Why Pierre Poilievre has suddenly gone silent on defunding the CBC
PP wants to destroy CBC completely and force us to be reliant on american-owned Postmedia, Sun Media, Saltwire Network instead!
during a rally in Hamilton he referenced transforming the broadcaster’s headquarters into housing stock
Lol He's done it, guys. He's solved the housing crisis.
They'd still defund, but now that it's unpopular he won't talk about it.
Exactly, never assume silence is because they have changed their minds. They only just discovered it doesn't play well in polling and are avoiding the topic. Unless they actively say they have changed their mind, they haven't (and even then be skeptical). Ontario learned this the hard way several times in a row.

Conservatives hide what they want to do behind walls of crap and misinformation. Silence on this issue speaks for itself. He'd gut the CBC along with everything else the wealth class tells him to gut.
They can hide and be silent all day, but defunding (reduce public funding) of the CBC is CPC policy declaration N.137. Further, using their argument that the CBC must not compete with private companies is a great reason to shut down news coverage or anything else they find annoying or inconvenient.
