This is an approach that countries other than the US have had for decades.

As a result, CBC News is one of the only Canadian outlets still doing investigative journalism and breaking major stories, even as media conglomerates like Postmedia vacuum up local papers and strip them for parts.
Of course, Pierre Poilievre, the current leader of the Conservative party (and frontrunner for Prime Minister in the next Parliament) wants to strip that funding and kill CBC stone dead. So this is about to become a major fight in Canada too.
