Frankly, I have no precise idea of who "owns" it now. Do you? I'll bet you don't. You just seem to have pure faith that as long as it's owned by some individual or individuals, it's in safer hands than if it were communally owned. Your instincts are definitely the opposite of mine, and I think mine are better rooted in the Canadian experience than yours are.
I do not know who the legal owners are. I do know that there have been an awful lot of threads on CBC and how babblers are annoyed with bias and their reporting. As a private organization, rabble is accountable to us as readers and commenters and if do not keep coming back and clicking and if they don't satisfy us with content - we will not return, which means no advertisers and no donations.
If it were appropriated into some type of extension of CBC - I highly doubt that most members here would be celebrating.
If Jack Layton ran the next election on the promise of making all property is this country universally-owned, I guarantee he would lose seats.
