Canadian journalism is in crisis. CBC’s long-term funding is uncertain. Foreign big tech is running wild. FRIENDs invited outspoken Canadian comic character Ed the Sock to get the message out — and you can bet he pulled no punches.

Ed the Sock explains why both Liberal and Conservatives calling the CBC biased is actually a good thing!

Ed the Sock wonders why CBC lives on a diet of ramen noodles while our government lets foreign tech giants like Netflix take billions out of our country without requiring them to reinvest in Canadian content.
“We owned the podium. Now we can own the medium. But just like Olympic training and basketball, we won’t get there without money!”
