The CBC wasn’t born from a left-wing agenda—it was created by Conservatives.
In 1932, Prime Minister R.B. Bennett’s government established the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission, which became the CBC in 1936. Their goal? To protect Canadian culture from U.S. media dominance and ensure a national voice for all Canadians.
Today, that legacy is under threat—from the very party that founded it.
Public broadcasting like the CBC is essential to our democracy. It provides independent journalism, diverse voices, and a platform for Canadian stories.
Let’s honour its origins by defending its future.
