Poilievre Walks Back CBC Defunding Timeline Amid Shifting Polls

📝 DESCRIPTION
Poilievre defund CBC promise is now under intense scrutiny after the Conservative leader unexpectedly walked back his timeline. In a major shift, Pierre Poilievre told the National Post he has “no timeframe” for defunding the CBC—despite pledging rapid action just months ago. This comes as the Liberals, under Mark Carney, take a 6-point lead in the polls, raising questions about whether Poilievre’s stance is a strategic pivot or a broken promise. The $1.4 billion taxpayer-funded broadcaster has long been a target of conservative criticism, especially for executive bonuses and alleged bias. Poilievre had promised to turn the CBC’s English service into a self-funded non-profit while preserving funding for Radio-Canada. Now, with no clear timeline and a tightening race, voters are left wondering: Is Poilievre backing down from one of his signature pledges? Watch this breakdown of what’s really going on—and what it means for the future of Canadian media and politics.
