This is not a political commentary; I'm just trying to point out some common sense.

I haven't watched the CBC for six years (cos I haven't lived in Canada for the last six years!) but in my previous 35 years of viewership the CBC has always leaned to the left when it's not obligated to sit on the fence.

The Fraser Institute's own admitted beliefs of competitive markets, lower taxes, and less regulation puts them firmly on the political right.

Hence the difference of opinion between the FI and the CBC.

I have rarely questioned the integrity of CBC news. Disagreed occasionally, yes. But I always try to consider all points of view, regardless of the source. That's how I learn.
