CBC Gem is a great free alternative to Netflix and Apple TV (self.buycanadian)

They have great documentaries, movies and tv series such as North of North.

The more that people use their services the more funding they can can receive from the federal government to expand their programming lineup.

Or sign up for premium if you'd like to contribute.

TVO is also has some nice programming for those in Ontario. Also a non-profit.

hello... i already pay for premium CBC GEM... it's called TAXES..... and if they're not getting enough funding, then i also support increasing their funding. not forcing me to create yet another login and password for something

Sor, could you kindly put on a deodorant? Your entitlement reeks.

How is it entitlement?

I am a huge supporter of the CBC. But it should be funded properly, instead of asking for subscription fees. It is a gov't service

Would you be OK having to pay a subscription fee to use your local library? Or do you use it for free?

Wow, so entitled!

My guess is the government pays for maintenance and the subscriptions are for development/improvement.
