“Below market” you say! Maybe that’s because you’re not part of any “market”! Well, except the bizarre one in which the government completes against its own citizens. That “market”. The one which should be destroyed as a matter of freedom and democracy and moral principle.
CBC bonuses eyed despite layoffs
By ALTHIA RAJ, NATIONAL BUREAU
The Ottawa SunAs CBC prepares to lay off 800 employees this year, managers are still eligible for bonuses.
The 553 managers—or 5% of CBC’s overall workforce—are eligible for “incentive pay,” but only if they achieve targets, CBC president Hubert Lacroix told a committee of MPs studying the future of Canadian television.
[…]
Lacroix said bonuses are necessary because executive pay is “below market”…
Here’s a great sentence from the cnews.canoe.com (Sun Media) news report:
“…bonuses are based on targets such as “cost containment measures” and audience ratings, said CBC spokesman Marco Dube.”
Well OK if you insist:

Check this against any of the other 5,000 charts I’ve presented here at PTBC over the years to prove that the horrible, left-wing, socialism-reliant, state-owned, state-run media behemoth CBC is a total waste of taxpayer cash on a mammoth scale.
As I’ve said roughly 8,000 times before, state-owned and state-run media should be banned in this country, and that notion enshrined in our constitution.

The CBC is actually doing something right! Since their ratings are below market it’s only fair that executive compensation is as well!
