Defending the CBC
On January 25th, 2025, one of our members, Judi Milne, received this written response from Conservative MP Rick Perkins, MP for South Shore-St. Margarets, Nova Scotia. Judi had written to ask for his party’s position on the CBC. The Conservatives have been clear in their intentions to defund the CBC. Judi shared Perkins’ letter with the PNA and our National President Dan Oldfield has given a point-by-point rebuttal. Feel free to share this.
