It's Child Rights Day! Did you know that in just five Canadian provinces, 1 in 100 children face parental incarceration - 27% more than in Europe. Canada must invest in data collection to protect and support these children #NationalChildDay

Mary Walsh reminds us: without the CBC, Canadians lose a shared thread that connects us from coast to coast.
In a country this vast, public broadcasting gives us a common voice, a common story, and a way to see each other.
Lose that—and we lose something essential.
