In 1984, the newly elected Prime Minister Brian Mulroney announced massive budget cuts to CBC, cuts that, according to Knowlton Nash, far exceeded cuts made to other government-funded bodies. These cuts forced staff layoffs, the discontinuing of programming, and the introduction of commercials to content that had previously been commercial-free. Public support for the CBC remained high.
This rally and protest took place on a cold January 4, 1991.
