    That was a comment on Anglo Canadian cultural habits in general, not just on that specific day.

    CBC has on average 4% market shares, R-C is at 23% if I recall correctly. Anglo Canadians complain about the lack of Canadian original content but at the same time they’ve been moving away from Canadian broadcasters for decades in favor of watching American broadcasts while French Canadians punch way above their weight when looking at the amount of content they produce for how little of the North American population they represent.

    The result is what we’re seeing now, CBC cutting one of their major show because they don’t have the revenue necessary to produce it while the government has been cutting their funds for decades because most MPs don’t understand the point of having a public broadcaster that guarantees access to local culture.
