CBC actually rents most of its office space now, including the new building in Montreal, it doesn’t own the building. Which complicates things about leasing the space to other businesses or modifying the lease agreement depending on their financial situation in a short timeframe.
I wouldn’t trust high priced talent of any kind … public or private … because they don’t care what happens to any institution public or private - they’ll always just go to the highest bidder.
Whereas if you have more moderately paid talent … you have more individuals working and competing inside their organization. It would never be a utopia and there would still be lots of headaches and stupidity … but I’d rather put my trust in 20 people rather than 1 person who is working for top dollar.
I would rather place my bets on ten potential talents … than on one sure bet that could easily just sabotage everything and everyone to make a bit more money.
Every talent comes from somewhere and seeding those chances are liable to spring new talent more often than in endlessly holding onto one overly hyped talent that we’re made to believe is irreplaceable

If you only go after unknowns that want to live in a remote community then all talent will go to the private sector
If you list salaries more people will call for defunding
Which further lowers quality
You saw the same thing with Post Media claiming CBC has tons of expensive real estate but they didn’t list their own holdings

The 10 of those 20 worth having will be bought out and you’ll be stuck with the 10 not worth having
And with them goes their audience
