kinds of appointments are “unacceptable”. On September 22, 2015 he promised that:

“the process for CBC/Radio-Canada Board of Directors appointments must be reviewed, to ensure merit-based and independent appointments.”

Now is an ideal time to press for reform! 

Please sign the petition to help get politics out of CBC Governance.
