True North, Strong and Free (From American Influence): The Case Against Defunding the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Full text linkSince becoming the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, Pierre Poilievre has campaigned on defunding Canada’s English-language national broadcaster, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). In the opinion of Mr. Poilievre, Canadian tax dollars would be put to better use if the Canadian government ceased subsidizing the CBC and encouraged private broadcasters to fill the cultural and entertainment void left in its wake. Mr. Poilievre’s campaign promise to defund the CBC comes at an interesting time in Canadian politics. With the resignation of Justin Trudeau, an imminent federal election, and the 51st State rhetoric echoing from the White House, Canadians have had their national identity called into question. Prior to the return of Donald Trump to the American Presidency, the CBC’s funding was a relatively minor issue on the Canadian campaign trail; however, since January 2025, the future of the CBC has been thrust into the political spotlight. It is for this reason that a contemporary review of the CBC’s value to Canadians became necessary.
This paper illustrates that the political turmoil surrounding the CBC and its significance to Canadian entertainment culture is not new. The role of the CBC in protecting Canada’s national identity from the threat of American cultural imperialism has been the subject of political debate in Canada for nearly a century. Ultimately, this paper explains that the CBC is a public utility that is statutorily obligated to create programming that is distinctly Canadian– –not to turn a profit. As Canada’s public broadcaster, the CBC serves as an alternative to the relentless waves of American programming that flood north across the 49th parallel. The continued existence of the CBC is critical to the protection of a distinctly Canadian identity, and the Corporation deserves to continue to receive funding from the Canadian Government. As Canadians head to the polls on April 28, 2025, they will have an opportunity to vote on the future of the CBC and, in turn, the protection of Canada’s national identity
Making Freedom of Contract Real
No full textIt is widely but incorrectly believed that commercially sophisticated parties are free to make whatever contracts they choose. Contracts contain a “procedural” part and a “substantive” part. The procedural part regulates how contracts function. Thus, offers must be communicated, certain terms must be written, contracts must be performed in good faith. The substantive part regulates the terms of trade. Thus, parties can trade ten green widgets for price p or 12 blue widgets for price q.
The rules that constitute the procedural part are mandatory. This lecture focuses on three important procedural rules. The remedy rules require the promisor to transfer to a disappointed promisee the value the promisee would have realized from the transaction. Parties cannot contract to permit the promisor to pay less or require it to pay more. The interpretive rules authorize courts to admit all relevant and material evidence in order to find what the parties intended their contract to achieve. Courts ignore party requests to decide on less evidence—that is, to sacrifice accuracy for reduced trial costs. The modification rules prevent parties from restricting their right to modify even when banning modification would increase the parties’ expected gain. This lecture will argue that contract law’s mandatory rules should be reduced to defaults.
Freedom of contract today thus exists only for a contract’s substantive part, but contracts also must satisfy two “enforcement constraints:” Courts will not enforce contracts unless they are procedurally just and not create externalities. The procedural justice constraint traditionally is satisfied when parties are sophisticated, reasonably informed and free from coercion. The no externalities constraint traditionally is satisfied when a contract’s performance would not impose material costs on non-parties. Scholars recently argued that contract law should contain a third constraint: Contracts must do substantive justice as between the parties. This constraint would require courts not to enforce a contract unless the parties were in roughly equal material and social circumstances; they negotiated with the goal of doing justice between them; and their contract would not worsen the circumstances of non-parties. Courts are becoming receptive to these claims. This lecture will argue to the contrary: Contract law should not add a substantive justice constraint.
To summarize, sophisticated parties today are not free to decide how their contracts should be governed and their freedom regarding what to trade is increasingly threatened. To make freedom of contract “real,” the law should give these parties actual freedom over their commercial lives
