Le gouvernement fédéral mettra sur pied, au cours des prochains mois, un comité d’experts pour « réfléchir à l’avenir » de CBC/Radio-Canada et assurer la « pérennité » du diffuseur public. On a modernisé la Loi sur la radiodiffusion, et la prochaine étape, c’est vraiment CBC/Radio-Canada. On est rendus de plus en plus à se dire : à quoi ça ressemble, CBC/Radio-Canada, au 21e siècle, avec toutes ces plateformes-là? Photo : La Presse canadienne / Ryan RemiorzCBC/Radio-Canada invoque des facteurs structurels comme la diminution des revenus publicitaires à la télévision et la concurrence féroce des géants du numérique pour justifier ses compressions, estimées à près de 125 millions de dollars pour l’exercice 2024-2025. C’est un exercice qu’on a demandé à CBC/Radio-Canada de faire aussi, mais non, la décision finale n’a pas été prise.

This claim reflects a deliberate misportrayal of the nature of the food retail business. While retail is thus an inherently “low margin” business activity, this hardly means it is not profitable. *1* That may seem “small” relative to the firm’s total revenues: which reached $45 billion over those nine months, an increase of 6%. In this context, it is quite wrong to equate a “low margin” business with a “low profit” business. The experience of the food retail sector contrasts with that of the food manufacturing sector in Canada.

Have hordes of investors – from mom and pops to Wall Street giants – gobbled up single-family residences across the state to make them rentals? Yes, California has the most single-family rentals in the nation at 2.1 million units, or 15% of the US total. But between 2017 and 2022, the number of California’s single-family rentals dropped by 81,548 units, according to Census data.

Dear Liz: Finance companies claim if you owe too much credit card debt that by law you need not pay it all back, but can retire some or most of this debt. They say this is not a credit card debt reduction program through balance transfers or debt consolidation loans. With debt settlement, the debtor stops making payments on their credit card debt, hoping that the issuers eventually will settle for less than what is owed. AdvertisementMost people who struggle with credit card debt would be better off filing bankruptcy or using a credit counseling service’s debt management program. Bankruptcy, meanwhile, allows credit card debt to be legally erased without triggering a tax bill.

The province doesn't currently encourage re-homing feral rabbits; it encourages trapping them and putting them down. Canmore's feral rabbit problem started when pets were released in the 1980s. Officials decided something needed to be done about a bunny boom in 2011 — estimating the population had doubled from 1,000 to 2,000 feral rabbits.

"To be clear, all possible measures are being considered in the context of managing our financial pressures in the months ahead, including senior executive compensation." Tait announced job cuts earlier in the week, saying the move was necessary to make up for a $125-million shortfall. Following her remarks, CBC spokesman Leon Mar clarified that the broadcaster would not be reconsidering the bonuses it would have paid under existing contracts. In their statement on Friday, the senior executives said they are "committed to minimizing the effect of cuts on our programs and services to Canadians and on our workforce." Liberal, Conservative and New Democrat MPs on the committee universally expressed that they did not feel it would be appropriate for CBC executives to receive bonuses while it planned to cut its workforce.

CBC/Radio-Canada head Catherine Tait and seven vice-presidents released a brief statement today, after MPs of different political stripes voiced concern about the plan to cut 600 jobs and not fill 200 vacancies over the next year. Tait announced those plans earlier in the week, saying the move was necessary to make up for a $125-million budget shortfall. But political leaders have expressed concern about the impact the job cuts will have on programming, especially for French-language audiences both in Quebec and outside the province.
