Records show that most of the Trudeau Liberals’ government departments have significantly increased the amount of ad space they’re purchasing from the CBC.
With private sponsors fleeing the state broadcaster, it appears the Trudeau Liberals have stepped in to fill the vacant ad space on CBC Radio and CBC Television, as well as the CBC’s website and their streaming service, CBC Gem.
Over the past five years, Steven Guilbeault’s Environment and Climate Change department (ECCC) has gone from spending nothing on CBC ads to over $300,000 in the most recent fiscal year showing data.
Notably, the Department of National Defence, which remains extremely short-staffed, went from spending nothing at all in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, to spending $25,470 in 2020-2021, and then to an explosive $833,460 in CBC ads the following year.
Furthermore, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) went from spending in the $100,000s in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, to $656,356 in 2021-2022 — albeit the department spent nothing the previous year, presumably due to COVID lockdowns.
Health Canada spent about $100,000 in 2018-2019, and $195,000 in 2019-2020 — but then ramped up ad spending during COVID to about $1.25 million over the next two years.
Via Rail has been consistent over the four years showing, though it spent the most in 2022-2023, at $497,987.
In 2021-2022, the Public Health Agency of Canada spent a whopping $20 million on COVID-19 prevention advertising.
The far-left CBC has been lambasted for its biased reporting, including from multiple former employees.
CBC President Catherine Tait has recently come out swinging against Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre after he called to defund the CBC and said it’s influenced by the Trudeau Liberals.
As documents revealed earlier this year, the CBC acknowledged that it has asked social media companies to censor users on numerous occasions — so many times, in fact, that cataloging all instances would be too time-consuming.
