Subhead:To be clear, the CBC won’t tell us what each panelist is costing taxpayers.#

The CBC—our bloated, taxpayer-funded state broadcaster—runs a panel called At Issue, packed with the same predictable, establishment-friendly talking heads, and won’t divulge how much they’re paying them.
It’s ok if you haven’t seen At Issue before. You’re not alone. No one watches it.
I wanted to know how much Andrew Coyne’s fainting couch debutante hysteria about Trump, Chantal Hébert’s misinformation about independent media (including us!), and Althia Raj’s partisan Liberal insider hot takes—as Trudeau’s very own biographer—were costing taxpayers.
But when we asked, the CBC refused to tell us.
To be clear, I know the CBC won’t tell me what each person makes per appearance – I wanted to know how much the panel as a whole was costing us.
