Suggest your own spending cuts, Carney government tells CBC, Via Rail and other Crown corporations

I seem to recall an election promise to increase the CBC's funding by $150m, so clearly Liberal voters weren't voting for a nearly $200m reduction.
Was just looking for that bit as I seem to recall the exact same fucking thing. Here it is. I'm starting to keep receipts.
The conservatives wanted to fully defund the CBC and unfortnately most of Canada has fallen into the two party trap. I'm not thrilled about the cuts but hopefully letting the corp decide what has to be cut is less harmful than it could be otherwise.
I'm confused. Are you saying that Carney doesn't have to keep any of his campaign promises, so long as he doesn't do things that are quite as bad as the hypothetical actions of the party we were told was an existential threat to Canada?
Apologies if that sounds rude, but I'm getting incredibly frustrated with folks who seem to want to give this government a pass on just about anything, even breaking their explicit campaign promises. Is this really how low the bar is now? If so, we're absolutely doomed.
I'd have agreed with your sentiment if Carney didn't promise increased funding during the election campaign. A promise that was important to me. Now this is some bullshit. It can't be shrugged off with the rest of the "operational efficiencies" which were suggested during the campaign, because there was explicit statement to the opposite.
"Well this shit sandwich sure is unpleasant, but at least it's fresh"
Apologetics for Carney only hurt us now. It's time to put pressure on the government.
