If any organization really wanted to … no matter how big or complex they are … they should be capable of simplifying their profits, costs and expenses in a clear concise way. I shouldn’t have to scroll through pages of financial charts to try to interpret for myself where and why the money went and came from. Financial data and political language has turned into a game that is only spoken and understood by a small group of people and everyone else told they are incapable of understanding and should only trust what they are told.
I’m Indigenous and I know from the outside what government bureaucracy sounds like and what kind of language they speak. On one side, they’ll say they know what they are doing and to trust them … then on the other tell you that you don’t know what you are talking about when you question them.
There is any easy answer to this and easy response … it just isn’t given which is why there is so much suspicion and animosity towards the CBC. If the proponents of the CBC can’t be clear, honest and respectful of dialogue … how do you expect anyone to support them in the public space? Or maybe that was the plan all along … to just seed distrust and let the public themselves decide that we should do away with the CBC.
In any case, the future of the CBC does not look good and much like most good things in this world these days, it is being destroyed from within rather than from any outside force.

Compared to what the actual bookkeeping must look like to manage at this scale, this document is actually quite approachable.
